This was it!! A Kennedy moment for the post-millennials. Because ‘everyone always remembers exactly where they were when Kennedy was shot’. And nothing since then has been remotely as memorable. And that’s 61 years ago. Yet realistically, the rest of the 1960s was in black and white, then, as they say ‘if you remember the 70s then you weren’t part of it’, and once the 80s came everyone tried their utmost to forget the whole ‘New Romantic’ thing. So now we finally have our moment. “We all remember exactly where we were when Trump got shot”. And how we immediately wondered how the fuck anyone could miss such a massive target. He is not only ‘as wide as a barn door’ but he’s painted bright orange. The perfect target.

Following this tragedy (tragic because he missed) Once President Trump was rushed to hospital where they later declared that The First Ear Lobe will survive this assassination attempt. And Mr Trump hardly cried at all as they stuck the plaster on. He was a very brave boy.

Trump later posted on ‘X’ what a terrible thing to happen and, ‘how could such a thing happen in America??’

I’m no expert but I reckon it’s got something to do with guns. Those same guns which Trump, when president, refused ever to see as ‘part of the problem’ when school kids were getting machine-gunned in their classrooms and concerts became killing fields. The guns aren’t the problem, the fat guy said, we need to address mental illness. Which they do. But having 433 million guns in a country with a population of 360 million may have just a slight impact on… issues where shooting is concerned.

Trump can’t ever offend the gun lobby, the NRA and other right wing arms manufacturers who fund his campaigns and demand their quid pro quo. Anything that threatens the domestic arms trade is simply off the table for any republican politician.

So inevitably, this shit occurs.

Police are looking for a partially sighted Democrat with a tremor in both hands.

Well, actually they found him and shot him, obviously. Its America.

The assassination attempt will have no effect on the men’s final at Wimbledon today, nor the Euro final in Berlin this evening. Unfortunately, Trump is coming home.

Happy Sunday
