Trump shakes countless hands at big Mar-a-Lago fundraiser

Seems that Trump and his millionaire donors believe that money is the antidote to coronavirus. This gathering of greed and stupidity may bring about some poetic justice.

President Donald Trump is an admitted germaphobe, but even with the coronavirus on everyone’s mind, that hasn’t stopped him from glad-handling people during fundraisers that brought in millions this weekend for his re-election campaign.

As fear of mass infection of coronavirus at large gatherings prompted more cancellations of concerts, classes, sporting events and religious services over the weekend, President Donald Trump glad-handed with over 1,000 donors to his re-election campaign, shaking hands and mingling with guests at at Mar-a-Lago.

He's such a moron that he probably believes that pandemics affect only the peasants. But what the hell. The herd needs to be thinned every once in a while. They really believe it can't happen to them.

Mar-a-Lago is extremely vulnerable, trumpy is just too stupid to realize it.

In this article it mentions : Also on Sunday, Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner, and officials with the county and the Florida Department of Health, confirmed that a Pennsylvania person who attended a conference held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach on February 28, 2020 tested positive for the virus.
