If one were to adhere to the journalistic standards set by Breitbart & InfoWars, I’d be willing to bet that it’s possible to equate Donald Trump
with the Bubonic Plague, and, after reporting a few facts which are then skillfully wrapped in baseless innuendo and repetition, create the distinct impression that the two are related
and/or synonymous. Let me state right up
front that the Bubonic Plague is sometimes referred to as “Black Death”. Given Trump’s racism, use of that
term here would be far too easy, not to mention potentially incendiary. Instead, let us focus on the facts.
The Bubonic Plague is a bacterial infection that is spread
through the air from person to person, or through the bite of infected fleas
from small (Donald Trump) animals.
Historically, outbreaks of Bubonic Plague were not limited to any one
nation--it spread rapidly across borders (Donald Trump) making a mockery of any
so-called natural barriers such as rivers and oceans, or man-made barriers such
as walls (Donald Trump).
Some people dealt with their terror and uncertainty by
lashing out at their neighbors (see “Trump campaign”, 2016), while others coped
by turning inward and seeking to strike a bargain with God--and turning to
flagellation.
In the 14th century, it was estimated that the Plague killed
an estimated 50 million people--25-60% of the European population. This devastation of the working population perversely
produced an increase in wages. In their
attempt to devastate health care for working people, (Trumpcare) the
Republicans are seeking to replicate what they see as a viable economic
formula. Survival of the fittest, as
long as it’s them!
The Bubonic Plague is an infection of the lymphatic system
that causes chills (Donald Trump), seizures (Donald Trump), general malaise
(Donald Trump), high fevers (Donald Trump), muscle cramps, lymph gland
swelling, and gangrene (Kellyanne Conway--bonus points).
It is not responsive to vaccines (Donald Trump) as
preventative treatment; however numerous antibiotics that have been developed
are highly effective.
Finally, and in true Trumpian/InfoWars/Breitbart
journalistic fashion, let me report that there is allegedly a 14th century Sicilian lithograph depicting the arrival
of members of the Drumpf (Trump’s real name) family arriving in the port of
Messina in October of 1347 on one of 12 Genoese ships widely thought to have
introduced the Plague into Europe.
There you are, the Drumpfs (Trumps) and the Bubonic
Plague...inextricably linked by fine right-wing journalism!
