      This is an amazing photograph.

      And what a stark contrast it presents with the picture in the post. Thank you for including this picture.

          Notice how he didn’t rant about himself being “a hero” or bring this up again later, how he “saved a pregnant woman single handedly”. No, he thanked the people around him.

            And turning to grab her “here you go, you’re ok, I’m right here, I gotcha, you’re ok” and to microphone “This is what happens when I talk too long”

      No no you dont understand. He watches that very well. He is doing exactly what he wanted. Gain power, loot it blank, leaving nothing behind, and run off

    I know it’s easy to see a still image with no context and assume the worst. Below is a YouTube video showing the entire scene.

    Trump did get up when it happened and went over to look at the man. Everyone was already handling it and he turned back around and that’s the still image.

    He even updated the press at the end explaining that the man got light headed but was okay.

      Trump, looks absolutely unconcerned, the way he looks over at the guy on the floor, is really really how someone looks at a dead animal on the side of the road. He looks borderline annoyed.

      Thank you. I really wish people would quit making things up and taking things out of context. There is enough awful stuff going on. Adding fake and out of context junk just makes it harder to get people to believe the real problems when they’re shown.

        I don’t see anything in the video that suggests his reaction is misrepresented in the picture. He stares at the man with apparent frustration and contempt for a few seconds then turns away as shown in the photo.

      Well he’s got form for ignoring people who have hurt themselves. Search up about what he did when an 80 year old guy fell over, hit his head and was bleeding all over the floor.

      spoiler

      He turned away, but commented how it was disgusting. And that his “beautiful marble” was changing colour…

    This scene is definitely going to get dramaticized in the future movie/documentary about Trump. Maybe just a 3 second unmentioned reference, maybe with context, who knows.

    He can’t look at it because he has a psychological issue where he can’t handle any kind of bodily injury or illness. There are lots of stories about his reactions to situations like this, seeing blood, seeing disabled vets or anyone with a physical impairment of any kind, etc.

    I know this isn’t related at all but, all I can picture is Gretchen Whitmer hiding her face behind files and then fainting.

    He had a nice nap in his chair just before this happened, so he’s a bit groggy. He doesn’t know what’s going on. Even if he understood the situation, he wouldn’t have cared.
