SIMPLE & QUICK: TV-tinged Presidency does not produce successful governance; likely cancelled fall 2020

So I asked Bill a question some of you are thinking of if you’re into that world, which I find to be pretty interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn’t been checked but you’re gonna test it.

And then I said, supposing it brought the light inside the body, which you can either do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you’re gonna test that too, sounds interesting.

And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs.

So it’d be interesting to check that. So you’re going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me, so we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it goes in one minute, that’s pretty powerful.

— Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

When the Fonz jumped over the sharks, he cleared the danger zone and executed a perfect landing. Fonzie let go of the pull handle and glided back onto shore with outstretched arms. He won the challenge. An ecstatic, noticeably all white, crowd rushed Arthur Fonzarelli, surrounded him and proclaimed, “We’re his best friends!”

Despite the manufactured anticipation, the ersatz excitement of the crowd, and the spurious adoration from “best friends,” the Happy Days crew had certainly seen happier days. The 50s Americana franchise had faded from pop culture and its desperate attempt to remain relevant decidedly did it in. So much so that it coined a phrase worth repeating: “jumped-the-shark.”

As months pass and Covid cascades beyond the President’s now fabled April “drink bleach” coronavirus conference, the virus continues collecting American bodies and Trump’s political fouls continue fueling American fury. Compounding evidence suggests that the President and his Administration in poll after poll, on topic over topic, from swing states to the suburbs, is losing America.

These new polls predate the President’s recent stint of bizarre behavior. Will the ignorant impromptu stump speeches on taxpayer dime, the petulant and pedantic Goya beans nonsense, or the Commander-in-chief’s camo clad secret police abducting demonstrators and shooting peaceful protestors in the head herald back voters for Mr. Trump this November? Will it refresh interest and usher in a second season for the reality TV president?

Probably not.

Instead, the Trump Presidency is looking every day more and more like a one season sitcom in desperation of being cancelled. Even though now President Donald John Trump proved his detractors wrong in 2016 and America gave The Donald a chance, as Ritchie Cunningham asked Fonzie in that storied jump-the-shark episode, “Yeah, you won the challenge. But what did you really win?”
