Another recent controversy demonstrates this strange conception of strength. Advocating and demonstrating the use of a face mask during a pandemic is a morally compulsory commitment by a public servant to the common good. And if presidential leadership accomplishes anything, Trump’s public wearing of a mask would save some lives. But this is something Trump has refused to do. When asked his reason, the president said he “didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it.” Trump clearly views any concession — even a concession to common sense and common decency — as a form of surrender.

Unlike the statues Trump and his team have focused on to date, though, Christ the Redeemer is not in the United States. There’s no indication that the 125-foot sculpture, which sits at the peak of Corcovado mountain overlooking Rio, is at risk of vandalism or removal. It’s also not clear how Trump or Pence might go about protecting it if it were threatened, which, again, it does not appear to be.
