Taking Leave of One's Senses

Yesterday a few thousand of Donald Trump’s supporters came to Washington DC to revel in Trump’s lies and (without offering any evidence) to claim that the election had been stolen from their Messiah. 

They were even treated to an apparition when Trump performed a drive by with his motorcade. 

And in a particularly fascinating and hilarious departure from reality Trump spokeswoman, Kayleigh McEnany, served-up her own silly departure from reality.… 

More than one MILLION marchers for President @realDonaldTrump descend on the swamp in support - she tweeted.

Exaggerating the crowd size by a factor of more than 200 - I guess she cannot count either. 

 

 

 

But I digress. 

This past week the Covid death toll rose above more than 1000 lives of our fellow countrymen each and every day.  Think about that - more than a thousand Covid deaths every day.

In only one week more than 750,000 newly diagnosed cases were added to the soaring total. 

The economy is floundering like a ship on treacherous shoals with bankruptcies breaking new records every week, unemployment claims still at historic record levels and evictions being readied just in-time for a winter of homelessness. 

In the face of all of this will you find Donald Trump in attendance in a house of worship this morning praying for guidance to lead our country out of this maelstrom?

Nay nay - I think not.

Likely no different than yesterday he will be golfing at Trump National in Virginia. 

Seriously, to my trusted and loved friends and family that are Trump supporters, do you accept this as excellence in leadership?

Edit to add:  Yes.  A day of golf.
