I’m not sure how much it will matter, with regard to the shooter’s back story. Trump was grazed, most likely emboldened, and, as with everything else, he will use this to his advantage—to play himself up as a brave soldier for the cause…, or to make an appeal to his gun-toting base, who have always been looking for a reason to dust off their weaponry.
When it first happened, I was thinking maybe it was all staged, wasn’t sure what I was watching, but a dead spectator would seem to put the kibosh on that theory.
There’s always the possibility that this serves as a wake-up call for Trump, causes him to reel in the invective or maybe even think twice about continuing.
That’s funny.
We all saw him raise his fist or wave to the crowd as secret service agents were hustling him from the stage. He was already playing it up. And the crowd was delirious.
