You realize that means there’s been more infections at the White House over the last day than in New Zealand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand and Australia combined

“And now at least 30 people in Trump’s circle have tested positive for Covid-19. You realize that means there’s been more infections at the White House over the last day than in New Zealand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand and Australia combined. The White House Rose Garden is like the wet market of America right now.” —Trevor Noah

“It’s bad enough that Trump’s White House flouted safety protocols before an outbreak, but what’s even more disturbing is that after Trump found out that he could’ve been exposed to the virus, he didn’t quarantine. He didn’t social distance. He carried on with his life with complete disregard for other people’s lives. Trump attended a fundraiser, sans mask, in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday evening despite knowing before leaving Washington that close aide Hicks had tested positive for the virus, which is truly despicable. Trump knew that he could be infected and he put his own supporters at risk anyway? I feel so bad for anyone who paid money to attend this fundraiser. Because those people didn’t want Covid. They just wanted to give Trump enough money so that he’d let them dump chemicals in a river. Why should something bad happen to them?” —Trevor Noah
