QOTD -- One Word


"... It is remarkable how a tongue-twisting word few of us were familiar with a month ago — hydroxychloroquine — has suddenly come to represent so many of the reasons Trump should not be president, especially during a time of crisis.

"That one word illustrates Trump’s arbitrary, anecdote-based method of making decisions; his reliance on cronies who have no relevant expertise; his rejection of science, or perhaps his failure to understand how science even works; his defiant stubbornness in clinging to what he “knows,” even when he doesn’t actually know it; his obsessiveness even in the face of contrary evidence; and his imperviousness to fact-based arguments he does not want to hear."  --  Eugene Robinson, writing this morning about the one word that encapsulates why world- class dolt and malignant tumor Donald "Moron Vector" Trump should not be president:  "hydroxychloroquine."  What Robinson may not have known when he wrote this is Trump's likely financial interest in companies that produce the drug he's hawking.  Which pretty much makes this peak Trump.
