More from Garry the chess player:
Trump covets authority without responsibility, the creed of every strongman. To use the golfing language he understands, such contradictions are par for Trump’s course, as when he now claims that he always knew about the pandemic when in fact he spent weeks saying no one could have seen it coming. Well, which is it? Did Trump know and do almost nothing, or was he oblivious despite the experts’ many warnings?
On 10 April 2005, Kasparov was in Moscow at a promotional event when he was struck over the head with a chessboard he had just signed.
The assailant was reported to have said,
“I admired you as a chess player, but you gave that up for politics” immediately before the attack.

. . . In the 2016 United States presidential election, Kasparov described Republican front-runner Donald Trump as "a celebrity showman with racist leanings and authoritarian tendencies".
He also criticised the economic policies of Democratic primary candidate Bernie Sanders, but showed respect for Sanders as "a charismatic speaker and a passionate believer in his cause".

Mostly black people. Trump’s doing it mostly to them. And kittens. Black people and kittens. And love. Trump’s weakening the immune systems of black people, kittens and love.
Now that was well stated.
One thing for sure, we are seeing the resurgence of the “fundamental transformation of America.”
