Where Dreams May Come

What dreams may come?

- this line from the famous monologue of Hamlet, which gave the name to the fantastic film of 1998 with Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra in the lead roles, was translated by our film distributors as "Where Do Dreams Come?", Although the film was not about dreams at all, but about the afterlife of a loving couple ...

Russian distributors obviously did not read Shakespeare - his Hamlet was just asking himself the question: "What kind of dreams in that death dream will you dream when the cover of earthly feeling is removed?"

The analogy between sleep and death is quite transparent, it is not for nothing that the Greeks believed that Hypnos and Thanatos, the gods of sleep and death, respectively, were twin brothers.

But death and dreams ... something does not add up here.

For the Russian consciousness, in any case.

But it turns out that for American leftists and liberals, these are very close concepts.

They can really dream of the death of a person, especially if this person is the President of the United States, Donald Trump, which they dearly hate.

When it became known on Thursday evening that the presidential adviser, the pretty blonde Hope Hicks, had fallen ill with COVID-19, the liberal public held its breath: what if? .. After all, Hicks was constantly next to Trump and accompanied him to the debate with Biden in Cleveland!

And on Friday, the President of the United States confirmed on his Twitter that the tests for the "crown" of himself and the first lady of the country, Melania Trump, were positive and that they were quarantined.

"We'll get through this TOGETHER!"

- wrote the president.

This tweet has almost 2 million likes.

It would be naive to think that all of them were delivered by social network users sympathetic to Trump.

Someone even bothered and created a poll in the comments - how many people liked this tweet because they want Trump to recover (28%), and how many are just happy that the president took the crown (72%).

However, it is enough to read the comments - they are sprinkled with undisguised, shameless gloating.

The most harmless thing that can be seen in this liberal macabre: "Well, now I believe in the virus?"

Everything else is literally zoological hatred.

Liberal, free-thinking, believing in democracy and the rule of law, Americans sincerely wish their president the death.

They hope that COVID-19 will kill him, who is at risk: after all, 74 years is not a joke.

They pray that he will not live to see the elections.

The only thing they really care about is whether Trump infected Biden during the debate.

Yes, everything went according to the new rules, in accordance with the health and safety protocols developed by the Cleveland Clinic, the participants in the debate took to the podium from different sides, did not shake hands and were at a social distance ... but at the same time, Trump and Biden and presenter Chris Wallace were unmasked.

This is understandable: try to debate in a muzzle!

And considering how emotionally the debate went, how both participants spit saliva on each other ...

Let us return, however, to the reaction of the American left to Trump's illness.

When the President was taken to Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda (the main hospital for the US Armed Forces), Leftists and Liberals began to dance with impatience, waiting for Trump to finally leave this world.

And since the first official reports on the president's health were rather encouraging, social media was flooded with various "information leaks" from "informed sources", according to which Trump was doing much worse than reported by the White House press service.

“Over the past 12 hours, conversations with Republicans close to the White House show that the situation was much more dire than the White House claims.

Before being transported to Walter Reed Hospital, Trump kept asking aides, “Am I going to die like Stan Chera?

I will die?"

- Vanity Fair columnist Gabriel Sherman confidentially told his subscribers.

(Stanley Chera is a close friend of Trump, a billionaire real estate developer from New York, who died of the "crown" in April at the age of 70).

It makes no sense to explain that Sherman does not provide any evidence that Trump uttered precisely these words.

However, his "inside" was immediately replicated by all the liberal media - as proof that the president's condition was much more difficult than the Americans were told.

After a press conference on Saturday, at which Trump's doctors reported on therapy (he was prescribed antibodies treatment, the antiviral drug Remdesivir, as well as zinc, vitamin D, aspirin and a number of other drugs) and reported that the president is already much better, the temperature he does not have it and he is not connected to the oxygen apparatus, the mysterious "springs" seethed with renewed vigor.

“I hate to be an alarmist, but a GOP source just told me this:“ Trump's condition is serious.

