It comes as no surprise, but Doanld Trump failed badly once again, this time in his reaction to the horrendous mass murder on the crowded streets of New Orleans on New Year's Eve.
While Joe Biden - senile or not - gave a compassionate, measured and factual statement on national TV about the incident, Trump made a tweet (or whatever you want to call it) on his tame mouthpiece Truth Social, saying among other nonsense, "This what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually non-existent leadership".
Unfortunately, the perpetrator of the attack, one Shamsud-Din Jabbar, is an American citizen, born in Texas, and even served in the US military for years. Immigration, then, didn't come into it.
Trump obviously did exactly what Joe Biden warned against, and jumped to conclusions. He probably saw a foreign-sounding name, or saw a picture of a swarthy, bearded guy, and didn't bother listening further. He was more interested in scoring cheap political points, regardless of accuracy or decency.
And this is the guy that a majority of US adults voted into power. Shame on them.
