Trump on the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro: "The attacker was not a fan of Trump I understand. Just from what I read and what I've been told ... probably just a whack job." pic.twitter.com/IB0NFrcW9k

A normal POTUS --Trump is an aberration -- would have said something about being grateful that Governor Shapiro and his family were unharmed and are safe and that whomever perpetrated the crime will be brought to justice.
That would be normal. Trump isn't normal. He has a serious personality disorder, and he's a convicted criminal.
Instead Trump made it about HIM: "The attacker was not a fan of Trump, I understand."
AFAIK, Trump never called Governor Shapiro to inquire about his safety and offer support. Trump is a raging narcissist and hasn't the capability of showing an ounce of humanity.
Proof of this is how he and Bukele of El Salvadore dismissed the idea of bringing back Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man who is guilty of no crime.
For the record the actual language of the 9-0 against Trump Scotus ruling said: "The United States acknowledges that Abrego Garcia was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal."
So, what do the Trump supporters say to that? Do they agree that Trump should ignore what the highest court in the land has ruled? If so, where does that leave us, as a country of laws, not men? Answers anyone?

This is the ultimate test wether the rule of law or the whim of personality prevails.
Since the courts have no enforcement ability, and the Felon of this country has no respect for the rule of law my inclination is to think from this day forward the rule of personality and that personality's whims shall be what determines the law.
This nation as we've known it is dying under the iron boot of the Fascist "Leader" of the USA and his supporting cast of sycophants in congress, the rightwing media, and his MAGA sheeple in the general population.
Just imagine. This regime ADMITS to mistakenly sending this man to El Salvador. But is doing everything in its power to NOT remedy their mistake. How should anyone or any country ever trust this regime to do what they say. They certainly will never "do the right thing".
I looked up trump's response to the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting in 2018. While he actually admitted it was a terrible thing, he kept putting the blame on the synagogue and its members stating if someone was armed, this would not have happened or would not have been as bad.
Trump, bringing back the Wild Wild West?
The Felon cannot be trusted. We knew this long ago.
Unfortunately the nation, or at least enough if it, buried their heads in the proverbial sand and reelected a liar, a cheat, a con "man", a sexual assaulter, a felon, and a "man" without a conscience. Leading to his complete lack of an ethical or moral compass.
He sent him there. He can get him back. Or is he powerless?
After the assassination attempt on the Fmr President Trump, here's what President Biden had to say...
"I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former President and those around him safe," Biden said after being briefed on the shooting at Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
"I am relieved that the former President is unharmed. There is an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what happened... As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country..."
This is how a POTUS responds to an assassination attempt on a politcal leader in our country.
Compare that with Trump's statement and the fact that no GOP Political leader, including the president, have ever said, as Biden did... "there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country."
Anyone care to make a guess as to why the GOP and Trump have been so silent in directly condemning political violence?
I keep using the term FOTUS admin because while Trump agrees with all that is happening he can not make all this happen on his little ownsome. The thoroughness of the cruelty, every level? Not his style. Those closest to him who support him and his ideals? Oh yeah, they even wrote a book or two about what they wanted to do.
So, never see a problem without thinking of potential positives or ways to fight back: my only bright spot in this crap sandwich is that it's happening here/now where anyone who wants to express themselves vocally has a camera and ready made menu of platforms to extend their voice. I can't count the number of posts I've viewed/read where the human doing the creating is NOT OK with this situation. AT. ALL. Over and over, if it can happen to this person it will happen again. Maybe to you.
I can't imagine what the kids are feeling right now. I can feel the rage but it's modulated, different. It's a bamzillion voices all screaming at the hypocrisy, the in your face rudeness and trashing everything our country used to stand for and represent. Well then, maybe I can imagine.
Last thought - I'm not certain but life right now feels as if the billionaire class are at war with each other and all this turmoil is the fallout from when giants fight. Just a feeling I can't shake.
Trump initiated violence, January 6, 2021. The GOP did squat. Ran him again. One can realistically think they approve of political violence when it serves their interests and purpose.
Trump is just like Putin. Only dumber. Supported by basically the same mentality.
