Prayers for the President

All over the world people are praying for Donald Trump’s recovery from Covid-19. It must be working, since he has tweeted that the experimental treatments he’s been getting are ‘miracles from God.’ He must be in direct contact with the Divine. Perhaps the Chinese should watch out. The Divine Being must now have them in His sights for trying to poison the five times Nobel Peace Prize winner. Nominee, whatever. But was it really the Chinese? I thought all poisonings now had to be blamed on Vlad the Inhaler. Surely what we are witnessing is yet another example of Russian interference in Great Western Democracy? The biggest prayers for Trump’s recovery will be coming from Kim Jong-Un, Narendi Modi, Jair Bolsanaro, Boris Johnson, Benjamin Netanyahu, Rodrigo Duterte, tossers all (Johnson doesn’t look out of place in that crowd it has to be said, just more buffoonish). At least we could harbour a small hope that sufficient Republican Senators get Covid that they will be suitably incapacitated during any votes to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court. But for now, let's just kneel and pray, and let nature take its course.
