Trump finds every hole in our systems, every gap in our norms, every spot where our supposed “guardrails” are made of papier-mâché.
Caring for the commander in chief in a military hospital means that as a patient, they can order whatever the f– they want. So here we are.

Anyhow, he’s going to hotbox the entire White House permanent staff — not the political flunkies who signed up for this ride, but the household workers, groundskeepers, and others who expect a president to show even a modicum of care for their welfare. Spare a thought for them.
Anyway, I now care as much about how well he fares through this disease as much as he apparently does.
Whatever happens, what will have come closest to holding Trump accountable — not just as president, but over the sweep of his entire life — will not have been our vaunted institutions, our rule of law, or our supposed guardrails.
It will have been this virus.
It will have been this virus.
A virus — unlike every other nemesis Trump has ever faced — lacks all intelligence, all sense of self, all ego. A virus cannot be flattered, bought off, or intimidated. It will do what it does.
We will see what it does to him.

I learned just yesterday that the virus had killed a classmate at my tiny-as-a-speck high school.

We need a GoFundMe, except to have the backs of White House household workers who choose — for the sake of self protection — to walk out.
Insanity. Pure, unadulterated insanity.
