The inverse relationship of the health of Trump and our Nation

From a purely social science perspective, I see a dichotomy unfolding.

If Trump is asymptomatic or has a mild case, it will reinforce the message that Covid is nothing to worry about and the Country will accelerate into a disastrous fall that is primed for a widespread outbreak and more death.

If Trump has a bad case or succumbs, it might be a reality check that forces his minions to take this shit seriously and could really bend the curve towards fewer cases and deaths nationwide.

No matter how I look at it, I see this inverse relationship. The better he does, the worse we do.

His maskless mandate is now exposed for the idiocy that it always was.

I don't think that is really the question.

Many of his supporters don't wear masks because they believe it isn't serious or that masks don't help. Him being a healthy positive will just reinforce that attitude.

He profited economically a lot off of the tests and PPE while we died. He's trying to profiteer off white nationalists pretending to be anti-fa and him spreading the lies, he wants to profiteer off of ending clean air policies. In everything he does, the better he does, the worse the American people do because it's about helping himself and hurting us. He truly does hate us for calling him out on his profiteering, and the attempted gutting of America.
