Look, I will make no snide comment about him, myself. He is plainly ill, and suffering — and needs help. It is good that he’s been hospitalized. Maybe he might now begin to repair whatever in him… is so deeply broken — far away from all his firearms.

Even so, it would be logical to infer… that the timing of the release of the top-line, on tonight’s order in DC, enjoining Trump’s attempt to ban TikTok, nationwide. . . looks like more than just coincidental to the sad events just now in Ft. Lauderdale.

And so, for tonight, I am going to completely ignore the Trump avoidance of federal income taxes story in the NYT (though come tomorrow it will properly garner immense attention — about the fitness of the current occupant of 1600 Penn.) — and just remark again, on what a cast of… well, odd ducks Trump seems to spend all his time and energy with, and on. That alone ought to give voters pause: is there anyone in his mal-administration or campaign who is not already… tainted in some significant way? I can think of no one. [Though Mr. Hinderaker and his blogging crew are barely even on the periphery of what might be considered Trumpian… advisors… they each definitively make the odd duck case-in-point, no?]

Finally, some political pundits are suddenly openly speculating that Trump will use this Parscale melt-down as an excuse to skip the Tuesday debate. He certainly won’t want to answer Mr. Biden’s pointed questions, in front of America — when it is equally clear that the Bidens paid over $3 million in taxes last year… while Trump paid… $750.

Personally, I’d think a no show is… unlikely. If Trump is a no show at the debate — it means he is conceding a landslide loss, 35 days before it transpires. We shall see. Do keep a good thought for this man — he needs to find his way out of those dark woods he has, in fairness, placed himself deeply into.

…Police have not confirmed that the barricaded man was Parscale, who worked for Trump, but records confirm that the property in the 2300 block of Desota Drive in Fort Lauderdale is owned by Parscale, 44, and his wife, Candice. Local 10 spoke to neighbors in the Seven Isles neighborhood who also said it was the former advisor to the President.

Fort Lauderdale Police responded to a home in reference to an armed male attempting suicide Sunday afternoon. When officers arrived on the scene, they made contact with the wife of the man who told them her husband was armed, had access to multiple firearms inside the house and was threatening to harm himself. She had placed the 911 call, according to police….

I wish him… peace. And, starting tomorrow morning, Trump is likely to have no peace whatsoever — nor should he. A metaphorical Hurricane Katrina, fashioned of all his own collected lies… is now descending on his little house of Go-Fish cards.
