Like every decent American, I was horrified to hear of the assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump on Saturday. Like so many others, I am concerned for our nation, which literally came an inch from turmoil the likes of which we have not seen in decades. And I am grateful that so many public figures and institutions, from politicians to major media outlets, have spoken up to denounce political violence without reservation.
