Conquerers Beware

This mystery of who killed JFK still remains unsolved. The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone, but some believe that Oswald’s connection to Cuba was more than a coincidence. JFK did attempt to invade Cuba in the now infamous Bay of Pigs incident.

If anything were to happen to Trump, the right-wingers would love nothing more than to blame it on a woke liberal with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Odds are, though, that if there were to be an unhinged assailant, it’s far more likely to be a nut-case from his own party. You don’t have to look any further than the incident that nicked Trump’s ear in Wilkes-Barre, PA, or Utah Valley University and Charlie Kirk’s unfortunate demise to find examples of disgruntled MAGAs with a gun and an axe to grind.

As recently as yesterday, Trump, having visions of grandeur, waxed poetically from Air Force One about taking over Colombia, Cuba, Greenland, Iran, and Mexico, in addition to his recent ‘capture’ of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. Greenland wasn’t a huge surprise, as he’s shared his unfiltered thoughts about a hostile takeover there in the past, but the others on the list are new territory for him.

The problem for right-wingers, then, is that once your leader threatens over eight percent of the world’s population with hostile takeover, it will be much harder to blame it on a bleeding heart liberal in your own country. The Secret Service would be wise to hire more personnel to keep an eye on Pelé (that’s what his caddies call him, because he kicks his golf ball out from behind trees), lest he suffer the same fate as the guy who pissed off Castro.
