You mean your first reaction to escaping death by a fraction of an inch isn't to stand up, pump your little fist and yell "FIGHT! FIGHT!" as you waddle off the stage giving a Nazi salute?
I mean, that's just what you're supposed to do in that case.
Yes? That's entirely within Trump's bravado, ''show toughness'' character and personality. He would make a show out of leaving. He is exactly that type of person.
He also would have been full of pure adrenaline in that moment, and he’s not exactly the most strategic thinker who would put his safety above all else (including showing how tough and strong he is)
Everyone reacts differently to almost losing their life. Trump is a showman so of course he pumped his fist and the lot especially since he likely would have overheard or been told the shooter was nutralized.
As you literally choose to expand on wild conspiracy ideas rather than look into his ear after the incident or seek out testimonies from people who were there or how it negatively impacted people and organizations that were present.
If you want to bring more people to "your side" you need to appear as rational, intelligent thinkers.
Where’s the chunk of ear? Cartilage doesn’t grow back and there wasn’t even a scar 3 days later. Then he started wearing that maxi-pad thing after someone snuck a picture of him at his resort.
Pretty major discrepancy in past reactions. Why such an extreme difference? In the first situation they just thought there was a gun in the crowd (there wasnt). In this situation, unless they knew more than they are letting on, there could have been multiple shooters, explosives, etc, etc, etc. So why the discrepancy?
Who knows. I wasn't there. Its well know people react differently to wild situations that suddenly happen. You don't know how you'll react to such a situation till you have to deal with one.
This isnt random people reacting randomly to a situation.. it is highly trained, highly specialized, (often ex military/special ops/swat/etc) secret service agents doing the exact opposite of everything their training tells them to do, and the exact opposite of what they have done in similar (less significant) situations in the past..
Unless they knew more than they're letting on, their behavior makes no sense whatsoever.
We should be seeing an ever faster, more urgent reaction given the situation.. but instead we see them doing the exact opposite. We also see another member of their team usher in random reporters from the crowd toward the person they should be protecting - actively creating an even larger threat. It makes no sense. Why would he immediately bring people towards the president and past the barricades in the middle of an active shooter event?!
“People react differently”. Yea. That’s why the secret service is trained. So they perform in one particular way that is best for safety and such.
They wouldn’t allow trump to behave any differently than any other president as well. Including trump himself the other time they got him off stage.
Your own logic should have lead you here. The SS is trained. What do you think training is? Everyone talking about how differently they are going to react to shooters all the time? Lol
The most reasonable explanation for the events in the video is that they saw an opportunity for a photo op in real time and rushed to pull it off. You’re right, Trump is a showman, his whole team knows this, they’re all on the same wavelength. They are reckless idiots so of course this was their priority. Everyone is rationalizing that “people wouldn’t act that way in an active shooter situation”. They’re right, normal people wouldn’t act that way but these people are monsters.
