Knowing that Trump was coming and likely going to contaminate the facility because he wasn't going to wear a mask I wonder if they just did a token amount of production while he was there.
Should just sell them as Presidential swabs breathed on by Trump himself. I'm sure some MAGA crowd would buy them even if charged more.
lol, nobody seems to have read the article. they're talking about ten minutes' worth of swabs and it might even be SOP for those kinds of visits. Go back to your lives, citizens.
They said the machines were only on when he was there, so it was probably in some sort of maintenance mode.
I read the article. This was just another Trump photo op. The company turned on the machines just for his photo op. The article doesn’t say how long he was in the factory. It could have been a few minutes, or much longer. The Article says that this type of photo op usually lasts a few minutes, but it doesn’t say how long this photo op lasted, or how many swabs had to be discarded because Trump didn’t wear a mask. I suppose the number of swabs discarded could have been just a very few, or it could have been thousands. The company refused to say how many swabs they were forced to discard because of the Trump Photo op.
I don't get why he is visiting a factory in the first place, doesn't he have more important things to do like golf?
Yes, most bosses and business owners don't care if 10 minutes of production is ruined and wasted. Most businesses don't care about productivity and efficiency. I get it. It isn't the biggest or most important story out there. But it is a d******d move by anyone and especially someone who claims they are pro-business and even worse when it is by a person who is supposed to be a leader.
I think this whole thing is just ridiculous. They throw away a bunch of swabs and waste resources simply because they don't have the balls to tell him to either put on a mask or don't come in.
