This is amazing....
An Eerily Prescient Surprise for 2020
* In January, before Covid-19 was a speck in our country's eyes, I warned about President Trump's health
In early January I delivered my annual 15 Surprises for 2020 realmoney.thestreet.com/dougs-daily-di….

My #1 Surprise (particularly this below) has proved eerily prescient:
"Under the weight of the pressure of running for reelection, a hectic travelling schedule and poor eating habits, President Trump's health catches up to him. A significant health problem is disclosed in the

Bret Stephens:
"We wish him well because we are better than he is. We are better than the man who mocked Hunter Biden for his substance-abuse issues. We are better than the man who called NeverTrumpers “human scum.” We are better than the man who wants to put his political

opponents in jail. We are better than the man who publicly humiliates his own advisers. We are better than the man who demeaned the gold-star parents of a fallen soldier. We are better than the man who pantomimed the physical disabilities of a reporter. We are better than the

man who stiffs his suppliers and swindles his “students.” We are better than the man who uses his celebrity to grope. We are better than the man who took a bone-spur draft deferment so that he could live to denigrate the courage of prisoners of war. We are better than the man

Written nearly twelve months ago my 15 Surprises for 2020 on @realmoney focused on President Trump.
It was my #1 Surprise and included an easy Biden win over other Dem nominees, a surprisingly large electoral college win over @realdonaldtrump who experienced a significant

health problem that sidelined him from participating in campaigning for a period of time.
The ultimate outcome: "In December, 2020, President Trump announces his plans to launch Trump TV. Sean Hannity leaves Fox News - assuming a duel role as CEO of Trump TV as well as the

@jimcramer

station's chief commentator. Rush Limbaugh and several Fox News commentators join Trump TV. "

Lifelong Republican Steve Schmidt, Founder of The Lincoln Project, nails it:
I wish Trump and Melania an expeditious recovery and hope very much that they will be in good health as they face electoral humiliation, repudiation and the harsh judgement of the

American people on Election Day. Trump’s lying has become one of the most lethal events in our nation’s history. If US mortality rates were what they are in Germany, more than 150,000 Americans would still be alive. Trump’s cruel disregard for the American people has ravaged our

economy, our kid’s educations and fundamental elements of the American way of life.
There is no person in America that has done more to spread Covid than @realDonaldTrump and no one has tried harder to catch it. Trump couldn’t have been more personally reckless than if he went to

@realdonaldtrump A cavallier Administration, given a series of crucial choices — whether to heed his nationalist and protectionist impulses or his “don’t spook the stock market” biases, whether to listen to his germaphobia or his apparent fear of looking unmanly in a mask —

consistently chose wrongly when they could have chosen wisely. Trump went by his own choices from being a president who had an unique historical opportunity to vindicate his professed worldview to a president who is now infected with the very virus that is dooming

his re-election bid. The president does not, to put it mildly, resemble the tragic heroes familiar from Aeschylus or Shakespeare. But he has a little more in common with some of the flawed, arrogant, appetitive figures from the Hebrew Bible — figures who are given opportunities

@realDonaldTrump In the arc of history Trump was granted a unique chance of heroism. Providence granted Trump, a flawed sinner, a chance at greatness. He chose badly and let it pass him by.
It is almost a Shakespearean drama, his illness just seems to emphasize that we are

inside the falling action of a play - the working out of
choices and themes that were established months ago.
While we pray for his quick recovery - his failing action in the 2020 drama could have spared lives.

However, we cannot behave as though life isn’t just one accident after another, as though narrative lines in history actually exist, as though our choices are woven into patterns and not just left to unspool randomly.
