@Terry I am honestly flabbergasted at all of these right-wing, far right-wing politicians that never seem to anticipate someone trying to bump them off. It's the same here in Europe, too. No one thinks "I'm going up against the hegemon... someone WILL try to kill me." But that should be the base assumption of an influental opposition politician, always.

@thiwhitkening @Terry Normalcy bias, politics isn't normally a violent affair in the west so they don't the survival instincts of rulers of old who wouldn't dare to depend on something as independent as the Secret Service who's checks come from the state, instead hiring his most trusted men personally.

@thiwhitkening whole thing is fucked up

@Terry To be fair, Trump probably stood up on his own. The first image I saw of this was a bloodied Trump standing up, giving a thumbs up while surrounded by security. Important to generate an image like that, instead of huddling like a bitch.
Ideally he would have finished the speech/event like Roosevelt, but what can you do.
