People aren't affected by Trump anymore. They're affected by reality. They are worried about the virus. They're worried about their jobs. They're worried that they can't travel to visit their relatives. They're worried about their rent and their mortgages. They're worried about losing federal unemployment benefits, which ended this week. They're worried about whether or not to send their children back to school. The things people have done to protect themselves aren't working. Being a citizen of a red state doesn't work. Living in suburbia rather than an inner city doesn't work. Private schools are as vulnerable as public schools. Corporate jobs are as vulnerable as blue-collar or gig economy jobs. Graduating from Harvard won't keep you from getting sick. Being a politician or a professional athlete or a famous entertainer won't protect you.
People want to know when they're going to get their lives back, and Donald Trump doesn't have an answer for them.
What's going to happen over the next 95 days? What's happening right now gives us a pretty good answer. The virus is out of control and will continue to spread. Trump is desperate and will continue to act in increasingly unstable ways. He will reward his friends and use the levers of power, such as the Department of Justice, against his enemies. He will continue to act like a fascist because he is a fascist.
Trump is losing it because he is losing. He doesn't know anything else. It's who he is.
