that’s one of the reasons why the dropout was a good idea. it came so soon after the shooting and made such waves that it completely drowned the shooting.
it helps that a. he didn’t really get hurt and b. he’s super unpopular, so the reaction from people who weren’t already in the maga cult ranged from “don’t give a shit” to “you had one job”.
i think he’s super demoralized so he doesn’t even feel like campaigning. the press conference was probably people around him telling him that Harris has been dominating the media and getting ahead in the polls so he had to show his orange mug before people completely forgot about him (ah, we should be so lucky).
mind that one of the factors in 2016 was that he was so outrageous that he got billions of dollars worth of free advertising. now people are talking about Harris, walz and couches.
Joe leaving the race effectively wiped out anything from that event. Trump for once is the victim of the mass adhd that is our current media and cultural environment. I myself have forgotten several times that he was even shot at, and he’s not good at keeping it front and center in anyone’s mind either.
Trump “had a longtime fear of being poisoned, one reason why he liked to eat at McDonald’s — nobody knew he was coming and the food was safely premade,” Wolff reports.
Lmao does anyone else remember the shooting? Everyone seemed so convinced his win was in the bag after that “iconic” photo. Now it’s a big whatever.

Not even Donald’s ear remembers the shooting. It was back to regular condition just days later.
That’s the power of putting a maxipad on your ear. It’s got electrolytes!
It’s what cartilage craves!

Too busy insisting Kamala isn’t black, keeping her front and center.
I wonder if he’s worried the 2nd time won’t be just a shrapnel knick, and that’s why he’s not leaving home.
I remember insiders saying that he was scared he’d get shot even before it happened. Wouldn’t be surprised.
It still helped him. I don’t know where you’re going with this. It created a great story and narrative.
It didn’t help in the poll whatsoever.
It did, but not enough (I hope)
Oh yeah, when that teleprompter got shot, rip
