When life hands someone their Karma in an elegant way, with witnesses and without any encouragement from victims or victors. It's the balancing of the scales of Justice in a way that would make a good story for others to learn from.

After months of knowingly downplaying COVID-19 and misleading the public as well as engaging in conspiracy theories in relation to the virus and continually mocking individuals, corporations and institutions that were trying to take the situation seriously, Donald Trump contracted said virus.
I always said that one of the greatest cases of poetic justice would be if Donald Trump ended up catching COVID after intentionally creating problems and making wildly inaccurate statements in regards to the virus.

Poetic justice is a literary device in which virtue is ultimately rewarded or vice punished, often in modern literature by an ironic twist of fate intimately related to the character's own conduct.
Poetic justice is referred to in "The Simpsons" episode "Boy Scoutz N the Hood." When Bart returns home from a Junior Campers meeting Homer asks "How was jerk practice boy? Did they teach you how to sing to trees and build crappy furniture out of useless wooden logs?" The chair that Homer is sitting on then breaks and he declares "D'oh! Stupid poetic justice."
