by Austen Brennan Most of the hot-takes about last week’s presidential debate have already been written; America has moved on from that spectacle to the much more serious news of President Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis and subsequent irresponsible behavior. Though several prominent conservative commentators have said the diagnosis is horrible news for Trump’s candidacy, and his actions since testing positive bear this out, I think the small amount of sympathy given his high-risk status, and the opportunity for the President’s opponents to beclown themselves by mocking him while he’s in potentially mortal danger, provide a distraction from his antics on stage last Tuesday. If he wants a chance of winning on November 3rd, a distraction is something he sorely needs.
