The COVID Diaries – 145 25th August
In comments made last night at the Republican National Convention, the eldest son of incumbent US President Donald Trump (Donald Trump Jnr) compared the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to the Loch Ness Monster.
He also accused Mr Biden of “lurking around” like the legendary creature of the Highlands – saying he only “sticks his head up every now and then to run for president”.
There is a fatal flaw with this comparison: The Loch Ness Monster doesn’t exist, whereas Joe Biden does. Far from being a monster, he offers a unifying, rational alternative to Trump who might just salvage the United States from the swamp into which Trump has taken it.
