Day 31


This shouldn't be difficult but we here at WDW unironically wish Donald John Trump a speedy recovery from the coronavirus.

This virus can be traumatic and painful, and our soul still hasn't been corrupted to the point where we wish pain and suffering on others, even those we deeply disagree with.  This virus can't humble and humiliate our so-called "president" - that's our job!

We can appreciate the irony that the man who called the virus a "liberal hoax" and who discouraged his supporters from wearing face masks that would have limited the spread of the virus came down himself with the very flu that he was denying.  We can laugh that his Supreme Court nomination announcement, which could very well result in the end of the Affordable Care Act and deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance, became a super-spreader event in its own right that so far has infected the First Lady, at least three Senators, several aides and advisors, and an unknown number of caterers, servers, security personnel, and others.

But we don't want to see him coughing up blood, put into a medially-induced coma and hooked up to a respirator, or unable to function above the very low bar he's already set for mental acuity.  That would be cruel and inhumane to wish for, and reduce us to his level of bullying and callousness.

But we will get this jab in - the man couldn't protect his own wife from the virus, he couldn't even protect himself.  Why would anyone trust him to protect them in this time of global pandemic to keep them safe?
