Iconic photo indeed. Historic.

As an aside, I am reminded of a novel written by Trump hater Stephen King back in the 1970s. It was called "The Dead Zone".

The plot culminates in a man with clairvoyant ability trying to kill a local politician giving a speech, convinced that he will someday become president and start a nuclear war. The assassination attempt fails but during the shooting, the politician grabs a nearby child to use as a shield against the bullets coming his way. A news photographer snaps a photo of the politician using the child as a shield that runs in all the newspapers the next day.

So while the assassination is a failure, the man's political career is ruined and he never becomes president.

I'm sure Stephen King is thinking about the contrast between Trump and his fictional character tonight!
