White House staff are saying that it was insane for Trump to leave the hospital, and are calling the White House a cesspool of COVID.
Axios quoted administration officials as saying:
“It’s insane that he would return to the White House and jeopardize his staff’s health when we are still learning of new cases among senior staff. This place is a cesspool.”
“He was so concerned with preventing embarrassing stories that he exposed thousands of his own staff and supporters to a deadly virus. He has kept us in the dark, and now our spouses and kids have to pay the price. It’s just selfish.”

Donald Trump has endangered the lives of thousands of people with the White House coronavirus outbreak. It is a political stunt that backfired and may have cost Trump any chance of winning reelection.
