Sadly, my reaction was, "Oh thank god it was a drunk driver and not an Islamist terrorist who would be Trump's Reichstag Fire."

I'm hoping the same too (for different reasons), because I really don't feel like worrying about going to street parties now.

Not going to lie, at first I read this as:

'Trump rams into Mardi Gras crowd, 20+ injured."

and was thinking, unsurprised,
"what did that bonehead do now, jump into a crowd at a rally, expecting to crowdsurf or something?"
