Former President Donald Trump emerged from an assassination attempt, his right ear pierced, blood smeared across his face, and his fist defiantly in the air on Saturday evening in Butler, Pennsylvania.
However, in the aftermath of the shooting — in which the 45th president’s brain was missed by mere inches — he “turned down the most obvious opportunity in politics to inflame the nation,” Tucker Carlson said during his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Thursday.
“I reached out to Trump within hours of it [the assassination attempt] that night. And what he said to me that night — having just been shot in the face — he said not a single word about himself,” said the former Fox News host and creator of the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN). “He said only how amazed he was and how proud he was of the crowd, which didn’t run.”
“And I thought two things. The first thing I thought was, ‘Well, of course they didn’t run. His courage gave them heart. A leader’s courage gives courage to his people,’” he continued. “And the second thing I thought was, ‘This is the selfish guy I’ve been hearing about for nine years? Really, not a word about himself?’ About his people, period,” he continued. More
Trump’s history is full of times he helped the other guy just out of the goodness of his heart.
And I have a feeling that close a call changes you.
“He said only how amazed he was and how proud he was of the crowd, which didn’t run.”
…Im not surprised the crowd didnt run. President Trump draws his support from policemen and firefighters and soldiers and sailors, men and women who by nature and vocation dont run FROM danger, but if they run at all they run TOWARDS it. Remember when the Fibbies shot people up in Vegas and some of the crowd ran to their trucks to get rifles to return fire?
Thats THIS President’s crowd.
Like that ER doctor who treated the Democrat murdered Corey Comperatore, whos funeral is today,
https://www.wtae.com/article/corey-comperatore-funeral-procession-trump-rally/61636116
we are people who step UP instead of OUT, show courage instead of cowardice, and with Christian concern care for our fellow man whatever the danger, secure in the knowlege that they can’t kill our souls.
THOSE are the people who did not run.
…but to those folks who think the President was inciting with his fist bump, think AGAIN.
The man KNEW if we thought he was dead, that blood would run in the streets all over the Nation from the Communists that wanted him dead. He had to prove IMMEDIATELY that he was OK to forestall absolute global pandemoneum, and did so with a courage his enemies will NEVER understand, exposing himself fully to another shot to prevent a civil war.
Which he did without hesitation or concern for himself.
Those Communists who wished him dead should fall down and worship whatever false god they follow that he did that, or there’d be a WHOLE lot less of them today and the rest in hiding, and we’d have a HUGE bloodborne pathogen/toxic waste cleanup to handle today.
President Trump is no coward. His supporters are not craven.
And thats something that cant even be fathomed by those who eternally judge others by themselves.
“Well, of course they didn’t run. His courage gave them heart. A leader’s courage gives courage to his people”
There it is. It’s been happening for 9 years.
“we are people who step UP instead of OUT, show courage instead of cowardice, and with Christian concern care for our fellow man whatever the danger, secure in the knowlege that they can’t kill our souls.”
A golden opportunity for each of us to recheck our personal compasses. What is the meaning of our lives, and who is in control of all things.
Thank you, Lord.
Tucker quote. “God is Among Us.”

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
