Let’s see how this looks.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has been impeached by U.S. the House of Representatives; he has insulted the military high command; he lets Russian spooks get away with putting bounties on our warriors; he admits to lying to Americans about the severity of the global pandemic; he has shattered our longstanding military and diplomatic alliances; he has presided over the greatest economic collapse in our nation’s history; he called Klansmen and Nazis “very fine people”; and he has lied about damn near every issue that he has (allegedly)<\/em> confronted.<\/p>\n

And still, this individual just might — even against these horrendous odds — wiggle\/slither his way back for a second term as president of the United States.<\/p>\n

How in the world might this happen, given Trump’s astonishing record as president of the United States? I cannot put my arms around this phenomenon. I am left to speculate that just possibly Americans have been snookered by the carnival barker who promised them to deliver salvation to a nation he said in 2016 had devolved into a “total disaster.”<\/p>\n

And so here we are, four years later. The phony business executive not only has failed to deliver us from the illness that he vowed to cure all by himself<\/em>, he has worsened it.<\/p>\n

The pandemic has killed nearly 200,000 of us … so far<\/em>. Trump has defamed war heroes and prisoners of war. He scolds our international allies. He has turned us from the world’s most indispensable nation to an international laughingstock.<\/p>\n

How does he stay within spitting distance of Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee who by most objective measures should be running far away from Trump?<\/p>\n

It’s a head-scratcher that utterly boggles my mind.<\/p>\n\n
