Having moderated a presidential debate myself once, I was curious to see the debates between U. S. President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. I was hoping Chris Wallace, the moderator of the first debate, wouldn’t have time for Trump. to see how he would deal with a 90-minute verbal fight between two protagonists with contrasting personalities.
From the beginning, Trump tried to show his dominance by continually interrupting Biden and Wallace. No less than to seem intimidated, Biden returned the favor with his own interjections. This has become the trend of debate, which gave neither clarity nor higher spirit, only the worst manifestation of rudeness.
In the midst of this cacophony of overlapping voices, it is almost that any topic can be addressed for a while, but one topic succeeded: the coronavirus. He collected a total time of 20 minutes, according to CBS News, and, for reasons that have nothing to do with the debate, much more in the following days.
Having noticed that Trump left the White House to board a helicopter that would take him to Walter Reed Hospital after he and his wife tested positive for coronavirus, I don’t think anyone could have invented anything more tragic in the Greek sense of the word. It’s as if Esquilo or Euripides had used the Trump-Biden debate as a prologue to highlight the new American society’s innerst challenge: pride.
Arrogance, loss of contact with truth and overestimation of talents are the characteristics related to this Greek word. It would be hard to find someone in America today who personifies her more dramatically than Donald Trump. Hubist syndrome goes beyond the performative refusal to wear a protective mask in public this pandemic. This goes to the very center of the persistent rejection of its supporters that anything as small as a virus can threaten anyone’s life or bring the world’s toughest country to its knees.
It would be unpleasant to recommend that the coronavirus simply has not selected a host larger than the president of the United States to prove the truth of its power, but who can deny the importance of this moment?From now on, whatever Trump’s 74-year-old painting does, he will be subjected to maximum intense and thorough scrutiny, as for more than nine months, Trump’s site had been the busiest hospital’s extensive care unit in all affected countries. Here, other people recover or die of maximum incognito, the course of their illness appears only as a set of statistics in the dark daily login of COVID-19.
On the other hand, because of who he is and what he stands for, Trump’s war on the disease will be monitored globally. how its appearance interacts with existing situations and how the inherent complexity of the virus def from the summary patterns in which it was molded. Just as important, you can tell us how productive it is to prevent its progression or what to do to give the framework an equivalent possibility to fight the disease.
Now, nothing Trump can think of or what his doctors do to him can remain confidential, every small sign of improvement will be announced and commented on every minute of the worst, this is one of the instances where any suspicious pause in the president’s fitness-related news will be temporarily filled with speculation. It does not help that Trump’s presidency, the main media, has cultivated widespread skepticism about everything that is published through the White House or the president himself.
This was not the case when Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States, became infected with the Spanish influenza virus in April 1919, while attending peace talks after World War I in France. He kept a secret. While recovering from the disease, his biographers say he was never the same again. Six months later, he suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed and half-blind.
Because of advances in medical science, Trump may have a better chance of recovering from COVID-19, but no one is sure of the long-term effects of the virus.
