Trump Makes Election Speech In Nevada And Risks Crown Decay (And A Big Lip)

In June, against the advice of health experts, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, held an electoral rally in front of thousands of supporters in a closed room. After that, the number of cases in this region increased significantly. Local health officials in Tulsa, Oklahoma, attributed the rise in coronavirus infections in the district to this appearance in the campaign.
And did Trump’s team learn anything from that? No. For more than an hour, Trump spoke with largely unmasked supporters at the production facility of a construction equipment manufacturer in the city of Henderson, Nevada. Contrary to the crown requirements of the US state of Nevada.

“Tell your governor to open his state,” Trump said, referring to the state’s head of government, Democrat Steve Sisolak.
Angry authorities
A spokeswoman for the city of Henderson told CNN that the event violated state regulations on the crown. Gatherings of more than 50 people in a public or private setting are currently prohibited. As the host of the event, the manufacturer could also lose its business license. Shortly before the event began, Governor Sisolak harshly criticized Trump. Sisolak tweeted that the president was acting “merciless and selfish” and endangering “countless human lives” in Nevada.
Trump’s campaign team said the event will measure body temperature and provide masks and hand sanitizer. At Trump rallies, however, participants often do not wear masks and often do not maintain a greater physical distance.
In the US, with its around 330 million inhabitants, around 6.5 million people have been infected with the pathogen Sars-CoV-2 and around 194,000 have died.
8 more years?
Trump did not let the rules of the crown ruin his evening. As usual, he appeared loudly in front of his fans. They sang Trump in the White House for four more years. Trump himself is already thinking about the future. Again he is thinking out loud about extending his term beyond the eight-year limit.
Before you can act on this threat, you first have to hit Joe Biden. Polls still show a bleak picture of Trump’s second term in office.
