Covid-19 Presidency

I find it bitterly ironic that 2020 will likely end with the death of President Trump from COVID-19, the virus he was so dismissive and mocking of up to minute when he was brought to the hospital and put on oxygen, fighting for his life. Maybe it won’t be a competition between Joe Biden and Mike Pence but that seems increasingly likely in this most turbulent of years. A sign of the times.
