Shifting The Spotlight
Things Will Get Back To Normal Once Donald Trump & Simone Biles Retire
When you get rid of the best and the worst score, you then see the average, just like people.
We will have gone through an Olympics and an election by the end of this year. Whether you registered to vote or registered for the Peacock app, we’re ready to see what will happen next year and beyond.
With Simone Biles, the sports announcers say no one is in her league. She does things that are so difficult, only she can do them.
Trump brags like that, about himself. Things are so difficult, only he can do things no one else can — politically. We know he can do nothing and Biles can do everything. So, it’ll be interesting to see what happens when they’re both put out to pasture.
The gymnastics world can go back to average flips, twists and routines. It’ll be a leveled playing field once again. A bobble, a toe out of bounds, a slip, will all mean something again.
Simone jumps and does near-miracles in the air and gets double the points. She can screw up the landing on the vault, but it doesn’t matter. She gave such a show while airborne, that mistakes mean nothing, thanks to the higher difficulty score.
Gymnasts all over the world will breathe a sigh of relief when their double-flips will mean something again.
With Trump, it’s remarkably in the same realm. Donald’s scare tactics and fear-mongering mean nothing at this point. It’s just rambling. When he’s out of the political arena, will other Republicans be able to keep up his high-octane charade? Probably not. He’s a one-man vocal garbage dump.
Who will the future politicians be in the GOP? Will they go back to having values? Possibly. They can’t rant like Trump, so it levels the playing field on future candidates.
With Trump & Biles, we saw one was an advocate for mental health, and the other one shows why you need it. One was a great American, while the other tried to destroy the country. One was concerned about the team & showing their support, while the other was solely there for themselves and demanded support of others. Opposite ends of the spectrum, the best and the worst.
Oddly enough, when they both stop doing the thing they love, things could get back to normal, or at very least, become more bland. We may have many years of averageness ahead.
No one may brightly shine like Biles or bulldoze like Trump, in their respective fields, for a long time. We’ll be able to look back in awe and say, ‘I can’t believe that person did that.’
