Okay so I’m gonna say what we’ve all been thinking (or too busy to think). Trump shouldn’t be receiving any special care that the VAST majority of Americans who get COVID would not be able to receive. He’s not special and no better than any other person.
It’s his position as president that is significant, and that position is secured and protected by the 25th amendment that describes succession in case of incapacitation, death, etc. of a sitting president.
If experimental drugs and therapies to treat patients are not available to the masses, they should stay specifically within their experimental trials and not be given preference to people of privilege.
Like.... THE ETHICS OF THIS ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED SOLELY BECAUSE HES THE PRESIDENT. HES JUST A PERSON LIKE THE REST OF US EVEN IF HE ACTS LIKE A RACIST WHITE SUPREMACISTS SAVAGE WITH NO REGARDS TO LIFE THAT DOESNT BENEFIT HIMSELF
It’s like the irony of a man who is a COVID downplayer and a science denier gets to receive the best science has to offer (if you’re an elite with extreme privilege)
