The White House plans at least 25 indoor holiday parties this month. All will include more than 50 guests, the Washington Post reported, and few attendees will be tested in advance. Invitations make no mention of coronavirus precautions.
Kayleigh McEnany Defends White House Holiday Parties Amid COVID Surge
Not to be outdone:

But almost as if on cue, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany ruined it by trying to credit the success of the vaccine to President Donald Trump. During a press briefing on December 2, McEnany told reporters the “tremendous achievement” will result in as many as 40 million vaccine doses ready by the end of the year. “It’s having a businessman as president,” she said, before absolutely destroying us with: “It’s the Trump vaccine.”
Would somebody please bitch-slap her? (I'd even fork over a few dollars to see it)

Trump said in May that he had been taking hydroxychloroquine for “weeks” as a coronavirus preventative. “What do you have to lose?” he asked reporters. He said the drug, taken with an antibiotic, had the potential to be “one of the biggest game-changers in the history of medicine.”
That covers Trump. Now we need to determine if his rabid followers also imbibed this drug.
