A Positively Unique Day

Donald Chrump v. Walter Reed

October 3, 2020

The day before we were told that Donald Chrump had tested positive for his pet virus, he told a live, mostly maskless, non-socially-distant audience, “For years, you had a president who apologized for America. Now you have a president who is standing up for America and standing up for the great people of Minnesota. But if we don’t win, I’m never calling you great again.” You are never calling them great again? Verrrrrrry interesting, but stupid.

Hours before allegedly testing positive for COVID-19, Chump once again lied to a virtual audience that “end of the pandemic is in sight.” We may never know if he already knew he had been infected when he shared his latest lie. We do know that Chrump is responsible for the deaths of three times as many people as the number of people who helped him carry Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in 2016.

“Everything is under control.”

Many people are saying that it is important for Chrump to show he is still physically capable of managing the chain of command because, if an adversary learns that the chain of command has been jeopardized, they may try to take advantage. Huh? The chain of command in this country, particularly the very tippy, tippy top of the command chain has been the weakest link by far, since January 20, 2017. The possibility of that historically weak link being removed, temporarily or otherwise, should put the world on notice that America might be better off that we’ve been in years.

The problem is that Chrump has been running his White House operation like he has run his business throughout his life – beside it being mostly into the ground – mostly by himself. Chrump never trusted anyone enough, so he tended to do everything himself, because, you know, he knows more about everything than anyone.* Ergo, there is really not much federal government infrastructure; mostly a bunch of sickophants installed without congressional approval as acting-whatevers, i.e., temps. And, given Chrump’s hiring track record, staggeringly unqualified for whatever post they hold.

*COVID Donny sure knew how to catch the Chrump virus. He has worked harder than anyone, with the exception of a few college students with single-digit IQs who had COVID parties meant to infect groups of people, to get infected. Wouldn’t wear a mask, wouldn’t stay the fuck away from people. The real surprise is that it took so long. It is after all, his virus.

All of this assumes that Chrump’s illness is not an October surprise hoax. We’ll have to wait and see.

I. Mangrey reporting. I’ve got blisters on my fingers.
