Mike's Minute: The Trump shooting was an unbelievable moment in history
Manage episode 428922007 series 2098285
Obviously you can't make this stuff up.
Buried deep in the crisis that is Joe Biden and his inability to look anything close to a presidential candidate, we are then distracted by the other bloke getting shot.
Was something as ugly as this always bound to happen? Is America that broken?
Trump obviously is not the first, but its been a long time since Ronald Reagan.
A couple of odd things - why were his shoes off? Why do your shoes come off when you hit the ground? This is not to diminish or take away from the seriousness of the event, but it seems odd.
As regards his reaction, working for him is the fact he was able to get up, raise his fist and yell out numerous times the word “fight”.
When age is an issue in a campaign and you have the energy to take a graze, get up and raise your fist and turn it into a photo opportunity, that's going to play exceedingly well for you.
He looks like a fighter.
He is also, I assume, exceedingly lucky to be alive, given whatever hit him didn’t hit him properly.
Which then leads to the question - how do you change your campaign going forward, security wise?
Obviously the convention this week will be well locked down.
But November is a long way away and a lot of rallies need to be held. As much security as Trump had yesterday, it wasn’t enough to stop someone crazy having a crack.
On security, although it didn’t stop it, you had to see the swarm to believe it. They were nowhere to be seen, until they came from everywhere.
Good luck trying to get into something presidential going forward.
None of this course plays well for America.
The current president is in severe and obvious decline and seemingly refusing to go anywhere as his party implodes with panic. In the meantime, the guy against him is a shooting victim.
What does that say about the country and its place in the world?
The U.S presidential campaign of 2024 - if you think you can guess what happens next, you're dreaming.
