The idea of Trump ever actually firing a gun is amusing. His soft, tiny hands would sting and he’d be like “Holy shit, that was Loud!” And that would be the end of that.

Trump told a French magazine in 2016 that he “always” carries a gun, adding that he would have tried to stop the shooters who attacked the Bataclan nightclub in Paris in 2015.

Yeah, OK. Trump would be the person to run in the other direction, knocking over the elderly and children to get away.

I won’t watch the speech, but it’s a lock it’ll hilariously devolve into some long, disjointed harangue summarized as “I was robbed!!”

I know we’ll hear a lot about Mental Illness but I wonder if we’ll also hear underbussing of the cops who opted not to risk their lives to stop the shooter. Could see that one going either way.

[Trump justified his appearance by suggesting that the country needs “real solutions and real leadership” instead of “politicians and partisanship.”

“In the meantime, we all continue to pray for the victims, their families, and for our entire nation — we are all in this together!” Trump wrote.]

I was all set to read the whole thing…except I looked down at the words, “Trump wrote”
