The Biggest Mess Left Behind For A New President

I think I’m correct. This is by far the longest list of crises left to a new US president.

For example, Truman was ready to take the helm in April 1945. FDR’s death didn’t rattle the nation in despair and chaos. But 2020? It sure ain’t 1945.

The Trump horror show is ending with rushed Federal executions, a shattered republic, broken confidence in our democracy, and a failed public rollout of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.

The vaccine is not reaching Americans in group 1C. I got my vaccine, but my 79 year-old parents haven’t heard shit about their pending vaccinations. What. The. Fuck.

The Biden administration is doomed. It hasn’t begun, but it is set for failure. All because we let an angry, reclusive, sick New Yorker take shits on our Federal government and our nation for nine long, painful years (if you include the long buildup to Trump’s run and nomination, which I do - just look at Trump’s 2011 and 2012 Twitter feeds).

There’s no movement to help Biden fix what Trump has broken. There’s no widespread public desire to heal our wounds and take care of our elderly. We’re just a nation of selfish monsters who are acting like the pandemic is over. It will linger for years, until the next pandemic.

We will never change. We will never learn. And we will never be good. Just like Donald J. Trump.
