Train Wreck Says He'll Visit Train Wreck

By Baxter

Is it true? Benedict Donald has announced he'll visit the site of the ghastly train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, next week?

We cats say, no way. First, any time Trump has visited a disaster, it's turned out to be a paper-towel-throwing disaster in itself. Donald Trump does not mix well with beleaguered survivors. He has no natural talent for empathy (or any other human emotion).

Second, even though we understand he wants to beat other Republicans to the scene of the crime, the press will descend — and any questions that they'll have will be about (we hope) the Atlanta grand jury, or Jack Smith, Tish James or E. Jean Carroll. Nothing else.

Since the announcement was about "next week," we'll believe it when we see it. Right now, we think the chances of Trump actually going through with it are about 50-50. We'll be happy to be wrong — but only if the media ask him about all of the subjects listed above. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
