Trump’s laissez-faire approach to the coronavirus pandemic has been an unmitigated disaster (“stay calm everyone, and it will go away” (below on the right) – accompanied with no testing).
As a result, the hashtag #TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER is trending on Twitter. This tweet from @KatWeissang (below on the left) caught my eye, and I couldn’t agree more with its sentiment:
I predict dancing in the streets once we vote Trump out, and the elation we will all experience is reflected in Emmett Lee Dickinson’s visionary poem “Glee – The great storm is over” (below on the left). Dickinson’s poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem with the same opening line (below on the right).
