We all learned from Greek mythology that every nine years, Minos, King of Crete, demanded a sacrifice from Athens, seven boys and seven virgin girls to be devoured by the minotaur.

P.S - By the end of January artificial intelligence GPT-2 predicted that Trump would not be re-elected and last week The Economist published an article that gives Trump 18% chances at re-election. If the Economist had also take into account the effect of the wise words of the mad dog general and also on the ability of Covid-19 to take to the grave a huge number of Trump supporters (not even counting those that use to drink bleach) maybe his re-election chances could be even lower.