Anything can happen.

Despite all the medications and care for the president's condition, they (doctors -

) can lose him within 3-4 days.

They are trying to make him look good in order to reassure his supporters, ”says Democratic Party activist John Cooper, who served on the Biden and Obama support committees,“ in secret to the whole world.

“I have no way of confirming this report, but I feel I must pass it on.

This source in the Great Old Party has proven its reliability many times in the past. "

Cooper was echoed by CBS News Radio journalist Stephen Portnoy: “A source familiar with Trump’s condition told reporters:“ The President's condition has been very worrying over the past 24 hours and the next 48 hours will be critical for his treatment.

We are still not on the straight path to full recovery. "

There are countless similar posts and tweets on American social networks, and they all look like twins - they all refer to unnamed "sources in the White House" or "the president's entourage" and all are saturated with poorly hidden (if not hidden) hope that Donald Trump will lose the fight against the disease.

It got to the point that the Twitter administration officially announced that in the light of numerous media reports about people wanting the death of the President of the United States, it will block and delete tweets wishing "someone death, serious bodily injury or terminal illness" or "hope of death. "In the light of the diagnosis made to the US President.

True, a public wish of this kind does not yet lead to automatic disconnection of the user from the social network.

However, users who repeatedly send such tweets may end up being blocked forever.

This move by Twitter immediately drew a sharp rebuff from the "squad" - four leftist congressmen from the House of Representatives, about whom I wrote more than once in my columns.

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tleib and Ayanna Pressly - very “progressive”, ardent feminists - expressed their “surprise” at Twitter's politics.

Of course, they could not openly declare that they wished Trump an early and painful death - that would be too much even for such patented leftists.

Instead, the fighters of the “squad” complained that in the same Twitter they were repeatedly threatened to be “hanged” for high treason and were harassed - and then the administration of the social network for some reason did not consider it necessary to issue a special warning.

Of course, bullying on social networks is not new and, unfortunately, ineradicable.

But never before has it grown as big as this weekend when Trump battled the coronavirus at Walter Reed Hospital.

It was the scale of this persecution, hundreds of thousands of tweets wishing the death of the head of state - by the way, not some dictator, but the legally elected president - that forced the Twitter administration to take tough measures.

Donald Trump's illness has finally tore off the masks of false decency from liberal journalists and commentators, and at the same time showed the whole world what a vile, disgusting, cruel herd the American left is.

Not an ounce of sympathy, not a grain of empathy, not a hint of mercy in the hearts of these people remained - only dark hatred and anger.

That is why it is perfectly acceptable for liberals and "progressives" to dream of the death of their political opponent.

Wasn't Harvey Lee Oswald like that, firing three bullets at America's hope, the young and charismatic John Fitzgerald Kennedy?

But Oswald was alone, and millions of such Oswald, dreaming of the death of the president, is a rather terrible picture, from whatever side you look.

Much to the dismay of the liberals, Donald Trump is clearly and quickly on the mend.

All "insiders" of "informed sources", as expected, turned out to be fakes.

On Sunday, the president's attending physician said that the patient's condition is not a cause for concern and as early as Monday he could be discharged from the hospital.

And Trump himself on Sunday evening recorded a new video message to the American people, in which he confirmed that he was feeling great, and thanked the doctors and nurses Walter Reid for their excellent work.

Then he left the hospital in a black armored Chevrolet Suburban and returned to the White House.

Among other things, this means that the second debate with Biden, of which the Democrats are so afraid, may well take place.

And the rating of the president, who so quickly overcame a dangerous, especially at his age, illness and proved that he is still a strong leader, is likely to grow.

At least against the background of Biden, who is constantly hiding in his underground bunker, Trump - albeit thinner and pale during his illness (his trademark "tan" faded suspiciously quickly) - looks like a real fighter.

Those who looked forward to his death with impatience and hope do not even look like vultures, but just rats.
