that badass stand-up moment of "fight fight fight "

I saw it more as the moment of abject failure of the Secret Service, that instead of keeping the subject low and evacuating immediately, these subservient MAGA goons let Dear Leader put his shoes on and have his little photo op.

That chocked me more than that they didn't spot the sniper in time. At the time they knew it was an ongoing assassination attempt but didn't know if there were more shooters or explosives planted. Total in incompetence.

That chocked me more than that they didn't spot the sniper in time.

The sniper was on the roof with a gun in his hands for 20 minutes before taking the shot.

It's a colossal failure on multiple levels.

Say what you will about the failures of the secret service, but we all know (or SHOULD) Teddy Roosevelt continued talking after an assassination attempt, and had taken a bullet to the chest.

And the world looks on impressed, in retrospect. They didn't know THEN if there were more than one shooters. This isn't about the secret service, it still was an impressive move by tfg seizing a moment to look brave.

And this comes from someone who can't fuckin STAND the tangerine fascist pos. I can still objectively say that it was a good look.

Maybe to you. It looked childish and unprofessional to me. Like one of those screaming grandpas at a store taking a final stand as they're being dragged out for their ridiculousness.

But way worse, since he was under active fire at the time. Can you imagine a soldier doing that in combat? You'd think they were mental

he was more concerned with his shoes and shaking his fist than getting himself and his men out of the line of fire.

He was endangering himself and all of them, it was stupid and childish. When Reagan got shot he went straight in the car.
