As I watch the number of covid-19 cases and deaths spiral out of control, I wonder if I can find any bright spots. Well, eureka! I thought of two.

The first: Despite President Trump’s apparent lack of intellect and moral fiber in dealing with the ongoing crisis, his golf game must certainly have improved. I guess the most important number to him is par 72.

The second: Trump’s favorite dictator, Vladimir Putin, is going to receive a most cherished Christmas gift from 45, an America that the Donald has managed to divide more than the Vietnam era.

As any reader of the above can assume, I am not a fan of 45. Therefore I would like to praise the 81 million who refuse to partake in the DJT version of the Jim Jones Kool-Aid.
