Oh hey look at that. I didn't see a direct quote and I generally don't pay enough attention to post numbers to have made the association right away.

Life isn't without risk. Any reasonable person isn't gonna lock themselves away forever based on a tiny statistical chance they could die. If I did that I'd never leave the house.

So you're not only dodging the question (it's a simple yes or no: Would you play?), you're also misrepresenting the issue. Nobody's saying it's reasonable to lock yourself away forever. Everybody with half a brain, however, is saying that unnecessarily putting people at risk is bad.

Quite simply, Trump could do his entire job from the hospital. He does not need to be paraded around in a limo. He does not need to be back in the White House. The tiny handful of duties that he would need to be physically present for can be transferred to Pence because protocols already exist for dealing with presidents needing hospitalization. That means whatever risk he's imposing on everyone else in the White House - however remote (and when it comes to death, 0.5% is actually quite high) - is unnecessary, and motivated purely by his narcissistic compulsion to pretend he's not sick.
