With President Donald Trump’s approval rating continuing to burn away to ash, and with the country continuing its downward spiral into chaotic mayhem, things are certainly looking grim for the despot-wannabe in chief. Even with the few cultist supporters he has left, it’s hard to imagine how he could ever expect to win the next four years against Joe Biden, who, by the way, is still wiping the floor with his orange toupee in the polls.
For months after CDC officials declared wearing masks would help tremendously in defeating coronavirus, Trump still refused to wear one, sending the message to all of his worshippers that wearing a mask was unnecessary. Not until recently, likely after one of his associates mistakenly handed him a copy of the real poll data instead of the one drawn in crayon he had been reading, did he whiplash on his decision to show himself on camera with a mask on. Will it be enough to change the stances of the anti-maskers in their war to defeat “tyranny?” Will they instead turn on their beloved god, Trump, and hurt his chances to win even further? Or will this merely confuse their tiny minds to such an extent they’ll slump to the floor in their houses and drool all over themselves until the pandemic passes? Any one of the three would be beneficial.
I would say it’s the first good step he made towards acting like a grown adult, but if he had only put on a mask beforehand, this whole anti-mask movement may not have even started in the first place. Maybe I’m giving him too much credit in assuming he possesses the cognitive abilities to understand his followers are little more than impressionable children, who soak up his every word and action like sponges. This is, after all, the man who bragged about passing an easy cognitive test meant to determine whether a person has the most basic level of cognitive skill, to determine if they are capable of functioning as a human being without soiling themselves on a public bus or something. Congratulations, Trump, we now know you’re likely able to tie your own shoelaces.
What an achievement.
