An attending physician at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center said Trump's decision to greet supporters was 'insanity.'
Two other passengers in the front of the car were pictured wearing face masks as they drove Trump past supporters waving flags and cheering.
"Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential 'drive-by' just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick," he tweeted."They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity."The doctor later added:"The irresponsibility is astounding. My thoughts are with the Secret Service forced to play.
The Brown Center for Digital Health director Megan Ranney MD also weighed in on the drive-by stunt, tweeting that Trump was"still infectious" and required to isolate under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.Trump's brief trip outside Walter Reed medical came shortly after he posted a video praising doctors at the hospital for their"absolutely amazing" work.
