Preciously, and fortunately for my writing this Sunday morning — this morning, John foolishly chooses to laud the “boaters for Trump” on the many lakes that dot Minnesota. Perfect. See below.

The import of the masthead I’ve set above is that Trumpers… aren’t very bright. Not even bright enough to save their own lives — in a bathtub….

In truth, as to FDA vaccine approvals, there has never been need — in the past 100 years, certainly — for scientists to speak out against a then-sitting president, one who is attempting to push his thumb down (for a supposed-re-election advantage) — on the scales of good clinical trial practices, in the process for an eventually-FDA approved COVID-19 vaccine.

It is. . . astonishing. More, when the statement is released.

But I suppose (less-seriously), the best metaphor for this above (and below) Trumpian attempt — is the now three weekends’ running self-sinkings — in his would-be supporters’ “bath-tub navy“… [or as they refer to themselves in central Illinois, “white trash boaters, who vote“] as most of these supporters aren’t even smart enough to understand the scientific principle of wave- (or in this case, wake-) amplification — in an enclosed body of water. I am genuinely glad no one was injured, but seriously — if this is his base… it explains… so, so much. Onward, grinning.
