Ukrainian President Zelensky has condemned the second alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump in two months, expressing relief that the former president is safe and reminding everyone that political violence simply isn’t a good look.

With the alleged assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, showcasing more firepower than sense by waving an AK-47 on a Florida golf course, Zelensky's condemnation underscores a universal truth: whether in Kyiv or Mar-a-Lago, political disagreements should stay on the debate stage and off the battlefield. His remarks echo a collective global sentiment that despite our differences, no one deserves a bullet for their beliefs—even if those beliefs come with a side of golf.

Zelensky, who has had his fair share of political drama involving guns and geopolitics, extended his best wishes to Trump, commenting on the absurdity of such actions. "I’m glad to hear he is safe and unharmed," Zelensky stated, perhaps hinting that dodging political bullets is a shared talent among leaders around the world. It's a talent not just limited to those in fragile democracies, but often finds its way right onto American greens as well.

In a world where political violence breeds more chaos than clarity, Zelensky emphasized that the rule of law stands as an unwavering principle. "Political violence has no place anywhere in the world," he asserted. It might come across as shocking, but one might wonder if such sentiments could potentially spark a new trend in U.S. politics: civil discourse sans weapons. What a concept!

Ryan Wesley Routh had previously traveled to Ukraine to support the war against Russia. Routh was arrested after allegedly pointing an AK-47 at Trump while he was golfing in Florida. According to local sources, golf clubs are typically used to improve one’s swing, not take aim at pretenders in a faux back nine confrontation.

Routh’s arrest after allegedly pointing his rifle at Trump has, naturally, attracted more than just local Law & Order reruns. This incident marks the second assassination attempt on Trump in a span of just two months. The first attempted strike, this time in Pennsylvania, didn't exactly set the tone for a peaceful summer political break. Some might argue it's a new competitive sport in American politics: Who can dodge the most bullets while still remaining relevant?

As if an attempted murder at a golf course wasn't enough drama, Zelensky’s sentiments were echoed by other major political players. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also expressed their dismay over the violent freakshow ensuing in their midst, with thoughts likely not trending towards the serenity of a 19th hole cocktail but rather a much-needed chat on civility and respect. Mimosas and political intolerance don’t mix well, particularly over a game of golf.

In an unexpected twist, Routh claimed he was not just a regular citizen but a soldier willing to fight against the Russian forces. As he artfully brandished his weapon, one might question his understanding of recruitment tactics versus intimidation techniques. Perhaps he should have opted for handing out pamphlets rather than pointing firearms at public figures. It's a thought process reminiscent of a misguided fantasy where real-life support requires a dramatic flair, complete with props.

In the cacophony of condemnation and charges transpiring in the U.S., Zelensky holds a mirror to the absurdity of it all. It isn't just about Trump or his safety; it’s about preserving the standards of political conflict. No matter the stage or the players, leaders like Zelensky remind us that discourse shouldn’t be taken hostage by someone with a penchant for high-stakes theatrics and heavy artillery.

As the dust settles from the latest installment of this real-life soap opera, one thing remains profoundly clear: it's time to re-evaluate how politics is conducted. In a world that often feels like a turbulent storm of geopolitical basketball, perhaps it's time for everyone to disarm and just take a few swings at ideas instead. Golf clubs, after all, were made for putting, not pummeling ideology to death.
