Isn\u2019t it just ironic that President Trump\u2019s greatest accomplishment in his four years of Presidency was something his followers considered folly? It\u2019s a symptom that government has become farce. Theater performs farce. Comedians convey farce. Maybe only government can deliver farce. It should not be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think back to when President Trump gets COVID dropped in his lap, like a baby\u2019s diaper spill. He hadn\u2019t drained the swamp; he hadn\u2019t built the wall and now this \u201cChina Virus\u201d had his shorts in a twist. Heck, he even got it. And he survived! Old obese man survives the China virus! Maybe we shouldn\u2019t fear this bug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then we get Operation Warp Speed. It\u2019s not shining light into all our orifices, it\u2019s not drinking fish disinfectant, it\u2019s not ivermectin for all. It\u2019s dumping tons of money into biofirms that have been sitting on mRNA vaccine technology and getting them to ramp up. They had the capability to make vaccines quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were seeing deaths mount. Vaccines might help. Give them money to work faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vaccine went from innovation to mass production and mass delivery in a matter of months. This had never been done before. This was very new ground. All under the watch of a President whose followers hated the swamp. And huge government funding to Big Pharma is the just filling the swamp, not draining it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could all see his discomfort. The press conferences where he waffled, his allusion to possible other treatments. He could not pull off the farce in the face of the mounting deaths. But he tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folks still today hold to the alternative reality. If only everyone had taken ivermectin for a few years, nobody would have died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But millions did. Even with the vaccine, even with ivermectin, even with mask mandates and state mandated shutdowns. Farce is funny when we can all laugh. It\u2019s not humorous in the funeral parlor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is unassailable evidence that vaccines saved lives. A study matching COVID morbidity with vaccine rates is clear. But such evidence does not make converts of the followers. They still line up to cheer for the indicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why would he agree to send all those billions to pharmaceutical companies if he didn\u2019t believe in the immunization? Was he bought out? Did Donald get corrupted? Were his advisors pulling his strings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth, we\u2019ll never know. Maybe he\u2019s just as dishonest as his Fox News shills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the truth is, we didn\u2019t escape the virus. Over a million Americans died from COVID. Over 5000 Idahoans died from the virus. Neither the immunization nor ivermectin saved us. We all went our own way. Theater is supposed to bring us all together in the play. Farce, comedy, tragedy, we should all believe the story before us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, as a nation, we don\u2019t do well when farce is the medium. The tragedy of Pearl Harbor united us. The comedy of Bill Clinton\u2019s peccadillo amused us. But COVID was not sold to us as a tragedy. We got the message from our President it was a farce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farce makes fun of the prevalent truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the deaths came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the truth has ambiguity, farce has some leverage. Deaths are too solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is truly amazing is that President Trump\u2019s followers haven\u2019t abandoned him for his Warp Speed action. He acknowledged the threat, he acted with decisive action that got immunizations out there for all who wanted. But his followers wanted farce, not tragic death. They didn\u2019t believe the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now they haven\u2019t rejected his billions to Big Pharma as a sellout. Like they don\u2019t believe his pay off to Stormy was an illegal business deal. This guy has been making business deals to line his own pockets from adolescence. And many people still pay to see his farce. That\u2019s the sad joke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
