Trump is like surrounded by disloyal and traitorous people who refuse to obey him. He is now furious that Americans returned to the U.S:


Trump furious Americans infected with coronavirus flew back to US without his permission

President Trump was furious that 14 Americans infected with the coronavirus returned to the United States without his permission rather than remain in quarantine overseas, according to a new report.

Trump had been briefed that the healthy U.S. passengers who spent weeks quarantined aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan would be allowed to fly home on two chartered planes -- while those who were sick or infected would stay in Japan to prevent the spread of the deadly virus.

The president became "furious" with senior advisers after learning the 14 Americans who tested positive had been put on a plane with healthy passengers, according to The Washington Post. One official told the paper that the failure to inform Trump of the decision in advance of the plane's departure was a “big operational mistake.”

Trump complained that bringing home the infected Americans could damage the adminstratration's response to the global health outbreak.

While the Americans evacuated from the ship were on buses on the tarmac in Tokyo, U.S. officials got the results back that 14 had tested positive for COVID-19 but had not yet shown symptoms. Officials made the decision to have them fly home anyway, but “isolated” from the other passengers on the plane.

“These individuals were moved in the most expeditious and safe manner to a specialized containment area on the evacuation aircraft to isolate them in accordance with standard protocol,” the State Department and Department of Health and Human Services said in a joint statement Monday.

“After consultation with HHS officials … the State Department made the decision to allow the 14 individuals, who were in isolation, separated from other passengers, and continued to be asymptomatic, to remain on the aircraft to complete the evacuation process.”

The infected passengers were to be isolated for medical care upon arriving back in the United States.

It is weird that he allowed Saudi Barbaria entry to Pensacola, Florida, to attack and kill Americans. But he won’t allow Americans to return to the US.

We don't want a second AIDS epidemic, Trump just cured the first one, enough is enough.

So Trump gets told that the infected patients would be kept in quarantine, then his officials change their minds behind his back and release the patients without notifying their boss.

And people wonder why he distrusts the bureaucracy?

Bureaucracy is the opposite of random officials changing decisions willy nilly behind their bosses backs.

The one thing Trump does right... and his stooges fuck it up for him. That's some hilarious (ly depressing, considering the topic,) irony.

Hey, maybe he shouldn't have sacked his entire pandemic and health security team.

But sure, hate the bureaucracy, trash it, then wonder why everything's chaotic and disorganised and nobody has a clue what the basic process is supposed to be.
