Karma Comes For Trump

Trump becomes a victim of the political violence he has advocated

Oh, the irony. After literally years of advocating violence up to and including executing his perceived enemies, a young man … a registered Republican, no less … tried to execute Trump. Except when you’re an ex-president, it’s called an “assassination attempt.” Executions are only for criminals, right?

Wait.

Trump’s a convicted felon so the media is wrong. They should be referring to this as an attempted execution, not an attempted assassination.

Whatever the semantics, I keep saying that Karma always, always comes back and bites you in the ass. And while she … cuz you know that Karma is a she … may not have bitten Trump in the ass … did the diaper get in the way? … she did take out a chunk of his ear. Just a little scar to remind him of her wrath.

This is exactly what happens when you whip national emotions up into a frenzy. Emotions are blunt instruments that when loosed, cannot be aimed or controlled. In this case, Trump got everyone all riled up about vengeance against perceived enemies and someone who perceived him as an enemy tried to get a little vengeance.

Of course, the MAGA crowd doesn’t see it that way. They are blaming the Democrats. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio…
