The last thing the United States needs right now is another celebrity personality sticking a nose into politics, another person who has never lived the struggles of average Americans developing the policies to fix average lives.

So of course right now is when Peyton Manning surfaces on the political scene, set to flank President Donald Trump at a Senate-House GOP retreat in Philadelphia that began Wednesday. Manning will reportedly speak at the event, part of a lineup that includes Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

Welcome to the perfect way to plunge a society that keeps focusing on the wrong things into further madness. We haven’t even completed its binary inquisition into Patriots QB Tom Brady’s “friendship” with Trump, and now we face an even bigger quandary, we must figure out how to reconcile Manning essentially headlining an event alongside Trump.
