What if..

 What IF 

Trump is actually a good guy.. hear me out now. 

What if the US and the other nations were in somewhat of a downward trajectory and the power that be (They) decide to make people care again. Introduce Trump, who is fine at being the buffoon as long as people stroke his ego - and wham... we have the 2016 election happen and it draws out all of the issues wrong with the US. It makes people care again, it makes people who "hate anything they can't understand" even more glaring.. it shines a light in the room to show us all the cracks. COVID .. well.. I think that might have been nature possibly.. but maybe not. Maybe it was a way to thin the herd, especially in places where people would not listen to medical advice. 

or maybe it is all just Chaos and there is no way back now.
