We're 98 days away from the 2020 election. As the United States reaches 150,000 coronavirus deaths and a civil rights pioneer is laid to rest, here are a couple illuminating contrasts to consider.
Interesting point here: Trump said over the weekend that he won't be throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game in August after all "because of [his] very strong focus on the China Virus." And when asked if he'll be paying respects to John Lewis yesterday, he said "No, I won't be going, no." He's a very busy man totally focused on the right things. Also, the pic with Brett Favre above was taken while the two golfed together on Saturday. It was Trump's 280th time on a golf course in this presidential term.
One of the tweets above is focused on the legacy of an important man who made life better and more equal for a lot of Americans. This other is the President of the United States whining about people saying mean things about him on Twitter (and calling criticism illegal). Presumably he was researching himself on Twitter because he's strongly focused on COVID-19, but I can't be sure.
One of these tweets expresses sympathy for and solidarity with Americans who have lost friends and family to a pandemic that is still raging. The other is hellscape fearmongering intended to scare senior citizens and suburbanites. The curious thing about Trump's tweet is that to the extent markets are crashing and cities are burning, it's actually happening on HIS watch in HIS America.
Anyway, sometimes it's useful to step back and take a look at the big-picture differences as we consider the choice ahead of us in November. I've seen some of my conservative-leaning friends say that both choices are equally terrible, implying that the two candidates are the same. That's not remotely true this year.
