15 VI 2020: Trump collecting waivers

I was not surprised to read that the Trump Machine is requiring anyone who wishes to attend the coming Circus in Tulsa to sign a waiver. The document begins with a warning (required, I’m sure, by Trumpist lawyers) that “inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present.” Given this risk, we might expect the document to say “If you are in a high-risk category for COVID-19, you should not attend” and to offer advice about how to minimize the risk of infection in a crowd, e.g., everybody wear a face mask. No, the document continues “By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.: BOC Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers, liable for any illness or injury.” That’s Trump’s empathy and sense of responsibility at work. His zombies are going to have to attend the Circus at their own risk.

This is another instance of Trump refusing to take any responsibility

If you are to have any dealings with Trump, you do so at your own risk.
