I happened to be print pooler aboard the plane Wednesday for that trip to Minnesota, as I have been several times since the pandemic began.
Some observations:
1) Obviously, the tone for this WH's approach to this has been set at the very top.

2) Trump is endangering not just political staff who want to work for him, but career staff who work in the building and Secret Service agents who have to guard him night and day.
When Trump travels, that anti-mask culture travels with him.
Trump seems to have understood the dangers -- at least to himself -- as he has put others' health and lives at risk.
Finally, and truly mystifyingly, knowing he'd been around someone who had tested positive, Trump WENT AHEAD TO A FUNDRAISER AT HIS GOLF COURSE!
No, actually, finally this time: A far bigger consequence of Trump's mendacity and ignorance and demonstrated selfishness in this pandemic is the 208,000 who have died.
Had Trump handled this like Angela Merkel in Germany, that number would only be 40,000.huffpost.com/entry/trump-sh…
