the Walnut Diary

The more TV exposure Donald Trump gets during the Covid-19 crisis, the more obvious his mental deterioration becomes.  Yesterday’s on-camera speculation on ways to inject ultra violet light and disinfectants into the body will no doubt become enshrined in history along with Nero’s fiddling and Catherine of Russia’s fondness for horses.  At the moment the larger media outlets are apparently trying to avoid coverage of the gaffe, though one alphabet soup network (MSNBC?) is giving it full play.

If this intellectual prostration of the President doesn’t affect the stock market today, it is because Donald Trump is President in name only;  his ship’s wheel is no longer connected to the rudder.
