Yes, much as I love what we've seen so far, I don't have much hope for scamdemic accountability. I think it's more than his pride and ego. Two factors - he's a germaphobe, which clouds his thinking on medical issues. And, he's a believer in the power of technology and big business to improve our lives. Which can be true, but he's way too biased in their direction.

I dunno about being a germaphobe SteelJ, campaigning requires shaking alot of hands and hugging, close proximity in crowds etc. He rarely wore a mask during covid. I've never seen him wipe his hand after a handshake.

Good points. But - I've read that he is several times. A search for "Trump is a germaphobe" turned up plenty of hits, saying he describes himself as one. Try it if you doubt, so many there's no point in posting a link.

Like most irrational psychological conditions, it manifests in irrational ways (surprise!). I'd call my Dad a germaphobe. He was meticulous about cleanliness in many but not all ways. Often actually spoke about "germs" and avoiding them. But loved to work in the dirt, loved to mingle, was an inveterate hand-shaker. So while your points make sense, phobias often don't.
