I cannot shake the nagging suspicion

6. He is not a super genius

He's a fucking idiot.

He has done everything that the experts told people NOT to do. He ignored the science, didn't wear a mask, didn't socially distance, crowded into enclosed spaces with other people who were also not following protocols. Of COURSE he caught it.

I get that with all the lies we have been told over the last five years, the instinct to not believe what he says is strong. But the coronavirus is real, highly contagious, and doesn't care who it infects. If you don't take precautions -- the same precautions that Trump and the Republicans have been telling everyone not to worry about -- then this is exactly what happens.

I believe this about Trump: he's is an irresponsible jerk who has been putting everybody in danger for the last six months and is now hoist on his own petard.
