18) I've felt fairly alienated from both parties recently. Democrats said that Trump had no plan for COVID, gave no leadership, was costing American lives, and failing to fight the disease. And they're right.

19) Republicans countered that Democrats were dragging out the pain, wrecking havoc on the economy for a year while failing to either squash the virus or live with it. And they're right, too. Neither side really acknowledged the truth: that you had to make a hard choice.

20) And at the climax, Trump himself got COVID. His behavior was bizarre and true to form, taking the opportunity to shill some companies and hold meetings with fake props at a fake desk. And he didn't give the speech I would have, if I were him.

21) Because if you went on CNN, you would see an entire page full of attacks on Trump, for getting COVID, and for not being careful enough. Which, ok, sure, but there's another narrative here, too. Which is that Trump did what leaders do.

22) He got COVID because he prioritized running the government over his personal safety. And then he left the hospital early. Because he was the President of the United States of America, the leader of the free world. The world wasn't got to stop spinning while he was sick.

23) And so he chose to lead, and uphold his duties as president (and, you know, whichever random drug companies he was into that day), even if it meant risk to his own health. I don't know. I'm not Trump's biggest fan, but that was the day I was most proud of him.

24) Anyway, we reap what we sow. And after decades of sowing distrust in each other, we were left with our darkest moment: a part of the country violently storming the capital and invading the senate because they didn't believe the results of the election.

26) And so as we transition to the 46th president, we have to work to heal the divides in our nation. But more importantly, we have to treat each other in good faith, so that we can prevent these divides from forming in the first place. Good luck,
@POTUS
