I lack the expertise to discuss guns or American politics in detail, but let me be crystal clear: no one, regardless of their political affiliation or role, deserves to be assassinated. Such heinous and abhorrent acts of violence are entirely unacceptable and fundamentally erode the core values of a civilized society.
Trust me, self-declared experts will have a field day with the attempted assassination of Trump, throwing accusations, hatching conspiracy theories, and jokers will be flooding the internet with memes. Some people will even exploit it for political gain, as the tweet above shows. Others will have their own machinations to profit from the shooting – within hours Chinese e-commerce sites were already selling t-shirts imprinted with pictures of a bleeding Trump.
It’s a pathetic world we live in.
