The Four Golfcartmen of the Apocalypse


In Biblical contexts, War, Death, Pestilence and Famine. Well, with the Trump administration, check, check, check, and check!

War? Trump set the stage for capitulation in Afghanistan, and is ready to do his own Manchurian Candidate imitation for Ukraine.

Death? See below (remembering “bleach” and Mr. Trump’s approach to the covid pandemic).

Pestilence. At least measles, if not bird flu.

Famine? Cutting off USAID funding is definitely going to cause starvation in developing countries.
