I didn’t listen. I did tune in. But I saw an audience full of people sitting close together and not wearing masks. I saw the POTUS with a spotlight shining on him as if he were an awesome superstar and he was laughing and grinning so much that the lights were bouncing off of his pearly whites
Then I thought about all the people dying from COVID-19 and remembered that the POTUS casually remarked at another rally that he told “his people” to slow down the testing. “His people”???? Are they different from “We the People”?
I thought about protesters against police brutality that have taken to the streets, regardless of the possibility of the very real possibility of being infected because … Hey! Choose! Catch a virus and die OR get choked to death, get shot in the back 7 times, or get shot while sleeping in your bed 8 times? Choose what? What choice? They don’t see the difference.
I thought to myself? He’s the President. How can he laugh at a time like this? Does he really not understand the gravity of the situation? Does he even care?
So I turned the channel and tuned him out! I don’t think I missed out on anything historic other than the fact that he accepted the presidential nomination directly from the White House. WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE!!
Eh! What do I know? I’m just an AAC (average American citizen).
God Bless America. God Save America.
