General rule of thumb. Before you get upset over whatever silly thing Donald Trump (or the Trump Admin) says or does on social media, count to ten and wait until the overreaction to said silly thing. It makes your content viewing experience that much more enjoyable, especially when Trump responds to a reporter who treats the outrage as if it's the most pressing issue facing all the United States of the Americas today.

At issue is this post from the White House looking to influence the College of Cardinals as they kibitz over who the next Pope should be.

As Catholics, people were offended. Or, "offended." Sure, it wasn't anyone who didn't dislike Donald Trump before this post. There were a lot of Democrat officials and slacktivists who support abortion until crowning, yet claim a silly AI-generated image is what offended their Catholicism. But there were more than a few of them, they expressed their outrage on Cousin Elon's X, and it gave journalismers all they needed to create that day's "ThIs Is NoT nOrMaL" anti-Trump content.

Trump responded to a reporter's question with perfection during a press conference about the NFL draft coming to Washington DC.

You don't mean the Catholics, you mean the fake news media. The Catholics loved it. Maybe it was AI... my wife thought it was cute. ... Give me a break. Somebody did it in fun.

However, as perfect as Trump's response to a smug reporter was, JD Vance's response to Never Trump forefather Bill Kristol was perfecter. Also, a killshot. FIGUREATIVELY!

My personal opinion on the entire brouhaha (if I may invoke a little French)? Meh. My response to anti-Trump friends who used this as their reason du jour to question me if I'm offended yet is that, sure, I wish they'd stop doing things like this that I find are childish and beneath the office. But that's not the world we live in, and, more importantly, it doesn't change the fact that Donald Trump remains the far superior choice to Kamala Harris or The People Who Controlled Joe Biden.
