    If he had symptoms before the memo, he wasn't trying to save anyone but himself. He knew what would happen when he sent it...

    They only read headlines that they believe will in some way give them an excuse to bad mouth Trump. It's getting more ridiculous since the virus hit.

    Oh you go prove that the captain is like that. Because it looks like a very dirty and cheap shot from you.

    He had lots of options but chose the one guaranteed to get him off that ship...

    He wrote a memo about the condition of the crew to his superiors. That was than leaked to the news. He got fired, like that Chinese doctor for telling the truth but got labelled as causing a panic,.... and he knew all that beforehand to get off his own ship? "bit" far fetched. You need to prove that. I asked before.

    He tested positive. There was a limited number of cases when he wrote the memo. He knew who they were and suddenly he's off the ship. Hardly far fetched...

    What many do not grasp is that society operates on the basis of rules. One deciding to operate outside of the rules, because they believe they are doing what is right, often causes more harm than good in broader terms, regardless of intention.

    Executing a known child molester in public by setting them on fire is an act that many could support as being the right thing, due to the harm and suffering such an individual causes through their actions. But even if it were morally right, it is still legally wrong to act in such a manner. Rules exist for a reason.

    Limited? That's very dishonest of you. There were over a 100 people infected on that ship. It was obviously out of control on a ship where social distancing is impossible for such a large group. And you do not know when he was tested positive.

    Donald acts just like the Chinese government, who fined the doctor who raised alarm about the outbreak.

    There are 4700 people on that ship. 100 is limited. I saw he tested positive in the news yesterday, but the article stated he had symptoms prior to his removal, which puts it around the time of the memo...

    You can't practice social distancing on that ship!
    It's only a matter of time till the virus infects everybody.

    So what. He still got fired by Donald draft dodger Trump, and removed of the ship, even when he was sick. His disembarkment went viral, because his people supports his actions. That proves he was not keen to get off the ship. Your claim is not founded.

    That simply because an individual is believed to be doing the right thing, does not mean they really are doing the right thing.

    His votes on that ship? Is that how the schmuck of a captain has run nuclear aircraft carrier... through a collective vote? :confusion:

    Trump said in his press conference that.
    1. The captain did something he should not have done.

    2. That he was going to talk to the Capt and his superior before he would weigh in on the subject.

    This has next to nothing to do with Trump..
