NEW for @NYMag: “At the best of times, Trumpworld operates with all the strategic direction of a chicken with its head cut off. Right now, they’re operating like a chicken with its head cut off, lit on fire, and thrown off a cliff.” — a senior GOP official https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/10/trump-infects-america.html
Trump has never taken this pandemic seriously, not as his advisers warned him that he should, not as bodies piled up in hospitals in his hometown, not as the death ticker recorded hundreds, then thousands, and then hundreds of thousands of dead Americans. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/10/trump-infects-america.html
For months, the Biden campaign has been preoccupied with protecting him from exposure to the virus, worried not only for his health, but about the optics if he were to get sick, which would confirm the attacks Trump has hurled at him for being old & weak. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/10/trump-infects-america.html
But the Biden campaign could not protect the Democratic nominee from exposure to Donald Trump. Not completely. Trump has put not only himself at risk, but the integrity of our election and our democracy at risk, too. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/10/trump-infects-america.html
With 32 days left before Election Day, whatever confidence remained in our system has been further undermined by this colossal display of idiocy. The Republic collapses not with a bang but with a million stupid decisions by the most powerful people. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/10/trump-infects-america.html
