“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.” Oscar Wilde
Trump’s desire for his lost 15 minutes of fame, and reality show ratings which the Coronavirus had the audacity to remove and ravage, leaving his ego, scarred and singed is to be returned, immediately, no matter the consequences to others, as TRUMP is now demanding that 1000 graduating cadets from West Point, (who have been home quarantined) return to campus in one large group, so Trump can pretend that HE has conquered the virus, and is a War Time Commander-In-Chief! It matters not that these men and women will interact with the public, the airport, the flight crew, the West Point Instructors, Commissioned Officers, as well as the citizens of the town of Highlands, New York, in which West Point is located. Learning nothing, or perhaps the better phrase, is GIVING NOT ONE SHIT, from the contagious environment of the USS Theodore Roosevelt’s 3000 sailors, plight with sharing the spread of COVID-19, Trump and his compadre of Secretaries of all of the Military are all in for letting the Troops suffer from Trump’s own inadequacies of self-esteem and narcissism. Standing by silently is the Congress, who may not be able to intervene, but should certainly making the LOUDEST NOISE they can. And joining them should be each and every group identifying themselves as a Veterans Advocacy Organization! Show and tell, for Trump to pretend he is anything but a monster, and t tell the rest of this nation, science and medicine mean nothing when it comes to Trump’s attempts to be Re-Elected!
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
The arrogance in which Pence paraded into The Mayo Clinic, presenting himself as the EVERYMAN, walking into what America once regarded as a bastion of SCIENCE/MEDICINE/INTELLIGENCE/PRESTIGE, without wearing any PPE, was nothing but a setback for the reputation of a place where I thought truth mattered! There IS blame for this, and I AM angry, at both Pence, and the Mayo Clinic, for presenting a good case to the stupid, and those spoiled Americans who cannot go one more day trying to help abate the COVID-19, that FUCK the MASK or the SOCIAL DISTANCING, screw the CDC or NIH, just watch as one of the TRUMP SWAMP CREATURES, become the arbiter of handling a Pandemic. And no matter who the hell Pence is, the Mayo Clinic had a bigger responsibility to its patients, its staff and the public, to say THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. And Pence’s tepid response that he has been and will be tested, and that his entourage of ass lickers have also been tested and will be tested; so no mask, no matter! The visuals were everything The Trump Re-Election Team could hope for, demonstrating that the Coronavirus is just the mere flu, an idea so exaggerated by the Democrats, a hoax by the Liberals. The Mayo Clinic may have been forced into this plot this Trump propaganda scheme, but either before or immediately after the Clinic should have spoken on live TV telling American, what you will see or just witnessed is wrong, we ignored our own proactive initiatives, and were compromised by the need for a show and tell of the Trump Administration which still has no idea how to mitigate COVID-19
Selfishness is one of the more common faces of pride. 'How everything affects me' is the center of all that matters - self-conceit, self-pity, worldly self-fulfillment, self-gratification, and self-seeking. You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible! Ezra Taft Benson/ And there was Governor DeSantis sitting, Governor of Florida, never accepting the idea that the COVID-19 was anything more than the flu, telling the world his state was God’s waiting room for death, posing with Trump. Trump all smiles so encouraged that Florida can now open its flood gates to Coronavirus, but more importantly permit Trump to feel triumphant that he has killed the COVID!
