Trump's lack of coronavirus action will only cause more authoritarianism

On March 8, Trump administration flack Dan Scavino tweeted out a doctored picture of President Trump, his face glommed onto a fiddle. The text around the picture, in all caps, said, “MY NEXT PIECE IS CALLED NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT’S COMING.”

Trump is president in small part because he gave himself fully to meme culture, so it’s only natural that he would retweet Scavino within milliseconds. “Who knows what this means,” Trump said, “but it sounds good to me!”
