Trump Emerges Victorious: Lessons To Be Learned…

By Nick Stamatakis

The satirical “Babylon Bee” in the photo above captured the absurd behavior of the media and the Democrats: They were accusing Trump of unnecessarily taking a ride – “and risking the life of the secret service men” – in his presidential limo, aka “the beast”, outside Walter Reed Hospital just to greet his fans who gathered to “bring a rally to him”… If he had put the sign “Black Lives Matter” on the door there would be absolutely no problem – just applause from the crazy Left of our times… As for the secret service men – these men thankfully are not wimps and will not be intimidated by a virus…

As I am writing these lines the President is discharged from the Hospital victorious is every possible way. Let’s enumerate:

1. He was humanized by the disease.  Trump is a “larger than life” personality giving effortlessly the impression of invincibility to those around him.  Catching the virus brought him down to a human “size”. Trump is now a regular guy who can catch the virus and survive…
2. Although the Democrats tried to present a front of civility, their surrogates (and have no doubt, the journalists are democrat party surrogates) were not able to hide their hate once again… There is nothing worse than expressing hate at a time your opponent is in the hospital bed… The cost will be measured in hundreds of thousands of votes…
3. In addition to the President, the virus was also cut down to size. If a 74-yr old “overweight” President Trump can beat the virus why not the rest of us? There is absolutely no reason not to… The therapeutics are there in great variety and some of them (zinc, vitamin c) are available over the counter. A major lesson is that one needs to be careful and catch the virus as early as possible… Also, some of the medicinal treatments used for the President are either readily available or becoming abundantly available to anyone who would need them.
4. There is no scientific agreement on how effective masks are – especially the cheap ones widely used today.  Has anyone counted how many times Biden – and other “mask promoters” – was touching his mask on the outside with his fingers? “Trying to stop the virus with a mask is like trying to stop mosquitos with a chain-link fence”, said someone and this is exactly right. This is a vaporized virus and can penetrate most protective masks…
5. If we are now considering “lockdowns”, and other panic measures, what are we going to do next year when a new virus may come out of China’s raw markets or from Africa? Are our democrat so-called “leaders” ready to propose that every year or two years we will be stopping all life to confront a virus? Humanity has a civilized life of thousands of years and has NEVER practiced the prolonged lockdowns we have unnecessarily applied to ourselves.  The word quarantine comes from the Venetian term “quarantena” for “40 days”; in March of this year we were convinced to “lockdown” for a short while in order to “flatten the curve”.  We did not sign on to destroying our economy and society in order to control a virus…
6. In the end, President Trump’s catching the virus proved that there is no way to control the spread of the virus – especially the aerosolized “Chinese virus”.  If in a place like the White House, where tests on all visitors are being done daily, there is such a spread of the virus then there is no way to control it.  Why? Because it takes days for the virus to incubate and create symptoms (if it ever does create any symptoms, as 40% of the carriers are asymptomatic).  How can we control where all 100 people (who were present at the famous Rose Garden event) had been for the previous 2-3 days, who did they see and what surface did they touch? Are we fooling ourselves that we will control the spreading virus?
7. We can only control our behavior and be as careful and responsible as we can, as clean as we can.  And we can certainly protect those most vulnerable among us – which NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo failed miserably to do. Sweden’s example verified the above approach in the clearest way. The problem is Sweden is not leading the world – the United States is, and it has the domestic and foreign enemies to prove its leading position…

We cannot succumb to the “advice” of those who are peddling fear and panic. We cannot destroy our life in order to expedite the political agenda of those who want to exercise global control on humanity. Freedom will be the winner over fear –  there is no other way, we have no other choice…
