It appears the little SS chick in the picture is trying to hide while Trump shields her.

An image for the ages. Like Washington crossing the Delaware.

Why was this petite Ballerina of a Secret Service Agent assigned to work with a much taller client?
Another bad decision that won’t be acknowledged or punished.
At the same time, I commend the young Lady along with the other Agents for putting their lives on the line for Trump.
That danger was real.

Honestly, I haven’t paid close attention to the news coverage (I figure early reports will not be accurate) so maybe this has been discussed, but I haven’t seen it —

When JFK was killed, there was discussion about the difficulty of the shot and Oswald’s level of skill with that rifle. There were questions about whether he could have done what they said he did. In that incident, there was speculation of a second gunman.

With Trump, I would not guess a second gunman. But it seems like a relatively long shot for a 20-year old Leftist. Yeah, he missed, but he got darn close to a headshot on his first shot. That seems remarkable. Was this kid just a kid? Or is there more to it? I’ve seen some people say that he was not, in fact, a 20-year-old kid.

Surprisingly, they used the only picture that mattered:

It's not that hard to actually post the "iconic image."

You can even make it smaller, if you want.

Appropriate image on the cover. But what Trump survived, I think, would best be described as an “assassination”, not just a shooting.

Very good.

But when was the last time you saw a paper copy of Time, even in a dentist's office?

I a, surprised they were allowed to publish that image or empven say he was shot.

ABC news. “Trump whisked away by secret service after disturbance at rally.”
CBS. “Trump taken away by SS after a fall at rally.”
CNN. “Trump refuses to call for lowering the temperature after political violence.”

Someone is getting fired at Time.

Yes, in today’s world images are more powerful then words.

This photo will be in history books for a very long time.

Will it change people’s mind, perhaps, what I think (hope) will happen is every time someone on the left claims Trump is the next “Hitler” or a “threat to our democracy” someone gets in their face and tell them to just shut up.

An iconic image indeed.

Why is this cover dated August 5, 2024??

The shooting occurred on July 13, three weeks before Aug. 5.

A lot can happen between now and then--the GOP Convention, Trump's selection of a running mate, Biden's dropping out of the race.

In the Internet age, why do Time and other magazines insist on sticking to an outdated predated format? Doesn't make any sense to me.

In a hundred years from now, people will at the news from July 2024 and see nothing of one of the most notable events of the month, as if it had never happened. They will have to look at August's news to find out what occurred the month before.

I called it instantly and knew that was the picture that’ll go down. That’s a very good cover for them, no bias or anything at all.

Part of the power of that image is that suggests the raising of the flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima.
