Democrats have spent the times since a Republican took a shot at Trump at a rally in Butler, PA calling for the political temperature to be turned down and for extra unity within the nation.
Republicans responded to those calls by chanting combat as Donald Trump made his entrance on the occasion conference.
As Lee Greenwood warbled his horrible Proud To Be An American, which is a tune that sucked within the Nineteen Eighties and has one way or the other managed to suck much more in 2024, Trump was greeted with chants of combat.
Who precisely is Trump imagined to be combating? The Republicans who appear to need him useless, or the Secret Service for taking away his sneakers? Might be his teleprompter for chopping his ear?
We don’t know. Evening one of many Republican conference has featured the kind of poisonous extremism that those that observe politics anticipate from Trump’s occasion.
Those that don’t observe politics had been in all probability questioning if the Teamsters president was misplaced as he spent a speech rambling about points that Republicans oppose.
America is getting recent dose of Trump’s darkish imaginative and prescient for them, and they need to reject it.
