broadway

He's one weird fucked up dude. In our reality he vile and runs a government with gestapo funded at insane levels plus he's going to spend ~$40 billion on his concentration camps. But I agree with you. He'd give all of that up to be tops on Broadway.

Covid

I disagree with you there. I don't think Trump lost a minute - even a second - of sleep on the death toll under his watch. And what he learned from that experience is that the death toll didn't matter at all. Nobody of importance cares. And when he got covid - I think he believed nonsense like his "good genes" saved him.

I don't know if you saw it - but he made a reality tv-like PR return to the White House. His helicopter landed out on the grass and he walked to the building. Even under his suit (and coat?) you could see his chest heaving and it was clear he was struggling for breath. I'm certain the doctors told him to be very careful about his health but he didn't care. He needed his big return. He was clearly still recovering and I actually thought he might have a health episode right then and there.

He wanted to wear a Superman t-shirt after he left the hospital. I don't think his near death experience taught him a thing. In fact - I think it's the opposite. He started to think of himself as invincible like Superman.
