Trump REALLY Shouldn't Have Said This About Nurses

Read more here:

"During an event meant to highlight the production of personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers across the country, President Donald Trump issued out controversial remarks, comparing those workers to soldiers who are “running into death” on the proverbial battlefields of the coronavirus crisis.

Trump made the comments in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Thursday during a visit to a medical equipment facility."

I am an RN and the entire PPE situation makes me see red. I really detest Trump and his cronies.

“Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.”

I'm a nurse and I cant say how incompetent this president is...not one of us gets any good ppe or money compensation at all and we r risking our lives how messed up is this administration.

[taramcphee]

When he said he was going to drain the swamp who knew he meant to bring into the White House as his subordinates

[rachelk]

SICK of people calling nurses “soldiers”, “warriors”, heroes”, etc. I’m a former nurse and NO ONE ever referred to me by any of these descriptors despite the fact that I took care of patients in almost every setting and discipline - while being treated like a poorly paid slave. I HATED IT for too many legitimate reasons to list here. It almost killed me.

Trump joking about death is itself a joke. He will face death like the rest of us someday. In his final moments of life, Trump will realize that all the money, all the Obama bullying, all the MAGA rallies will do nothing to save him from the cold hands of death. He will beg for help, he will yearn for salvation, but nobody will be there to save him. Maybe then he'll finally learn to appreciate the value of life. If not, at least I'll take comfort knowing that the last thing he experiences in his existence is absolute horror, pain and hopelessness.

Every time trump opens his mouth he accidentally campaigns for Biden.

My president said this is gonna disappear like a miracle in april

Nurses are people who get educated on how to care for patients. We did NOT sign up to be warriors. Starting a IV is not shooting a gun.

[shazarkhan]

I’ll tell you what’s beautiful:
“Vote him out”

[spicymayonesa]

Meanwhile his supporters call the nurses fake

[rangerluxray]

My mom works 2 jobs one in the kitchen at a retirement home and one in the kitchen at a hospital and I'm worried about her every time she goes to work and she's not getting hazard pay at either job

In 2008, Bush was probably saying to himself, 'Man, I'm the worst president ever and probably will be the worst for decades'. The Trump comes along and Bush says, 'that was fast'.

[kennetratcliff]

Oh my Goodness. He actually said this. "Nurses dying is beautiful."
He's visited one Hospital since the Coronavirus pandemic. One damn hospital and he refused to help these nurses receive the PPE equipment they needed to help protect and save their lives along with the lives of other patients who needed the equipment so desperately.
Trump would not push to help these professional nurses because he doesn't care. He does not care one bit.

[dianebryant]

This is a MADMAN, I can’t believe no one can get RID of HIM.

[brandonperales]

Republicans hate numbers like my daughter hates broccoli

[ryvyr]

What level of ironic unawareness gives draft dodging bonespur the moral authority to utter a word about warriors dodging bullets?

[chillywillie]

If Trump talks for over a minute he is gonna say something stupid.

[dren]

IM A RN, AND IM HIGHLY OFFENDED!! WE DONT GO TO WORK TO DIE!! GIVE US OUR MASKS AND GOWNS!!🤬

[auntiebobbolink]

I recently saw a video of an angry doctor saying stop the stupid flyovers! Give us the equipment we need! We don't need flyovers, we need proper medical equipment!
But that's too sane, reasonable and responsible for #45 and company to grasp.
