In Search of Some Miracle

Americans are, frankly, in search of some kind of miracle. Something to save them from the erratic behavior of their President. Something to make all the bad decisions he has made somehow mitigate themselves, and turn out to be not so bad.

We seek a wiser sort of human to undo all the horrors Trump has visited upon the environment, the healthcare system, the tax code, the EPA, the FDA, the NIH/NEA, and countless other agencies. Trump, he says, is watching out for our best interests -- as he decimates international trade and climate agreements, perpetuates and spreads his own kinds of racism, elitism, and xenophobia across the land; creates havoc on the Internet and among good practices in many fields, and generally proves to the world that he bears a "mandate for ignorance."

What is that miracle? Who is that miracle? Ivanka? Jared? Anyone?
