Donald Trump is a curious creature. Throughout his life, he was a notorious germaphobe. He hated shaking hands with people and he avoided it even after he entered politics.
No, it wasn’t because he was afraid of people knowing how tiny his hands really were.
But ever since, Coronavirus has struck, Trump has changed. Now he is actually shaking hands with people more than ever, and he flat out refuses to wear a protective mask.
What’s going on? Is Trump trying to get himself killed? The answer is something much more obvious, and quite dark.
He doesn’t wear a mask and shakes hands with people, and makes sure it gets on camera
Once Coronavirus hit America, sweeping the entire nation with its wake of death and disaster, Trump changed how he had behaved all these years.
First of all, President Trump and vice-president Mike Pence have refused to wear a mask in public, while meeting people and even while visiting patients. Trump makes it a point to shake hands enthusiastically, and he makes sure that there are cameras watching him.
Why is trying so hard to show that he is invincible against Coronavirus?
Political experts have tried to understand the meaning of this sudden change in Trump’s behaviour, and it seems that Trump has a sinister agenda behind this.
Every action of Trump regarding the COVID-19 emergency shows that he has a personal agenda and doesn’t really care about the people. And his personal agenda is to be reelected for President in November.
That is why Trump administration initially tried to brush away the threat of Coronavirus, and USA was not prepared when the virus struck. They have also been spreading misinformation about how severe the crisis really is.
The recent efforts to reopen the cities are also intended to show that everything is alright in America when the country is still getting 20,000+ cases every day.
Trump has also said that mass testing is not helpful, and he only said so because more tests will show more reported cases, which will eventually hurt the popularity of Trump government.
Does USA government care more about corporate than public health?
Donald Trump went as far ahead as to say that he won’t wear a mask because it “looks ridiculous” and “sends the wrong message” to his voters. He wore the mask only once while visited a PPE plant in Arizona, but he removed the mask before facing the cameras.
Are you curious about what his biggest worry is? He is worried that people might think the American government cares more about public health than the economy, and that will hurt his chances of reelection. This information is all you need to know about the kind of people who vote for Trump.
On the other hand, New Zealand has almost eliminated the virus but they have still not lifted the lockdown. New Zealand PM has said she cares more about the people’s health than the greed of the 1%, and New Zealand is well on its way to make a full recovery.
Trump has hands tied by his corporate overlords
In this struggle, American people have to choose between their own lives or working for boosting the economy (also known as the greed of the wealthy).
While scientists like Dr Fauci have clearly warned that premature lifting of lockdown will actually collapse the economy even further as more people start dying.
But corporate overlords seem to not understand this, and they have been pressuring the government to remove the lockdown. And Trump is willing to do their bidding since this is what will please the corporate giants who fund his campaign.
Trump is not alone in not this scenario, the Indian version of Trump – Narendra Modi is also doing the bidding of his corporate overlords and planning to lift the lockdown in the coming weeks as the daily infections in India keep increasing every day.
He also wants to show he is the “real man” and “alpha male” who will look weak if he wears a mask
Another reason Donald Trump doesn’t wear masks is to boost his image as the “superior white alpha male.” That his masculine invincibility should be obvious to everyone in the country who sees it. That he is so strong he doesn’t need to wear a mask to protect himself.
In his election campaign, Trump had even tweeted that his “full medical report shows perfection.” To which even his doctor has replied saying that “Trump’s physical strength and stamina are extraordinary.”
After all, he is on the nutritious diet of hamberders and covfefe.
Behold! MAGA masks
But the most interesting thing is that even though Trump and Pence don’t wear masks, Trump has approved the production of red MAGA masks for his supporters which will be given to those who donate money to his campaign.
Even in this disaster, he has found a way to make money and also to promote himself via the masks. But his voters who wear his masks so happily, they never ask why their messiah Trump is not wearing a mask.
