The positivity of Donald and Melania The coronavirus adds a dramatic theatrical blow to the script of an election campaign that Trump has turned into a kind of reality show: exciting for millions of his fans, bleak and anguished for much of the United States. But, unlike other parts of the plot, this is a fact beyond his control that, beyond the health consequences of the infection and the impact it will have on his freedom of movement as president in the election campaign, marks Another turning point: perhaps the final one: in the candidates’ battle to change the narrative of the 2020 presidential elections in their favor.
A dramatic event, the disappearance of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, had allowed Trump to divert the attention of citizen-voters from the underestimation and mismanagement of the Covid-19 emergency to the ethical values of conservatives that the president promises to defend with a quote. . intended to move the Supreme Court of the United States further to the right. Donald’s positive swab changes everything again not only because it draws attention to a disease that many on the right have underestimated or even denied (there are still those who think the epidemic was invented to damage Trump’s re-election), but also because the clearest proof of the dire consequences of the reckless, even irresponsible, attitude of the president. Mistakes cost many Americans dearly, first and now, too: if only he had worn the mask and imposed it on his collaborators, as it happens in foreign ministries around the world, today he should not wonder if his it will remain a case of asymptomatic coronavirus and if the disease will have more serious consequences.
What will really happen in the field? In theory Trump will have to suspend all public activities for at least two weeks and, since he is not one to back down and, on the contrary, adversities make him even more aggressive, an even more intense digital communication can be expected. (tweet and TV). and lasts, if health conditions permitor. So the unpredictable man loves spectacular twists: in case of an asymptomatic course, he could try something, even if he certainly does not want to show himself in public in vulnerable conditions. This, for him, is the biggest obstacle: months of effort to turn the Covid drama into comedy: the virus that would quickly vanish into thin air, the confrontations with scientists, the sarcasm towards the wearer of the mask and, above all, , the myth of the intrepid leader who feels invulnerable, like the general of Apocalypse Now that he walks while the bullets hiss around him, devastated: the virus not only does not fade as predicted a few days ago, but it reaches the heart of the White House: That piece of polarized America that has so far rejected the mask considered just an ideological fetish will have to change its mind. It’s hard to say how much all of this will weigh on the vote, but the blow for Trump. For him, even a bitter irony: for months he showed that he did not trust scientists, but now he is forced to depend on the swabs of Dr. Fauci.
