I think they meant the retired firefighter who was standing behind Trump. No offence, but It’s pretty telling that you also didn’t think of him, as neither did I at first reading.
Uhm, right. My point still stands, though. You can’t lift any story about this because of what that would drag with it. There’s always questions, who is to blame, who didn’t do their job, what was the motivation of the gunman, lots of little threads to pull on without even trying too hard. If that does become a big story, then the questions are inevitable and no one wants to answer questions about a clusterfuck like that. No one can see a winning angle with any certainty, so they just drop everything about it like the hot potato it is.
Only Trump wants it, and he can’t have it, poor guy. Makes my day.
Sure, but my point still stands. If they lift the story and wanna keep it running, what are they gonna do to keep it interesting? Trump still got some minor pain in the ear, news at 6? If a story is gonna be interesting there needs to be new stuff and where is that new stuff and interesting angles gonna come from? Gunman still dead? If they are gonna keep it alive, and they could if they wanted to as there’s plenty to draw from, but as I said, no one wants that. And a sore ear isn’t gonna cut it for a sob story on Trump either. Emotional stress? Then you’re into “weak and can’t hack it” territory and that would be so very denied by Trump it makes me smile.
It is funny because HE wants the story so bad and how he is the big hero and tough and shit, but the people around him basically having to sit on him to prevent him from doing something stupid and trying to tell that story, because that would fail spectacularly and be so funny to watch, even if I do have a hard time watching cringe happen. I may make an exception in this case.
