trump’s amateurish and quixotic responses thus far to the Coronavirus disastrophe continue to contribute to the confusion in some quarters surrounding the efficacy and necessity of stay at home orders. The just-announced decision by the governor of Mississippi countermanding the stay at home orders imposed by certain jurisdictions within his state are most likely a result of the mixed messaging of our daft divider-in-chief, who just this morning called for the need for social distancing while modeling the opposite behavior once again at his latest distress conference.

While his supporters remain inexplicably faithful, the rest of the country watching this comedy of horrors as it sickeningly unfolds sees the sad spectacle for what it is—a national disgrace of unprecedented proportions or, in the president’s words, “a disgrace bigger and more beautiful than . . . I mean people are saying it’s the most perfect, really, a perfectly beautiful disgrace . . A disgrace like no one has ever seen before. Nobody ever dreamed anything like . . This could be unprecedented . . but, we’ll see . . We’ll see what happens. People are saying . . .”

Thanks for the encouraging words, mr. president, but don’t look to see me in church on Easter Sunday! I’ll be too busy ignoring your advice.
