WASHINGTON: The majority of American voters may have said “You’re fired!” – his signature line from his reality TV show – how. But Trumpism, a crude and uneven ideology that combines elements of racism, bigotry, white wrong, narcissism, and a love of conspiracy theories with a reckless disregard for facts and science, is going nowhere. With some 70 million voters backing him, America’s most divisive and polarizing president is expected to remain in public view and try to come back fanning the flames of racial and social conflict while insisting that he has been ripped off. the victory.
However, a more pressing concern is Trump’s immediate legacy of throwing the country into a pandemic crisis with a reckless disregard for basic protocols like social distancing and mask mandates. On Saturday, the man described by commentators as “like an obese turtle flailing in the blazing sun as he realizes his time is up,” seemed oblivious to the fact that the country’s coronavirus count surpassed 100,000 in each of the last four. days, with over 1000 deaths each day, while playing golf in mild fall weather.
Trump’s disastrous handling of the crisis in the White House was echoed once again on Friday when the president’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, a representative of Trump’s base of ignorance and contempt for science, tested positive for coronavirus. Meadows, a former congressman, scorned the masks and even mocked White House reporters for wearing them, once he walked away from a press crowd when a journalist asked him to wear a mask if he was going to speak to them closely.
The ineptitude of the Trump White House, ridiculous if it did not cause so much misery across America, has resulted in 45 coronavirus cases within the presidential compound, with Trump and his immediate family, and several aides contracting the virus. While Trump, with the best (and free) health care in the world, dismissed the virus as insignificant, millions of Americans trapped in a terrible health care system suffered and died, about 237,000 deaths at the latest count.
Many of those affected by the virus were older people and minorities, whose studies show that they are more vulnerable. They were among the more than 75 million Americans who in the US presidential election told Trump: You are fired!
