Being willing to take a bullet for Trump is one thing.
Being recklessly exposed to a Covid + Trump in an enclosed car due to Trump's ego and political ideas about not appearing weak is another.
This is the most inconsiderate dumbass president ever.
He said "He's learned alot about Covid".
After he got it and it affected Him.Before that he did not seem to have much curiosity for it.
He's a selfish asshole.
I also question the assertion of 99.8% survival.
The same guy in other posts claims the "vast majority of people love Trump".
This does not jive with reality.
Trump did not win a majority vote in 2016.He lost by 3-4 million.
Right now the majority want Biden.
Only 40% want Trump.

And at least one of the secret service agents has been with Trump at the hospital, where he probably has been at higher risk of of catching it than he was in the vehicle.
Agree with your other points, although Trump should win a good bit more than 40% of the popular vote.
The 99.8% survival rate, which I think is high, was probably for all the population, all age groups. For people like Trump it's much lower. Based on the following and taking into account Trump is overweight and male, I figured the probability he'd die from Covid could be 5% , maybe more, if he were a run of the mill guy on the street:

But since he's president and gets the medical care that comes with that, it's probably significantly lower.
