inevitable,
immutable law, every
thing he touches … dies
It was back in 2018, in his book, Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever (New York: Free Press, 2018), Rick Wilson wrote:
I can’t tell you everything the next two years hold, but I can tell you a few things I’ve learned on the road this year.
First, Trump inspires the worst in some people and the best in most people.
For every scumbag alt-Reich stain on the Republic, for every pipe-bomber or synagogue-shooter, he’s inspired 10,000 more people willing to be the Americans we should be: connecting, talking, knocking on doors, volunteering, and lifting people a little higher.
He’s inspired people from vastly different ideological backgrounds to try to fumble our way toward an understanding that the United States still deserves saving, and so we’ll fight out the ideological policy battles later.
The second thing I know is now approaching the status of an immutable, proven, and inevitable law: Everything Trump Touches Dies.
I didn’t really question the concept when I first heard this back in 2018.
Eight years later, the views of the Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC on life support really brought it home.
It IS 100% true!
Everything Trump Touches Dies.
And I still feel, the United States still deserves saving.
