Donald J. Trump professes to be the smartest man in human history, who studied at the best schools, who knows the best words, who surrounds himself with the best people.

Still, the dude cannot schedule a political rally without tripping all over himself. He had planned to resume his campaigning for re-election in Tulsa, Okla., this coming Friday. It’s Juneteenth, the day African-Americans learned in 1865 that they had been freed from slavery. Oh, and then he would stage the rally in the city that is the scene in May 1921 of the nation’s worst race riot, killing dozens of African-Americans.

As has been said: Oops! Trump now has moved the rally to Saturday. He says he is moving it “out of respect” for Juneteenth and the significance it holds for African-Americans.

Let’s get real here.

Donald Trump doesn’t “respect” anyone or anything other than himself. He moved the date because someone on his team told him he’d better do it or else he would inflict a potentially mortal wound to his re-election effort.

Still, that Trump would schedule a return to live campaigning in Tulsa, on Juneteenth without understanding the hideous juxtaposition of the location and the historical significance of the date is mind-boggling in the extreme.

There’s all of that, plus the notion of Trump bringing his devotees into a 19,000-seat arena, packing ’em in there like sardines. Not to worry, as the Trump team is demanding attendees sign an agreement that they won’t sue the Trump 2020 campaign if they are stricken by COVID-19.

This is the product of the smartest man on Earth? Hardly.

It’s the result of a man obsessed only with one thing … his political future. To think that Donald Trump began his presidential quest by declaring to the world that he is “not a politician.”

My a**!
