    You guys are hilarious.
    I agree with you. Our brains wouldn't have the bandwidth. That's him defaulting to him being him.

      I agree mainstream media and democrats' rhetoric about Trump being a fascist or even second coming of Hitler has been wrong and damaging to our country. I said that in a post here just the other day. I expect it to be greatly reduced now.

        This is an unmitigated disaster for the democrats. Jesus, the New Yorker is comparing Trump's fist pumping shot with the flag and a blue sky above his head to the Iwo Jima memorial. (It's the first thing I, a great fan of the Iwo Jima, thought of.)

        In contrast, look at Biden.

        The bloodied former President, his fist raised, flanked by an American flag, is already an indelible portrait of our era of political crisis and conflict.

          Literally none one here is saying or expecting that. His reaction is the perfect window to his psyche. Nothing more, nothing less. In fact we're being somewhat charitable to him. I know I'm not expecting him to think things through when he gets shot. Trump is who he is, he's going to react the way we expect him to, and his audience will do likewise.

          I don't know why you keep thinking I'm saying anything more than this.

            No. This is not you agreeing with me.

            I would explain it further, but YO would call me out for being pedantic and annoying.

              That picture would win a prize… if the subject was someone other than Trump.

                Either way, you are judging a guy for an emotional reaction to being shot in the head. If you can't see how absurd that is, I give up.

                  Yeah, I genuinely don't get it. I never inferred he was orchestrating a planned response but that it just happened. I viewed it as automatic.

                    Ah man I was going to reference YO's pedantic post if you replied again! Honest, I was just thinking about it in the shower. Can I get at least some credit?

                      I don't know, fellas. That was pretty badass to hop up and shake his fist to the sky. Not only did he show fight, vigor, and determination in the face of danger he also dispelled any notion that he's Hitler because he didn't do that kind of salute.

                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
