A faithful reader of Time Magazine & Macleans since I was nine, I certainly remember the impact of the infamous “Daisy Ad” of the 1964 presidential election campaign.
I didn’t see it of course - basically nobody did, at the time - but we all read about it and saw the stills and our mind’s eye filled in the chilling details.
The American adults among us then rushed out and kicked the Republicans to the curb in a way rarely seen before or since.
So deja vu time : Sunday night Trump was all in for financial stimulus to save the cratering US (& global) economy from Covid.
Tuesday, after the Federal chair got a lot of airtime AGREEING with Trump, Trump said no way - no stimulus.
Late that night, after his meds were adjusted, he was back pulling petals off the daisy, this time deciding,’ yes we do need a stimulus check, like, yesterday !!!’
Now I realize all this to and thro back and forth is only the Dexamethasone talking but frankly it scares me.
I don’t like Mike Pence’s politics but I’d rather he was back in Washington, in isolation, but with the military aide carrying the nuclear football, safely beside him —— and not Trump...
