Keep in mind that this is a veterans hospital for seriously injured soldiers and he is occupying valuable resources with his reckless behavior.

That chart was from 2012, here's some more recent data.

By 2016, the nation’s political map corresponded neatly to the distribution of prosperity: Mr. Trump won 58 percent of the vote in the counties with the poorest 10 percent of the population. In the richest, his share was 31 percent. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...rs-income.html

Will they get a security motorcade to wave to their love ones or not?

What about the medical staff and security who are putting their health on the line to treat him?

Yes, I noted that in 2016, Hillary only won the bottom two income groups.

Pray tell how does Trump put his supporters in dangerous situations.

I've not attended any rallies and I have a brain to think for myself and make my own decisions on masks, distancing, isolation, attending gatherings, etc. as I assume every rational thinking adult does.

We forget these precautions were to 'FLATTEN THE CURVE" there was never an expectation that precautions would ensure that we would not contract the virus. People get it. People who wear masks, people who dont. People who follow all CDC guidelines, people who dont. People who go to work, people who work from home.

It has always been the case that those with money, those in high government positions receive much better medical care than the rest of us. You act as though its something new and we should be surprised or resentful.

Really?

And here's a list of billionaires who donated to Trump right after he passed their billionaire friendly tax bill

It's a bit more complicated than that...

Quote:
Republicans prefer to “provide for the collective good through private institutions... This relationship is called consumption philanthropy, in which people give to a religious organization or a school from which they will derive a benefit in the form of, say, a better religious education program or a new gymnasium.” Giving to a food bank or a homeless shelter has a very different outcome than does giving to a private school. https://nonprofitquarterly.org/repub...er-story-here/

From us? You have affordable healthcare. Free or subsidized Obama care? What about those who don't qualify for free or subsidized premiums, those who couldn't get in the chaotic market place window? Those who have to pay fines for no insurance or on top of their premiums because their private or group insurance didnt meet Obamacare requirements.
