THE SYMBOLISM AND MEANING OF DONALD TRUMP'S COVID-19 INFECTION AND HOSPITALIZATION

 

Ozodi Thomas Osuji

 

      The compendium of Donald Trump's narcissistic cum antisocial personality disposed him to behave as if he is invincible; he refused to wear face masks and do social distancing in response to the corona virus. This was, of course, mere bravado and braggadocio. It was a fiction of the all-powerful white man that nature has no effect on.

       His white (and deluded African) followers want to seem invincible so they admired his seeming mythical figure; his seeming overcoming nature; he represents white delusion of invincibility; they believed that they were not going to die, and nothing could harm them.

      Now that he and his wife and some White House staff, the deniers of reality, have contracted corona virus, he has shown his followers that he is a tiger with feet of clay; he is just another human being who, in time, will die despite pretending to be supernatural in his powers; he is really a buffoon and clown.

     His clownish show was for a while quite entertaining, but nature is putting a stop to it and returning folks to reality. The reality of human powerlessness; we can only pretend to be powerful, but we are always weak.

     His followers will be dismayed by his vulnerability; they will initially deny it and say that it is "Democrats hoax, fake news and lies" (I can already see the drug addled brain called Rush Limbaugh saying that).

      Be that as it may, the guy is now at Walter Reed Military Medical Hospital at Bethesda, Maryland, near Washington DC.

      The myth of his invincibility is shattered and his followers just have to go find another fictional mythical person to give them the illusory sense of invincibility they crave and continue living in  their world of fantasy or accept the reality that they and all of us are human beings and live humbly and seek ways to get along with blacks and Latinos and quit pretending to be different or superior human beings, for they aren't; they are just animals like the rest of us; they will die and their bodies rot and smell like feces. 

      This is the symbolism and meaning of Trump's contraction of the covid-19 virus and his hospitalization.

MICHAEL MOORE SPEAKS MY MIND

So Now Trump Has Earned Your Trust? A Note of Covid Caution from Michael Moore....

There is one absolute truth about Trump: He is a consistent, absolute, unrelenting, fearless, and professional liar. A serial liar. A factually proven liar. How many lies now has the Washington Post proven in these four years? 25,000? A lie at least twice during every waking hour? Think of all the bad people you've known in your life. Even the worst ones you couldn't say that about. 

So why on earth would we believe him today? Has he earned your trust now? No. Yet, we're decent enough to not want him to be sick, to wish him well, and maybe just this once give him the benefit of the doubt because why would he lie about this?

That's not the question. The question we — and yes, I mean you, too, the media — the only question we really need to be asking is this: Why would Trump all of a sudden just start telling the truth?

All of you, my friends, have been saying for four years, "Trump's a liar! Trump is a liar!" Why would you believe him now? He very well may have COVID-19. In fact, let's assume he does. Of course he has it! Does that make him not Trump? I'm certain Mussolini came down with the flu one time. Pinochet and Franco would catch a cold every now and then. Margaret Thatcher must have had a migraine or two. None of them suddenly became nice or did good things - or started telling the truth - because they got sick. Jesse Helms with a runny nose was still Jesse Helms. 

But Trump has a history of lying about his health. His longtime New York doctor, Dr. Bornstein, admitted a few years ago that Trump dictated his perfect "doctor's letter" during the 2016 campaign. Then there was the White House doctor who said Trump could live "200 years!" What about his lying about that emergency trip to Walter Reade "to complete his physical?" Trump also has a history of lying about his opponents' health (like when Hillary fell ill at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony, or what he's now been saying about Biden's health).

So we must be skeptical. We must always remain skeptical when it comes to Trump. He may have it. But it's also possible he's lying. That's just a fact. 

But why would he lie about this? What would he have to gain? I mean, it looks bad that he's called it a hoax for seven months, and he totally mismanaged the government response  — and now he has it? Doesn't it look terrible that he's spent months downplaying wearing masks, dismissing social distancing, holding large rallies filled with elderly, at-risk supporters and even killing his own supporters like Herman Cain? And doesn't this go against his brand of always projecting (and exaggerating) his own strength, his health, his genetics, his virility? Yes. This is all true. He would not want to admit he's come down with a hoax. 

But — he's losing the election. And he knows it. It's not 2016. He was hated in 2016, but he's hated even more now. Millions of Americans are ON FIRE and on the verge of serving him up a major league ass-whooping and a record landslide defeat.

So he needs - badly - to totally change the conversation about this campaign. 

And he just has. 

Democrats, liberals, the media and others have always been wrong to simply treat him as a buffoon and a dummy and a jackass. Yes, he is all those things. But he's also canny. He's clever. He outfoxed Comey. He outfoxed Mueller. He outfoxed 20 Republicans in the GOP primary and then did the same to the Democrats, winning the White House despite receiving fewer votes than his opponent.. He's an evil genius and I raise the possibility of him lying about having COVID-19 to prepare us and counteract his game.  He knows being sick tends to gain one sympathy. He's not above weaponizing this.. 

He's been lying about how soon a vaccine will be ready. What better way to hammer home that lie then by directing a saga in the final weeks before the election that culminates in the release of this "vaccine." 

The NY Times tax story was horrible for him. As was The Atlantic story about him calling American troops losers and suckers. There are a dozen more of these stories coming in October. Just last night, The New Yorker detailed how his campaign finance director (and Don Jr's girlfriend) was fired from Fox News for....well...behaving like a typical Fox News host by sexually harassing her assistant and forcing Fox to pay a $4 million settlement to that assistant due to her behavior. And also, last night, there was CNN playing an audio recording of Melania talking shit about children separated from their parents at the border — AND talking shit about Christmas. Christmas! 

These stories are about to be a daily occurrence. However, they may get less airtime and be less damaging since Trump and FLOTUS are now "sick" and supposed to be in our thoughts and prayers. 

But most dangerously, HE MAY USE THIS TO PUSH FOR DELAYING/POSTPONING THE ELECTION.  The constitution does not allow for this, but he doesn't give a f*ck about the constitution. He and his thug Attorney General Barr have no shame and will stop at nothing to stay in power. He may even use this as an excuse for losing.

Then there's this:

He may use his Covid as a pretext to drop out of the race and move Pence to the top of the ticket. Pence would temporarily become President, and then Pence could pre-emptively pardon Trump for all of his crimes. 

Again, though, he may have COVID. He probably does. But never, ever, ever take him at his word and never, ever, ever underestimate his survival skills or the depths of his deception or his evil. 

What can YOU do today? Make your plan to vote and stick to it. Question everything. And if you and I are finally convinced he has it, do NOT sit silent as he schemes how to use this illness for his benefit. 

Finally, on a personal note: Stay alive Mr. President. Your exit from public life must happen in the right and decent way. You have many years to live. You have a child to raise. Grandchildren who need you. A base that loves you. And the families of nearly the quarter-million dead who might be alive today had you done your job, had you cared, had you not played politics with people's lives. Over 200,000 lost souls — and YOU KNEW! You told Woodward in February it was a plague.  200,000 dead because of decisions you made, because you denigrated science and ignored the doctors.. 

I'm certain you're listening to them now. 

Covid must not remove you. That's our job. With a pen and a ballot.

There is nothing 'thoughts and prayers' (whatever that is) will accomplish..

Just follow CDC guidelines and other scientists proven ideas.

For DT it has been unmitigated disaster- From COVID19 is a hoax, rejection of PPE to deaths of over 200K, to him now in the statistics.

That is real 'shithole' that will take US a long time to climb out of.
