but no. Drumpf actually retweeted this…
Nero, according to ancient tradition, climbed to the top of his city walls and fiddled as Rome burned. While the historical accuracy can be questioned, the moral of the story is typically used to criticize someone for doing something trivial and nonsensical in the midst of a crisis.
So Drumpf’s retweet of his social-media manager’s tweet showing him playing a fiddle couldn’t be more timely, considering the continued spread of the coronavirus (which will all be sorted in a week, because the US has the best, most beautiful, testing kits) and the fact that the Dow Jones plunged more than 2,000 points early in start of week trading and triggered the stop-breakers.
You can’t make this shit up. Up is down, left is right, the world is going mad…
