Let Trump Talk

I'm not talking about rescinding the gag order on Donald Trump in the 2016 election-interference case.  I'm just talking about letting Trump say anything he wants on the campaign trail.

Why?  Well, let me put it this way.  The push to electrify transportation modes has apparently been extended to watercraft, which means that gasoline-powered boats would also give way to boats that run on electricity.  One could make a reasonable and defensible argument against electric watercraft due to the perils of the large batteries the motors would require in place of gasoline powering internal-combustion engines, such as possible electrocution in an accident.  But only Trump, in addressing such a concern, would suggest that the battery would make the boat heavier and prone to sinking with the possibility of a shark ten yards away and suggest preferring electrocution over being eaten by a shark.  And only Trump, rather than talk about people's concerns would go on a rant about boats, sharks and batteries in a landlocked state like Nevada, in a desert city like Las Vegas, near the Colorado River, made unnavigable by the Hoover Dam, which forms Lake Mead, made unnavigable by rapidly declining water levels.  And with plenty of fish, but no sharks.

Incoherent rants like this one are exactly what the campaign wants.  The Biden campaign.

A lot of people are upset that, of the four indictments against Trump, only one has yielded a trial (which found Trump guilty of election interference in 2016).  The Supreme Court has paused the 2020 election interference case to decide whether Trump has presidential immunity regarding the events of January 6, Trump's lawyers have paused the Georgia racketeering case to get Fani Willis off it, and Judge Aileen Cannon has paused the classified-documents case in Florida.  But, as the 2016 election interference case proved, Trump can't talk much, he can't do much campaigning, and he can't run off at the mouth so much while he's on trial for something.  With no trials scheduled for the immediate future (and possibly for the twelfth of never if Trump wins back the White House), Trump is now free to have more rallies like the one in Las Vegas and say more stupid things about sharks, pizza, false teeth, old shoes, lunch, missing lunch, crab cakes, Lapland, recorders, otters . . . purple things in general . . . and thirty thousand clowns eating bananas. And the Biden campaign will have plenty of material for ads, meaning that Trump, by delaying the other three trials, has put himself in a trap. 

And maybe he'll keep ranting about sharks.    

Hee-GOTCHA! 😃
