Top Doctor Warns Trump Is Endangering Lives With July 4 Rally

[Zorro]

A top doctor has warned that President Donald Trump’s much-hyped July 4 rally is potentially fatal.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist and CNN medical analyst, urged the cancellation of Trump’s Washington, D.C. rally for America’s 250th birthday, citing sweltering temperatures that could put attendees at risk.

“The same way the outdoor inauguration was canceled last year because of the cold, the rally on the Mall this July 4 should be canceled because of the intense heat (> 100 degrees),” he wrote in an X post on Thursday.

“Dangerous weather and large crowds is a bad combination,” Reiner warned. The doctor has been one of the few medical experts to demand answers about the 80-year-old president’s health, citing his Oval Office slumps and odd examination schedule.

1. Actually if they want to commit mass suicide

Please let them!

6. Could end up...

Looking like jonestown, they already drank the kool-aid.

2. I think the "doctor" should mind his own business

If MAGA wants to off themselves to pwn teh libs, let them.

3. Looked at DC weather report for 4th

100 degrees with 80% chance of thunder storms. Perfect.

[Resistance1]

8. Not quite

Perfect is trump passes out from a heat stroke mid-sentence and a lightning bolt vaporizes his ass before he hits the floor. Perfect!

to God's eyeballs.

4. Will Hegseth force thousands of military to attend?

[sheshe2]

12. Someone has a post here...

there are going to be multiple flyovers that are scheduled at very short intervals. It is an accident waiting to happen.

[3Hotdogs]

17. If no others, the military bands will be forced to be there.

5. This will be Trump's excuse for not giving his "long speech".

He'll cancel, not because he doesn't want to be there, but because he's concerned with the health of his supporters. And the fools will believe that.

7. The smoke from the classlessly gluttonous fireworks will probably kill someone.

Not unlike how wildfire smoke can cause excess deaths in people with lung and heart disease, which are difficult to directly attribute in any one case but are clearly present in the epidemiology data as a whole.

9. Of course, ask PEDO if he cares. nt

[Blue Owl]

10. Not to mention the collapsing stage

[scipan]

11. According to my weather app, it will only be around 90 degrees at 9pm

But the post speech fireworks for 45 minutes, along with the heat, are concerning.

[wnylib]

13. I don't think there is much to worry about,

considering the attendance at his events so far.

But some people might turn out for the fireworks since that's traditional for the holiday.

ETA: At least not much to worry about regarding a crowd at his speech and other events during the day.

The fireworks, though, could be a cause of concern because Trump always hires the cheapest, most incompetent people. They could burn down DC. Good thing there might be rain to put out a possible fire.

14. I would think the mosquitoes

would be particularly bad, especially if there is any rain.

[niyad]

15. And this would be a problem why, exactly?

[TomSlick]

18. I should be ashamed but I would be delighted to see hundreds of MAGAts carted off with heat stroke.

20. If you're stupid enough to go

Place is going to be sweltering
