The National Review on Friday, the day before an assassin’s bullet narrowly missed his head:
Now, Donald Trump is set to face either a politically crippled Joe Biden, who the entire country thinks is too old to do the job, or a swapped-in nominee (Kamala Harris? Someone else?) who might be leading a Democratic Party that is fractured by Biden’s reluctance to go quietly, or riven by Biden’s Israel–Gaza policy, or at war with itself over the decision to replace the black and female Harris with an electable alternative.
Donald Trump, of course, has his own talents that aid his quest for political power: his animal cunning, his genius for self-promotion and hype, and his inability to feel shame or embarrassment.
But has there ever been a luckier man who has pursued higher office? One could almost believe that the universe is conspiring to put Donald Trump in the Oval Office.
