NEW CIVILITY WATCH: Sick: Tim Walz Publicly Roots for Trump’s Death in Shocking Video.
Over the Labor Day weekend, former vice-presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) demonstrated a disturbing interest in Trump’s health, proving that some on the left are willing to gloat over even the most absurd, unfounded rumors about Trump.
“You get up in the morning and you doom-scroll through things, and — although, I will say this: The last few days, you woke up thinking there might be news. Just saying. Just saying. There will be news sometime, just so you know. There will be news,” he said, dripping with an almost giddy anticipation.

In other words, Walz was caught up in the frenzy of false information and publicly rooting for bad news about the U.S. president with an enthusiasm that should shame any decent public figure. The governor’s manifest delight exemplifies how despicable it is to weaponize baseless rumors and cheer for someone’s potential misfortune or death.
Walz’s public comments betrayed a disturbing glee in the chaos. It is profoundly sick when a politician appears to revel in the speculation of a political opponent’s death. The spectacle was nothing short of a public debasement, a cynical joyride at the expense of common decency.
How odd; Michelle Obama assured me that “when they go low, we go high.”

If history is any guide, you don’t want to live through the death of a sitting President. We’ve built the system to accommodate for it, but it creates chaos, instability, and figurative if not literal violence. Do people really think that Trump won’t leave office after his term is over? He’ll be 82. He’s going to leave. Just like the weather in Chicago, if you don’t like the President, wait a minute.
But people also need to realize that their hatred of Donald Trump doesn’t kill him. It makes him stronger. A more spiteful man has never lived, and he’ll live forever just to spite them.
When he does die, someday, in the far future, some people will mourn, some people will celebrate, but most people’s lives will just go on as if Trump never existed. He’s not your enemy, he’s not your savior. He’s just a President looking for an electorate to love him.
And they will! After he leaves office, the proverbial strange new respect Trump will garner from the left to attack whoever is the current Republican president or presidential candidate will be astounding to watch.
