Narcissist President Donald Trump has the COVID-19 virus.
That little piece of pre-morning news popped up three days prior to this article’s posting.
On October 2nd, Narcissist Trump was taken to Walter Reed hospital in his taxpayer-funded helicopter and checked into his luxurious taxpayer-funded medial suite that resembles more like a luxury hotel suite than a hospital room.
The con artist who tried to con the world that the global viral pandemic was “a hoax” that affects “virtually nobody” and would “magically go away”; the scam-king who mocked masks and people who wore them; found out the hard way the he could not scam a virus. He could not convince it that it was “a hoax”, and it certainly did not “magically go away”.
I guess that also makes Narcissist Trump a “virtual nobody”.
That said, I have a few thoughts on the matter.
I Do Not Wish Him Misery Or Worse – There have been plenty of people who oppose Narcissist Trump or have criticized him publicly or whom are on his enemies list that have felt compelled to say that they don’t want him to suffer greatly from the coronavirus or that he die from it. And, yes, this commentator is one of them.
Let’s get brutally honest here... I do not want Narcissist President Donald Trump to be seriously ill or to die from either the COVID-19 global pandemic or from the effect brought about from contracting the virus. I wish him a speedy recovery.
I say this because I want him healthy so he can be defeated in the November Election.
I do not want him to use coronavirus to get so much as one sympathy vote. Not after the months of ineptitude and incompetence and all the science-denying and all of the mask-hating and the negligent genocidal conduct from him and his hench-people. Not after all of the “hoax” rhetoric and the talk about it magically going away. Not after the snake-oil cure-alls that he touted in front of cameras. Not after the ever-increasing number of people who have gotten sick and were killed from this virus because of his ineptitude. He does not deserve even one sympathy vote after all of that. Not one.
And I certainly do not want him to die! Because when it comes to rich and/or powerful criminals, death is the great absolution in both our society and in our broken and failed justice system.
Ken Lay, Enron’s CEO, was a convicted criminal for being in charge of the then-biggest corporate failure in America almost twenty years ago. Then he died. And, under Texas law, his conviction was expunged because he supposedly wasn’t able to appeal it. Let’s not forget serial predator Jeffrey Epstein. His suicide, as suspicious as it was, certainly absolved him of his criminal activities. Funny how that only seems to apply to rich and/or powerful people.
Worse, should that happen to Narcissist Trump before he is voted out, he would become a martyr to his cult followers. They would canonize him to sainthood and carry on with all of the chaos and insanity that he mastered in his name for generations to come.
Death erases all scandals, all failures, all crimes in our society, especially those that were never brought to trial. We’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead, even if they were the worst evil in life. I do not want that for the orange-skinned man-child. He does not deserve it.
COVIDiocy Knows No Bounds – When the news of Narcissist Trump’s ailment first broke, I had a fleeting hope that perhaps people would take the global pandemic more seriously now that their self-appointed messiah got it. At the very least to see more people wear masks in public, knowing that even Narcissist Trump wasn’t immune.
But... nope. The Dead Idiots Walking kept on going out without masks or practicing social distancing. So pervasive is their delusions that even their savior being stricken by coronavirus won’t sway them.
Even worse, the conspiracy idiocy is going right along with it. Now the tin-foil nutcases are claiming Narcissist Trump’s infection is either an assassination attempt directly from China or part of the Q-Anon plan to trap Hillary Clinton. Oh, and the progressives are joining in on the lunacy too, saying Narcissist Trump isn’t really sick, he’s just using it to cancel or delay or postpone the election, or else to get attention off his failure at the recent “debate”/troll-off with Joe Biden.
Listen, folks, I’ll admit that even I found it a little coincidental that the orange one would suddenly get COVID just as the dung was hitting the fan between news of his taxes and his trolling the debate and just the fact that he is simply the worst. The timing is certainly suspect. And, of course, he is first and foremost, a self-promoting clown act. He loves to put on a show. But... I’m going to err on the belief that it’s simply bad luck for him. There are too many people that were around him that are suddenly coming down with COVID as well, including his current wife, for me to think that it was staged.
Don’t Believe The Hype – Having said that I don’t believe the conspiracy theory that Narcissist Trump’s sudden COVID turn was staged, I also don’t fully believe what is being said from Narcissist Trump’s people about his condition and how bad it is or isn’t.
This is a man who is all about stagecraft. About presenting the illusion that he is the apex human being. Physically fit, even when he is obese. Mentally sound, even when he’s having trouble pronouncing words like “Yosemite”. His doctors all claim that he is in the best physical condition of his life, even while he’s chomping down on fast food and putting around on his golf cart.
He’s not the only one, either.
Remember Herman Cain? Screwed over and screwed out of the 2016 campaign, but still sucked up to Team Narcissist and ended up with a cushy cabinet position. Earlier this year he attended one of Narcissist Trump’s super-spreader rallies. No mask. No social distancing. Cain got COVID. Cain went to the hospital. All the while he was posting updates saying it wasn’t anything serious, that he was making a miraculous recovery and he’ll be back to work real soon.
Funny thing, though… the former Godfather’s Pizza owner and one-time talk radio personality still kept posting tweets even after he died. Turned out he wasn’t posting any of the messages at all. That was from his family.
Stagecraft, folks. Illusions and exaggerations to make things seem not as bad as they really are until they can’t fake it anymore.
Even Narcissist Trump’s public transit to Walter Reed was all about stagecraft. It was timed so not to upset the stock market. There was some speculation that he was wearing a portable oxygen device hidden in his jacket that was looped behind his ear and hidden behind his face mask. Whether or not it’s true, it emphasizes that he wanted to give the appearance that he was fine and strong.
Is Narcissist Trump doing great? We won’t really know. Even if or when he leaves the hospital, we will not really know just how bad it affected him. Because the illusion is what matters to him. The illusion that he is the apex human being, even when he is not.
Finally… it’s still on him – I’ve said this previously and I’ll say it here… I don’t laugh when I hear anti-mask and “COVID hoax” people end up in the hospital with COVID anymore. I get pissed. I get pissed because before that person ends up with COVID, they get to spread mistrust, lies, resentment, and general distrust that continues to make the matter worse. That certainly holds true for the Narcissist-In-Chief who is currently reaping what he and his people have been sewing for months.
COVID may have come to America from China by way of Europe, but the ignorance and negligence and ineptitude is all ours. From the man in the Oval Office down to the red-hat Kool-Aid drinkers in their pickup trucks, the failure to heed science, to pander to “hoax” talk and prop up fake cure-alls is all ours.
No, this is not karma. Karma is lazy and even more inept than an IRS run by blind sloths. Think more of a casino was not owned by Donald Trump. In that casino, the house always wins. No matter how many times you win, no matter how much you win, if you keep playing, then the house will eventually win it all back. That’s what happens when you gamble.
Narcissist President Donald Trump and his gang have played fast and loose with the pandemic for months. They gambled with every public appearance without masks. They gambled with every snake-oil treatment they promoted. They gambled with every super-spreader rally. They gambled with every statement making fun of masks, with their push to re-open the country, with their refusal to help those businesses and families still needing assistance through the collapsing economy. They gambled, and they gambled, and they gambled, and now they lost in a personal way. Whether or not they lose even further is up to them.
