Why would I even think it

When Don contracted covid I had a similar reaction to the 65% of the country that is not under his spell, karma is a bitch.  The irony of the president contracting the disease that he has basically cultivated and nurtured via his ignorance was classic.  Of course the second he had symptoms, our brave and courageous leader was lightning quick to suddenly embrace science, receiving extensive treatment and meds that the general public will never get, again, ironic.

So when this started, me, one of the biggest pessimists around actually had the thought briefly in my head that maybe this experience would actually knock some sense into Trump.  Possibly he would now see the error in his ways and would tone down his public disdain for medical experts and set a tone of more care and responsibility. That thought evaporated when the Very Stable Big League Genius President Tweety sent out “Don’t be afraid of Covid” from his Twitter account yesterday.  THAT, is what he learned from this.

As I said, I should know better than to think Trump would have anything resembling a deep thought or self reflection.  I internally chastised myself for thinking even for a millisecond he would perhaps admit his lying, ignorance and deliberate misleading of the public was a mistake.  Trump is the ultimate paper tiger, the classic bully.  The second something real gets in his face he runs for assistance.  His behavior is what parents grew up telling their kids to not be, yet those same children mutated into adults that suckle at the teet of this carnival performer like their lips had superglue on them.

It’s just another item to throw onto the pile of disgrace.  That disgrace pile is getting so big I heard they are going to ship it over to China for recycling.
