"Donald Trump's habitual sleaziness is so repugnant that it erases any sympathy he might deserve—even when he's the clear target of violence, as he was this weekend."

Donald Trump faced a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents Dinner, marking the third assassination attempt against him in two years.
