Trump's Tulsa Rally: Claims Safe But Demands Attendees Sign Liability Waiver

Trump's Unfounded Views vs. COVID-19's Reality 

The risks of attending a Trump rally in Tulsa, OK (Denver Post – the AP) … even as Trump implies as he has in the past about being responsible for test shortfalls, etc., he again says that about this upcoming Tulsa rally. Read the full story to get the full impact – but here is the most critical part which may be the true test of this virus' strength vis-à-vis Trump hunches.

ATTENDEES MUST SIGN A WAIVER TO ATTEND: The Trump campaign, in recognition of the risk, has tried to protect itself from lawsuits with waiver language on its registration website that says:

“By clicking register below, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. 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., liable for illness or injury.”

Whew boy, this is so SOP for Trump say in essence: “I don’t feel responsible,” or “I give myself a 10 for handling things,” or “I called it a pandemic long before anyone else called it a pandemic,” etc. etc. simply more from President BS’er, and all in his own words NOT mine. 

A short video (about 5:30 minutes) as a reminder of those statements:

His actual words for history 

With this Tulsa rally, and more Trump rallies expected, will we also see more waiver requirements (his CYA moment) — my analogy: He prepares the meal (rally), sets the table (place and time), serves the guests (his favorite routine self-praise speech), has everything he wants in place (mostly base red-meat hype), then he sits back as some or perhaps many get sick, may need to be hospitalized, or sadly may die later from the result of his meal (rally), will he mutter in true Trump fashion: “Not my fault.”

My 2 cents: Nothing worthwhile to add – it’s all in the story above and video reminder, too. All from this slick, skilled, con-man in his own words.

Now we wait for Tulsa results in a couple of weeks – and see how effective his attendee waiver is. I hope we have turned the corner, but I fear we have not. Time may not be on our side (fingers crossed).

Thanks for stopping by.
