Sunday morning aftermath, 8:26 am: As I said last night, those lobby gunshots gave Trump a sympathy bump, especially among the none-too-brights who decided he was an indestructible messiah after the 2024 Butler shooting. Because they temporarily dissipated the Iran quagmire cloud over his head & gave him an opportunity to look cool, casual and confident…they bestowed a ‘60s Steve McQueen aura…an unruffled, in-command cool cat.
“Thank you, Cole…your ineptitude did me a solid. I’m certainly in better shape this morning, image-wise, than I was last night as I was donning my tux prior to leaving for the dinner. Somebody up there likes me.”
N.Y. Post: The would-be assailant was Cole Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, a South Bay suburb of Los Angeles.
Trump fell to the floor as secret service agents were hustling him off the stage.
