News that US President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and other high level Republican officials have tested positive for Covid-19 – and others awaiting test results after potential exposure to the above – has added another dimension of disarray to what was already one of (if not the most) chaotic US Presidential campaigns in history.

The effect of this on the US Election will of course be unknown until the severity and length of Trump’s illness plays out.

I don’t think I need to go into details again to my readers about Donald Trump’s antics at the G7, or him and his advisers basically equating Prime Minister Trudeau to the modern day equivalent of Benedict Arnold because horrors, publicly stating again that we disagree with and would be retaliating against US tariffs with our own somehow makes Trump look weaker to the North Koreans.

Instead, I’ll just post this here for folks who want to get Donald Trump’s attention the only way possible: at his bottom line.

The twitter msg threads in some of these columns about Roman Baber being booted from the Ontario PC caucus is half amusing/half concerning (amusing for the conservative split, concerning about how Trumpian they sound with wanting to disregard Covid public health regs. #onpoli

If you want to know how serious the UK variant of #COVID19 is, my friend caught it because a kid was running around the hallways in her building and she returned him to his parents just 2 floors up. Max 12 minutes together indoors.
