HIs balcony appearance without a mask and dismissal of the coronavirus’s dangers show he’s gained no compassion himself.
Soon after President Donald Trump tested positive for the coronavirus, he received a special experimental treatment of monoclonal antibodies that almost no one else in the world has access to outside ongoing clinical trials. Since these therapeutic agents aren’t yet available to the public, the president was able to receive them through a “compassionate use” protocol, which makes experimental treatments available on a limited basis to those in desperate need with no other alternatives available.
We’ll have to wait a while to know whether they worked for Trump’s infection, but we do know from watching him carelessly remove his mask Monday night, after returning from Walter Reed hospital and dismissing the risk of the coronavirus, that he comes back to the White House with less compassion — and more contempt — than ever.
