So I wake this morning to see the president claims to have COVID. This has not been confirmed publicly by any independent medical professional associated with the health of the POTUS, but let’s just assume for now that this is true, because he has been so truthful and has never lied to the American Public so there is no reason to doubt him.
If true, then I certainly hope he and the first lady get well and are not too severely impacted as I don't want to wish ill on anyone. If this winds up being false and another distraction, then shame on him. Unfortunately he has proven that there is no depth that he is willing to sink (slink) in order to keep the media spotlight shining on him.
Update: The presidents personal physician does confirm the diagnosis, but I have no reason to believe this person is also not tainted, like anyone else in this administration, who is going to say whatever the president tells him to say. There is no credibility left or rather I have no shits left to give.
Not surprisingly, I have seen the left gleefully and perhaps ironically laughing at this news. Now I can completely understand why they may be reacting this way. The president has repeatedly told us that this is not a big deal, in spite of more than 200,000 Americans dead. He withheld information from the public “to prevent panic” in March. He has not built a cohesive national strategy to combat the virus allowing states to go it alone causing this to continue to spiral with no apparent end. He has discouraged the wearing of masks and politicized the science during a global pandemic. He has downplayed the severity, even ignoring hoping it will go away, while also not lifting a finger to show an ounce of empathy for those 7.3 million who have been sick or shown any sympathy to the families of those who have died. Finally, he failed to inform the Biden team of these results prior to the public statement. This simply scratches the surfaces of why they are reveling in this news significantly piercing his armor for the first time. So yes, there is a karma component to the news this morning and honestly it is rightfully deserved.
Now on the flip side, I am seeing my friends on the right, clutching their pearls shocked that the left would so disrespect the POTUS, and wondering how such a thing can occur. To those I ask, what reaction be if the shoe were on the other foot? What would you do if this were Obama or Hilary or Biden? 90% of you would be laughing your asses off calling them snowflakes, saying they deserve it, without seeing one ounce of your hypocrisy in your statements. And if memory serves, he blasted Hilary in 2016 when she had the pneumonia in October, and claimed she was too feeble to be president, which you all bought into hook, line and sinker.
The right says you would like to see compassion, but show me where he has shown any compassion for anyone who does not support him? You say you are appalled by the hate spewing from the left, but yet you say liberalism is a disease and are mentally disabled for supporting the left. You blame the main stream media (MSM) saying its fake news, but simultaneously spew different lies perpetuated by the propaganda wing of the right. The left has been told they are unpatriotic because they don’t masturbate over the flag. The left has been told to leave the country if they don't like what is happening. How would you like the left react to this? Do you expect them to simply roll over and simply obey like a dog?
The hate goes both ways and until both sides stop doing it the chasm will only continue to grow.
The fact is this president has done nothing to unify the country, he has not made any effort to make those on the left to feel any part of this country. THAT IS HIS JOB!! They have been treated by this president as if they are a bug under the shoe of capitalism that deserves to be squished.
Oh I know, the right will say Obama was the worst president ever. he was coming after our guns, he was invading Texas, he gave everything away to Iran, blah, blah, blah. None of which happened. These were all fear tactics used and shockingly, none of them came to fruition.
For the record, Biden is not a patsy about to drop dead, allowing Harris to be president. The left is not controlled by Bernie Sanders and AOC, and a Biden presidency will not usher a new age of socialism into the United States. Please read up on Socialism and Fascism, checking your bias at the door, and decide for yourself which one we are actually closer to right now.
I am fucking sick of the division, the inability to empathize with the other side, the ease of spewing hate while shredding and eviscerating the other side on social media, without any consideration of who benefits and who profits by the every growing division they are perpetuating
Color me skeptical but until a real independent medical professional confirms this diagnosis, I am going to assume this is more a political strategy than medical crisis
