Prediction: Prepare For High Drama This Week.

[MineralMan]

Shakespearean level drama. The stage is set. The players are in the wings.

The King has gone mad. His family doesn't know what to do. His staff doesn't know what to do.

Sit on the edges of your seats this week. The action on stage will be fast and furious, and the dialog confusing and confused.

This play might well appear to be a comedy, but it will not end as a comedy.

Raise the curtain! Let the play commence!

1. I am just really worried about Biden because I bet Trump will want a in-person debate

[MineralMan]

4. I have a feeling there will be no debate in this play.

That's my feeling.

[ananda]

31. Agree.

This will play out like a really bad telenovela.

[marlakay]

20. My thought is Trump is sucking the air

Out of the room and going to do anything and everything to be getting all the attention this month so Joe gets none.

It will be interesting to see how tonights townhall vs Trump leaving hospital is covered.

I bet the channels doing the townhall will be talking about Trump before and after and all the other showing Trump leaving. Its been like this since 2015 and we need it to end! I am sick of everyone jumping over themselves for this horrid person.

[dchill]

2. Agree, dammit.

I really want him to last until the election.

[11 Bravo]

3. You have a way with words, my friend. Well done!

[MineralMan]

5. Thanks!

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Yes!

Did we just witness the biggest Hoax ever pulled off?

Just another Episode of the Apprentice,how to F over a Nation from Walter Reed.

Richard Bacon would be proud.

[Binkie The Clown]

7. I half expect the week to end with Trump on a ventilator. nt

[duforsure]

21. I do too!

If they can get him there quick enough. He's battling mental issues now also. He's very very close to losing power from his behaviors.

[Stuart G]

8. Actually, I am not sure that Shakespeare could write a crazy play like this.

But he could write about unhinged people, and he did. Yes, if he was alive, he could write about all of
this.....I might add that no one would believe it could happen.

[eShirl]

9. yikes

(from "Hyde and Go Tweet" 1960)

[MineralMan]

23. LOL!

[Greybnk48]

10. I agree fully. I think Trump will be

Dead before the election.

[MineralMan]

11. Since I'm not writing this play, I don't know the ending.

None of us do.

[Greybnk48]

15. Science is writing it, and the odds are not in his favor. N/t

[Stallion]

13. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle.
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

[MineralMan]

24. Yes.

[Sogo]

32. Exactly.

....meaning, he already HAS written about it....

[haele]

14. When will they take him off the steriods? One or two weeks?

Also, will his staff members and all the others who were infected last week get the same treatments?
Without staff and enforcers, he's just going to be spinning his wheels and throwing tantrums for the next 7 - 10 days.

Will Johnson, Tillis, and Lee get back to the senate? Will Barr take himself out of quarantine?

Whatever happens, after he gets off the steriods, the crash will be truly epic. I don't doubt he will be catatonic by the 20th, permanent or not.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Maybe he's always been on steroids. . . . nt

[MineralMan]

25. We shall see. That's the drama.

[central scrutinizer]

16. At first I thought King Lear

Because of the confusion and madness. But who would be Cordelia? There’s a whole stable of Regans and Gonerils (of both genders).

Can’t be Julius Caesar. Can you imagine Drumpf yelling, “et tu” as McConnell and Graham stab him in the back?

Can’t be Romeo and Juliet. Melodrama on the balcony, “Donald, O’ my Donald, whyfore this prenuptial and non disclosure agreement?”

Caligula in I, Claudius comes to mind but tragedy requires the audience to have some connection with the tragic hero at some point. Few people are that insane.

Can’t be Hamlet or Othello because they actually had working brains. Left with the Scottish play.

Is Obama Banquo’s ghost? Jarvanka as Lady MacBeth?

Waiting for Act Five.

[MineralMan]

26. Any and all, perhaps

[Biophilic]

17. Damn, don't know whether to cuss at you or laugh

Unfortunately, you are probably right, but what happened to half hour sit coms?

I like to read Shakespeare because I can take my time to parse through his lines to thoroughly enjoy and understand them. And, I can put him down when I need to. This drama is way to fast and fresh and leaves me more than uncomfortable.

Perhaps in 400 years or so it will be easier to read.

[MineralMan]

27. Well, it won't be in 17th century English,

So there is that.

[Biophilic]

30. Yes, that might help...

but I'm not sure anything will help this comedic drama...or is it a dramatic comedy? Every time I think I've begun to understand what is going on suddenly the plot changes and I'm floundering trying to catch up. I'm not even sure Shakespeare could make this drama worth watching if we didn't have to.

[Different Drummer]

19. I am ready!

[MineralMan]

28. Ready or not, here it comes.

[mercuryblues]

22. This is going to be crazy

We have a presidunce who is temperamental, irritable, paranoid, vindictive, intellectually lazy, and rash.

By all means, these side effects make him incapacitated to govern. We do not even know what the side effects to remdesivir are.

[MineralMan]

29. Yes, all of that, made worse by his toxic narcissism.

[dalton99a]

33. The ratings will be tremendous

Millions of Americans glued to their TV sets waiting for BREAKING NEWS ...
