I feel like this is just like the beginning phases of Covid.

He keeps telling us things will be OK and over soon. We don’t hear from anyone else. And we all know how that ended.

This is Trump's magical thinking.

It may have its roots in his childhood minister, Norman Vincent Peale and his "positive theology".

Trump often rages when things do not go his way.

and it magically becomes true. I don't think this is what Norman Vincent Peale had in mind, but we all know what kind of student he was.

He never bothers with us, though. He has Karoline Leavett to “handle” it for him. It could be it’s own sitcom: “Leave it to Leavett.”

And on Friday the 13th six years ago, at least around where I live, that's the day the bottom dropped out. What followed was school closings, lockdowns, death counts, and the beginning what of came to be known as doomscrolling. So I'm staring at my calendar now and wondering, "What the hell's going to happen this time?"
