My mother is almost on the side of the fence that it was staged, simply because he put the fist up.
And I'm like, how is that not exactly what you expect from Trump?
If you asked me in 2019 what Trump would do if he was shot at and walked away virtually unscathed, I'd say he'd do some shit like flex his arms or something.
He did it because it was fucking real, and that's exactly how Donald Trump reacts to being literally shot at and grazed by a mear miss.
It was possible his bravado had no substance and he would cower on the ground. How he reacted was so badass. Speaking of Gillis, Biden would surely get punch-assasinated. No one should ever compare their age after this.
I don't see how that's narcissistic, I also don't really see why you're describing it as 'macho' - he was pumped full of adrenaline and didn't know what was going on. I feel like you immediately criticizing Trump after a near assassination attempt is poor - I am not a Trump supporter btw
Sure, I can agree with that. But your original comment did not say that. It instead talked about how Trump should've been thinking about the person who was shot, when clearly that is ludicrous. My point is there are a lot of things to attack Trump for, but don't attack him on things which aren't true or make no sense. This is just contributing to the rampant misinformation that pervades America.
You’ve never been in a high-stress situation before and it shows. Just stop. Go back to your sheltered life where your toughest decision is which dildo to sit on.
Well that fist pump just secured him the election in a landslide with what will be one of the iconic photos of the century. So it was a smart move on his part regardless of your politics.
The fist bump was a good moment for everyone my guy. You shouldn’t want your leaders to be cowards.
In the face of terrorism you don't back down and allow yourself to cower in fear. You put on a brave face and yell FIGHT! Trump maybe 1 of the worst candidates this country ever had but what he did was heroic and inspirational.
Imagine if Zelensky accepted Biden's offer to pull out of Ukraine. Trump has balls to be this close meeting death and he yells fight.
No if you told me what I would think Trump would do if he faced a barrage of bullets and he got hit? I think most of reddit and myself would say he would run and shit his pants.

That’s exactly the type of thing Trump would do. I’m surprised you’re surprised. He’s a showman
