If so, I wonder if he lived to tell about it.

I wonder if, in the overall scheme of things, that grunt's lucklessness turned out to be pre-ordained -- starting ironically, with trump's birth.

Unpredictable are the moods of fate.

And so, as fate has it, it's a tale of two shots here. One of them being last week's live shot staged at NATO headquarters in Brussels made an awkward spectacle by an ignorant draft-evader masquerading as a full-fledged, big-shot American commander-in-chief.

And the other -- also a live shot -- that might have taken place some fifty odd years ago in the heart of the Mekong Delta. This one delivered perhaps, from the barrel of a Soviet-built AK 47.

Meanwhile, the flurry of attention that was focused on trump's live-shot photo fiasco last week added yet another spotlight on next-level nature of the man's overall douche-baggery.

But with Jared Kushner -- his ace son-in-law-turned-presidential duties-monkey -- currently wading neck deep in hot water (something to do with acquiring space within Soviet diplomatic facilities, secret back-channels and, you guessed it, Vladimir Putin) I guess that for trump, right now just about any diversion will do.
