Phew. Now that all that's off my chest, while we're still talking about Trump, I'd like to pivot and discuss the [assassination attempt on his life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Donald_Trump "Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump").
-The democrats want to claim that the shooter was a disaffected republican and the republicans want to claim that he was a radical democrat, but there's not enough information publicly known about him yet to say either way and the information we do have is conflicting. At age 17 he donated $15 to a liberal voter turnout group and at age 18 he was registered to vote as a Republican. So it's anybody's guess what his motivations were. We may never know.

When I first heard the news that Trump had been shot, there was an instant sinking feeling in my stomach. Some of his brain-rotted sycophants worship him more than their own religion, so I knew that if he'd been killed, there was a significant chance that the delicate political situation in the US would've devolved even further. So it's good that the shooter missed his target and bad that he even took the shot in the first place.
