Even Fox News Is Playing Up Trump’s Anti-Labor Stance

If nothing else Trump has accomplished at least one thing that strokes his ego. No matter how big a POS he is as a human, businessman, president, he will always be remembered one way or another in the history of the United States. I believe that in and of itself is satisfying to his legacy although truly horrific. The stain to our country and its republic and the world will always be with us much to our dismay. Only by burying him at the voting both can we at least declare this nightmare is over.

“Gone is the possibility of a Reagan/Mondale blowout, which is what Trump thought would be his just reward after his ear got nicked in an assassination attempt.”

I would really love to know who put that thought into Trump’s little brain in the first place. The attempted assassination of Reagan (which saw him take a bullet to the chest–it fractured a rib and punctured a lung, causing serious internal bleeding) took place a little more than 2 months into the start of his first term. It played NO ROLE in Reagan’s 1984 reelection. Absolutely NONE.

And, if anything, the law enforcement folks who KILLED Trump’s “assassin” really screwed the pooch. Yes, this was the first attempted assassination of an American “political” figure since Reagan but, oddly enough, the Secret Service and the Washington DC police managed to CAPTURE Reagan’s attempted assassin, and put the guy on trial. And, pretty much every other major assassination in the last 60 years, whether just attempted or successful, has seen the assassin CAPTURED by law enforcement–and since JFK’s assassination, the only assassin who failed to stand trial (prior to the attempt on Trump) was Lee Harvey Oswald who was effectively assassinated as well, while in custody. RFK’s assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, was captured, tried and imprisoned (where he remains to this day). Martin Luther King’s assassin, James Earl Ray, was captured and imprisoned (he pleaded guilty thus avoiding a jury trial) and he died in prison (after serving 29 years of his original 99-year sentence). George Wallace’s assassin, Arthur Bremer, was caught, tried and imprisoned for 53 years (originally, the sentence was 63 years but reduced following an appeal) and he served 35 years before being released to serve probation (which ends next year). Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme and Sara Jane Moore, the attempted assassins of Gerald Ford, were both caught, tried and imprisoned for their crimes; both would eventually be released on parole (in 2009 and 2007, respectively; interestingly, Ford died before either was paroled). And, then of course, John Hinckley who attempted to assassinate Reagan. Captured, tried and imprisoned–well, placed in a psychiatric facility, having been found “not guilty by reason of insanity”–until 2016. Hell, even John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman, was captured, tried and imprisoned.

But, the attempted assassin of Donald Trump was killed so NO ONE will ever know his real motivations or reasons (or why he seemed to be checking out Biden rallies–or so the media reported but, somehow has gone by the wayside in the weeks since). And every single one of those other assassins either managed to seriously wound or kill their targets (a little ironically, with the sole exception of Gerald Ford) and get captured by law enforcement.
