President Donald Trump says the suspect in the arson attack at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence last weekend was “probably just a whack job.” The president made the comment to reporters yesterday, stating that the suspect, 38-year-old Cody Balmer of Harrisburg, “basically wasn’t a fan of anybody.” Balmer’s mother told CBS News he is mentally ill and was off his medication, but court documents reportedly state that he expressed hatred for Governor Josh Shapiro. Trump said incidents like the fire at the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion early Sunday morning “cannot be allowed to happen.”
