Idon’t care what you think of his politics—former President Donald Trump just struck one of the most iconic poses in U.S. history.

His fist-raised salute of defiance is surely enough to win him re-election to the White House. Especially if the American people have to choose between a doddering incumbent and the man who got to his feet seconds after an assassination attempt and punched the air with blood trickling down his face.

Yup! I wonder who took that photo?

[Alas Babylon!]

Amen,

“Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43).

The Flag appearing to be upside down is an appropriate factor>>> I thot that as well. MIne in front of my house hase been for a few weeks now. along with the foxtrot, juliet, bravo signal flags.

[Right Brother]

They are probably being made as we speak.

[Alas Babylon!]

That’s outrageous!

She’s doing both. She’s being a human shield and trying to get him down/away. If she was only trying to get him down, she would have been more effective trying to pull him from the front and I’m sure she knows that.

[nutmeg]

Thank you, Jim, for putting that iconic photo of President Trump on top of FR!!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Trump is tough......the strongest president we’ve ever had.

[nutmeg]

Jim, post 68 was meant for you. 🙂

"I have decided, based on the information coming out (shooter on roof), that this was a government conspiracy to kill Trump. I cannot imagine anything that would change my mind."

I will not believe any other scenario either. Satan is a murderer, a liar, and a deceiver, and disguises himself in many forms, including the evil running America's alphabet agencies.

[kvanbrunt2]

I hope and pray he has a legion of angels and archangels surrounding him.>>> My Girl Friend passed away last august and i’m sure she is up there tuning up Jesus to protect her Trumper.

[frank ballenger]

Agree, of course.
Magnificence in photography (AP guy or not).

[MayflowerMadam]

And the screen printers for the RNC will be working all night tonight making shirts.

[Jim Robinson]

After her compatriots let a sniper crawl on a roof 200 yards away.

[laplata]

So sorry for your loss.

"Who is the first leftard to tweet sadness that the attempt failed? Whoopie, Joy, AOC?"

I'll be the last to know. I don't do Twitter or any of the other social crap sites.

I watched her. She got kind of roughed up in the scuffle. Did her job protecting the President and then helped him in the car.

After she and others helped the President in the car, she took a breath,
put on her glasses, straightened her clothes and took her position beside the vehicle while they prepared to move out.

True professional!
