Succinctly written, thanks.

The fact that a mindless act of violence has shifted some media focus from legitimate criticism of Trump to undeserved hero worship of Trump underlines everything wrong with the USA. 
A trajectory that has been spiralling down since the US decided it alone had won WWII and it now needed to spend its history finding another WWII to "win".

Shame the rest of us have to share the planet with the childish, insane and nuclear armed US Commander in Chief off to confront the childish, insane and nuclear armed Korean Commander in Chief.
