I think it’s interesting that, IMO, the Powers That Be wanted to stir up trouble against President Trump when it came to sexual harassment issues. I think the MeToo effort was intended to lay a basis for this. I think Harvey Weinstein was sacrificed for this effort. But Stormy Daniels never went anywhere, President Trump never got bogged down in this sort of thing. Figures in Hollywood paid a price when the whole thing backfired and failed to hurt Trump.
Then we get the virus. Serious pandemic? Bioweapon? [shrug] The disease itself now comes across as a somewhat minor problem. But the Powers That Be saw Trump’s economy as a threat, and they managed ot shut it all down. Stock market plunged, unemployment skyrocketed, everyone sheltered in place and the booming US economy came to a standstill. But this too backfired because President Trump is generally seen as managing the crisis well. People do not blame him for the economic downturn. Meanwhile Hollywood is once again paying a steep price. Bankruptcies and disruption seem to be everyone out in the Entertainment Land.
At some point, will these people stop shooting themselves in the foot?
I suspect more than a few of them are of the mind that they’ll be happy to go if they can take lots of us with them.
