“For Trump, the suppurating wound on American life, and for those who share his curdled venom, war is a hellacious distraction from their self-absorption. Fortunately, their ability to be major distractions is waning.”

All our current attention rightly focuses on Mr Puti’nhead; but it’s still fun to read George Will on the long fart trail left by the last president.

Floundering in his attempts to wield political power while lacking a political office, Donald Trump looks increasingly like a stray orange hair to be flicked off the nation’s sleeve… [His] interventions in Republican primaries continue to be unimpressive …

A European war is unhelpful for Trump because it reminds voters that Longfellow was right: Life is real, life is earnest … Trump’s strut through presidential politics was made possible by an American reverie; war in Europe has reminded people that politics is serious.

We are the sum of our choices, and Vladimir Putin has provoked some Trump poodles to make illuminating ones. J.D. Vance, groveling for Trump’s benediction (Vance covets Ohio’s Republican Senate nomination), two weeks ago said: “I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine.”
