Most media sites have a front page headline today to the effect that the FBI and other agencies are searching for a motive for the Saturday attack on Donald Trump's ear.

A motive. Damn! That's a toughie. What could possibly motivate a lonely young bed-pan changing ammosexual to steal his Libertarian father's AR-15 and shoot up a Trump rally?

It couldn't be that Trump caused the overturning of Roe v Wade by stacking the Supreme Court with liars, such that millions of women are now in medical peril....

....or Trump's science denial/lunacy resulted in the deaths and long term illness of tens of thousands of Americans from Covid.

...or Trump's pandering to christian nationalists, furthering the elimination of the separation of church state.

...or that Trump is a bully who regularly denigrates wide swaths of American citizens.

OTOH, it's possible he was an Alex Jones fan. "It turns out that the idea that a Trump assassination would be somehow beneficial for the right was actually advanced publicly five months ago, according to right-wing watch group Patriot Takes. On Infowars, Alex Jones and a guest spoke openly about how a Trump assassination would be “so much better for us and so much worse for them” because it would lead to retaliatory in-kind assassinations of a “deep state” list that included President Joe Biden. It’s just the kind of insane idea that a young and troubled zealot might attempt."
