The point is, that scarcity in America had no bearing on if Trump would have gotten it. If there hadn't been one dose of vaccine in America, or even if it had been illegal to dispense, Trump would have had it within 12 hours of thinking it was better to have that shot than risk the most important person in his world suffer an early death.

We all know that. I don't see how that's relevant to what I was originally saying.

Ah, so your fervent wish is that the whole world was as dumb as the average American, and that if it was bad enough then millions of stupid Americans and Trump would have died. In that case, you're right, my previous comment was totally irrelevant.

This stupid wish doesn't need a cursed monkey's paw, the nicest genie in the world couldn't have made this turn out okay.

Wow. That's... one interpretation. Did you miss taking your meds this morning?

We're done here. I'm not dealing with someone so uncivil and plainly itching for an argument - I've already dealt with one of those recently & had my fill of bullshit. Good luck to you in getting your easily inflamed rage under control.

My interpretation? Here you are talking about my rage while you lay on the ad hominems. The closest I got to a personal attack is saying your wish is hopelessly stupid, which is an attack on the statement and not the person. I'd like to say your responses are projection, but that would be an insufficiantly informed personal attack. Likewise, good luck.
