Good for Pres Trump, he’s OUR fighter.

I’m still trying to figure out why they (SS) threw his shoes on the ground, off of podium.

I'd guess one of those keystone kopettes was scared she'd trip over them.

Removing a trip hazard would be my guess.

Probably two reasons:

1. Trip hazard.
2. In the heat of the moment, they may not have recognized them as Trump’s and wanted any unknown object out of the way.

I’ve been in an active shooter situation. Your focus is on your survival and the survival of those “friendlies” around you. Everything else is insignificant.

I can and do fault them for a number of outrageous fails; the shoes are not one of them.

I liked the vids of when Trump arrived at the hospital.

The ER staff only knew that Trump was shot.

Then they started cheering when he came out of the Beast.

“He’s walking! He’s walking!”
