There can be no doubt that Donald Trump has returned — once more! — to the forefront of our political stage.
I wish it weren’t so. My wishing, though, simply cannot deny the obvious.
The U.S. House 1/6 select committee has convened public hearings on national TV. We’ll get Episode Two tomorrow morning. Who’s at the top of our attention span? The Donald! Of course he is!
The House panel appears to be building a case for indicting Trump for inciting the insurrection of 1/6. Members of the committee have yapped about the panel having enough evidence to recommend an indictment; I hope that speculation will cease. It’s not productive.
I guess Trump must like being the focus of our attention. It’s his modus operandi, or so I’ve been led to believe. He is, after all, a supreme narcissist, which by definition means he relishes this attention.
Whatever.
For as long as the winds keep drafting over Trump, I’ll be forced to comment on occasion on issues that develop regarding this carnival barker. I pledge to look the other way when he blathers some nonsense. As it relates to the committee and its findings, I intend to offer my views — for whatever they’re worth — on what they mean to the future of our democratic process.
Still, if only Trump would just disappear.
