Presidential Cleansing

Often I accuse American media for having become a broken record, an endlessly-spinning, frenetically-paced, blaring, weather report of bad news.  Before Donald Trump was elected President in 2016, this was not the case.  America more resembled the America with which we are familiar.  The six o'clock local murder report is a new thing.  Violent crime in America steadily increased during Donald Trump's presidency.  He would brag about that the same way openly he professed to want to eliminate "burdens" on the American economic system.  Those burdens were old people, immigrants, and others unfavorable to the elite, who didn't deserve to live on the same planet.  Donald Trump openly campaigned with this philosophy.  Get rid of the pork of America, not the pork barbecuing in the Swamp, but the pork of the American people.  Us.  We thought he was joking or being flip, because how could someone running for the American presidency say such things with candor?  He did.  Several years later a pandemic beset the world and killed millions of people.  Many of them were old, sick, and immigrants.
