If we were leftists and we were to use leftist tropes to editorialize the recent attempt on Trump’s life, then we would frame the assassination attempt in the following way:

ROUNDUP: Assassination Attempt Aftermath. “As for the Bad Orange Man himself, he further swelled his own legend when the potentially deadly moment arrived. Rather than cowering on the floor under a pile of Secret Service agents, he rose up and thrust his fist in air, imploring his supporters to ‘Fight!’ An American flag waved in the background, creating what will doubtless be one of the most iconic images of the campaign that will live on in perpetuity. Now we march on toward November with Trump firmly at the helm. Don’t expect him to back down or be cowed in any way. It’s simply not in the man’s character.”
I think it was Stephen King’s The Dead Zone where the bad-guy presidential candidate wrecks himself with his cowardly response to an assassination attempt. This was the opposite of that.
And my intuition is that J.D. Vance, as the most pugnaciously MAGA of Trump’s short list, moved up for the VP pick.

THEY’VE ONLY GOT ONE PLAY: “The Biden crew is hectoring journalists to leave the president alone and explain how awful Donald Trump is.”
And that play’s gotten boring. Besides, after running in 2020 on a platform of returning things to normal post-Trump, the Biden Administration has been so crazy that it’s made Trump look like the return-to-normality candidate.

TRUTH:
Every media organization and politician who claims Trump is the 'end of democracy' and 'worse than hitler' has responsibility for what happened today.
