He killed about half a million of them by his mismanagement of the 
Covid-19 response, and got himself very sick in the process.

His come-back demonstrates that some politicians can fool enough of the 
people, enough of the time. Common sense doesn't come into it - as John 
Larkin would know if he had any.

What Trump did do was play up to popular delusions, and launched a few 
of his own - like immigrants eating people's pets. Karmala Harris 
couldn't keep a straight face when he threw that nonsense into the 
"presidential" debate. J.D.Vance got stuck with appearing to take that 
seriously, which must have been humiliating.
