I freely admit that I am feeling a deep sense of schadenfreude, in response to our president’s astonishing moment of shooting himself in the foot today. The advisors of this one-time show host can no longer hide the fact that their boss is a complete idiot.
Today the poor slob actually said (you can’t make this stuff up) that violence in defense of marching with semi-automatic weapons while carrying Nazi flags and shouting anti-Jewish and anti-black slogans is equivalent to violence in opposition to such an ideology. He actually went there. He went to the dark crazy place.
I don’t actually think that this guy is in favor of racist anti-semitic hate mongering. I think it’s more that he literally has no idea that there is an important moral issue at the core of this conversation. He is just that completely out of his depth.
