WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican National Convention begged this question: Why are President Donald Trump’s most fervent supporters describing the state of his union as a hellscape?
It was perhaps the central paradox for voters wondering what to believe in the apocalyptic rhetoric, because it defied logic to believe it all.
Are Americans living in a dystopia or in an America made great again by Trump?
Four years ago, candidate Trump promised that if he won, "The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored.”
Now? “I’ve never seen our streets go this bad so quickly," Pat Lynch, representing tens of thousands of New York police officers.
When Trump was challenged by Axios national political correspondent Jonathan Swan to respond to the fact that, “a thousand Americans are dying a day” due to COVID-19, the president responded as though the grim tally was perfectly acceptable, saying, “They are dying, that’s true. And it is what it is.”
While observers were aghast at the callousness of his statement, it should not have surprised us. Trump had warned that the death toll would be high, and he had asked us months ago to get used to the idea. In late March, the White House Coronavirus Task Force had projected that 100,000 to 240,000 Americans would die from the virus.
Rather than unveil an aggressive plan to tackle the spread and prevent the projected mortality figures, the president had said, “I want every American to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead.”The New York Times saw this warning as a contradiction to Trump’s stance in February and early March when he had said that “we have it totally under control” and “it’s going to be just fine.”
The paper seemed to heave a sigh of relief that a few weeks later, “the president appeared to understand the severity of the potentiallygrave threat to the country.”
But the report’s authors failed to grasp that Trump is willing to accept anything—including mass deaths—in service of his political career.

Trumps’ Favourite COVID Doctor Believes in Alien DNA, Demon Sperm, and Hydroxychloroquine.
Dr. Stella Immanuel, who emigrated from Africa, is a pediatrician and a religious minister, has a history of making bizarre claims about medical topics and Alien DNA, Demon Sperm, and Hydroxychloroquinets. She has often claimed that gynecological problems like endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches.
