A Wounded Country

The shots intended to kill Donald Trump Saturday evening only grazed him but they gravely wounded American democracy. This at a time our system of government was already reeling from a series of assaults starting with the Jan. 6th insurrection.

The Supreme Court has further undermined democracy with a number of questionable decisions. And today, a Trump-appointed judge has dismissed his classified records case.

Our system of justice is in freefall.

Meanwhile, the main beneficiary of the assassination attempt politically is Trump. At the present time, he seems unstoppable in his quest to return to the White House. Then again, this has been the most troubled election year since 1968, and who knows what further disruptions are yet to come.
