I think of all those people suffering alone in hospital rooms, unable to visit or see family members for fear of infecting them.
What about people who don’t even have health care?

The ordinary people who suffer don't matter. The driver doesn't matter.
In Trump's world, only he matters.
Has his staff thought about what his illness means for the country? Have they cared who he might have infected?
Nope.
They're planning their optics and propaganda.

Not satire: And if Dear Leader decides it is best for the people to catch a glimpse of the Leader, the driver's job is to do the Leader's will.
If this puts the driver's life in danger, the Leader's desire matters more than the driver's life.

For rule of law / democracy / fairness people, it makes no sense.
For Leader Principle / fascism / hierarchy people, it makes perfect sense.

He needs to keep his supporters pumped up. He knows this won't win him new voters, but if his base abandons him, he is nothing except a sick, broken, and broke has-been.
Fascist leaders who stop projecting "success" don't have happy endings.

I don't believe Trump is faking his illness to stage a miraculous recovery.
None of this helps him.
"Handling of the virus" gets Trump terrible approval ratings. He'd rather talk about the economy. From 538:
The care he is receiving is not available to anyone else.

"I'm a strongman who miraculously recovered," doesn't resonate with people who can't walk outside at the first sign of symptoms, step into a helicopter, and fly to a top-notch hospital.
Most of us know someone with Covid who received very different treatment.

Chris Christie claims to have "checked himself in" to a hospital as a "precautionary measure."
@GovChristie is lying, but that's beside the point.
Trump paid $750 in taxes and is receiving medical care at the expense of the people, while trying to take away their health care.

Trump getting sick and not recovering will devastate with his base, who looks to him as an invincible strongman.
If he recovers, his base will stick with him, but not the people who will resent the obvious hierarchy he represents.
