I woke up a couple of hours ago, did a quick check of the CNN News website and found out that President Donald Trump and his wife Melania have tested positive for COVID-19. My first reaction was one of schadenfreude, a German word for taking pleasure in the misfortune of others. This man who has so much power and influence but has done so little while so many have suffered and died, now faces the possibility of real consequences for his indifference and irresponsibility. A few minutes ago, I read of the well wishes made by some of Trump’s harshest critics. Some of this is of course insincere moral posturing, but it did induce in me a little shame. I am not religious, but my Catholic upbringing does influence my morality – we are all children of God, hate sin but love the sinner, be the bigger person. I am not there yet.
