IS THE TRUMP ATTACK ANTIETHICAL TO AMERICA ?

Trump knows how to bend events and circumstance to his advantage.

After yesterday's assassination attempt the former president's ear is already more famous than Van Gogh's. 

He also has the genius to twist events to his advantage. His defiance in pain and shock, his instinct for body language, might already have won him the upcoming presidential election. Imagine Biden in a similar circumstance?

More seriously, America's addiction to guns is sick. Trump's own dubious relationship with the gun lobby came home to roost. Tragically, the vicious macho allure of weaponry is spreading. The most peaceful or placid places everywhere are no longer spared from this other scourge.

In America the fools, the deplorables and the corrupt can now coalesce around their new martyr. Biden might end up looking even older than he is. Yesterday's bullet might well become Trump's unforeseen masterstroke.
