TOI Correspondent From Washington: In the elastic universe of Donald Trump, time is not measured in days or months or years, but in something far more mystical, “two weeks.” The Trumpian fortnight is a unit so versatile, so enduring, and so reliably undelivered that it has become less a deadline and more a state of mind -- it is a magical period of time that is perpetually beginning, never ending, and carries the structural integrity of cotton candy.
For years now, the MAGA boss has deployed the “two-week” timeline with the casual confidence of a man ordering a Big Mac. A new health care plan? Two weeks. A replacement for Obamacare? Two weeks. Evidence of election fraud? Two weeks. Gold Card? Two weeks.
