Some whack-job was thinking about taking a shot at President Trump at his golf course but it didn’t work out how he planned. Now he’s in custody and people are trying to turn him into a Democrat. I don’t know a lot of Democrats who both voted for Trump in 2016 and pined for a Ramaswamy-Haley ticket in 2024. He’s an unstable man with a long rap sheet who has supported everyone from Andrew Yang to Elizabeth Warren to Tulsi Gabbard. The last one is telling since the guy is a huge supporter of Ukraine and Gabbard gives every appearance of being on the Kremlin’s payroll.

But you know what? I’m glad the Secret Service did their job this time because we need them to be able to keep our leaders safe. Other than that, I’m already bored by this story. It’s a giant distraction that only helps Trump and J.D. Vance avoid scrutiny. It has interrupted coverage of their full-tilt move into racial hatred politics for the home stretch of this election. And even that was a distraction from what Kamala Harris wants coverage of this campaign to be focused on.

She wants the focus on her, and only on Trump as a comparatively non-serious person who utters a constant stream of outright gibberish. She could keep hammering him for being a felon and a racist, but she prefers to treat him as silly and ridiculous, and I think she’s landed on his kryptonite. The sooner the campaign can get back to mocking him, the better. I wouldn’t even take a day off. We have Elon Musk posting the Democrats are coming for people’s children and wondering why no one will step up and shoot at President Biden and Harris. These assholes aren’t letting up for one moment, and there’s no time to offer grace periods.

Why is the man golfing anyway when it looks like the election is moving out of his grasp? Why did he sleep through a trial that landed him with 34 felony convictions? Why does he think we should use nuclear weapons to deflect hurricanes or Clorox to cure Covid-19 or that windmills cause cancer? Why is he making social media posts that he “hates Taylor Swift”? Why is fooling around with Laura Loomer?

Because he’s an astounding idiot and deeply immoral person who should be in prison but in the meantime is deserving of only scorn and laughter. Let’s get back to keeping the main thing the main thing.
