Yavin4's JournalTrump could win the presidency because Americans are not as good as we think.
Since March 10th, I have been in my apartment every single day except for the 4 times that I went out for groceries. It's so quiet here on the Upper East side of NYC, you can hear birds chirp.
I live near a lot of hospitals and the sirens blare at all times of the day and night. Our healthcare workers are getting infected, dying, stressed out, scared, exhausted, and above all, brave.
Our president uses his daily press conferences to promote himself and score settle with his "enemies". He's not even trying to lead. He just wants a positive narrative that he, and the right wing media, can spin.
Schools are closed. People are being laid off. We're looking at depression-era UE numbers. The world's economy has stopped cold. Life as we know it has stopped cold.
All of this is happening in Trump's America. Yet, it's big news that an average comic with a huge YouTube following will vote for Trump over Biden. What's more troubling are the comments underneath that "endorsement". There are folks in agreement with this. How bad do things have to get for people to not vote for Trump no matter who his opponent is? A fucking ham sandwich would be better than Trump.
But this has gotten me to thinking. Trump could win because there are a lot of horrible people in this country:
There are "narcissists" who only care about themselves and are blind to the sacrifices of others. They don't care about what's happening to our healthcare workers.
There are "arsonists" who just want society to burn. They love the chaos and want more of it. Their lives are meaningless so why should they care about anyone else.
There are "racists" who think that Trump will always protect White people when push comes to shove.
There are "sexists" who are mad that women have choices in their lives. They want these women punished, and Trump will do that for them.
There are the "greedy" who think that Trump will protect their wealth.
There are enough of these people, and others, to put Trump back into the White House. The Democrats have chosen a mainstream, traditional candidate as their nominee. Better yet, they've chosen a real human being. A good man. A decent man. If Biden loses, then that says more about us as Americans than it does about him or Trump.

Pump and dump on the market is in full swing
Pump up the market for a few days. Get positive headlines out there like, "hey, the market has bottomed!", "invest your stimulus checks!", etc. See a big spike in prices. Get people back in at the highs, and then, slowly sell off.
Rinse and repeat.

It should go to Stannis Baratheon.
In these times, a good leader would ask just one simple question to his advisors.
"What do I have to do to save as many lives as possible and prevent people from getting this disease?"
All decisions and new policies would grow from the answers to that question. Each day from the podium in the White would be updates on those answers. This is how you would know that you have a good leader.
What we're getting instead is a man who only cares about his re-election chances, his approval ratings, and spinning a favorable narrative that the right wing media can run with.
The media has to stop covering Trump's press conferences entirely.
Give the air time to the state governors some of whom are actually giving out important information and safety tips.
Trump is desperately grasping for a narrative, any narrative that makes him look like a hero.
