    I hate Trump, I think he’s an evil traitor to humanity.

    However I also think he’s me in this picture. I would stand there awkward as fuck watching everyone else who knew what to do take action.

    Not sure what people expect him to do here? But maybe that’s because im as flawed as he is. In this regard that is.

    RFK pulled a blinder. He gtfo of there licketysplit…cus he knew the photos of him failing to offer effective medical aid to someone in need were about 0.06 seconds away. In-fact if you look closely you can see the RFK shaped smoke ring on the edge of the photo.

      Well, that’s why you’re not elected to most powerful position in the country.

      I don’t care if this how the majority of people would act. It’s NOT how a leader should act. That’s the point. He literally has the most command in that room, and he’s doing nothing. As the person in charge he shouldn’t be passive to everything around him, at fucking least, take an active role in observing the situation, or assuaging the media nearby.

      Instead, at BEST he’s just lost and confused; doesn’t know what to do in an emergency. At WORST, he just doesn’t give a fuck. Trump lands somewhere between these two, and either way doesn’t look like a leader.

        It’s a medical emergency, the MD is handling it. Inserting himself into that situation wouldn’t improve it.

        One of the angles shows him making a tiny step towards the fallen guy, and the secret service agent puts out a hand to stop him.

    Honestly this is a valid reaction. I work in a live venue, so sometimes someone faints and you can’t always remove them immediately from the crowd but rather have to put them on the floor to stabilize them.

    There is already 4 people helping if you’re a medical professional your offer to assist is greatly appreciated, but everyone else should stay the fuck away, don’t stare, don’t ask ‘is everything alright’ just stay away and give the person with a medical emergency at least some privacy. It is super intimidating to wake up from fainting in a concert venue, it’s worse when there’s 50 faces staring at you.

      I mean for people who are akward and introverted this makes sense, but Donald Trump is neither. I don’t really care though, what I care about are his terrible policies, this just makes his public image look worse.

      It would be reasonable to give him the benefit of the doubt if it weren’t for the fact that his expression is one of annoyance rather than one of concern.

      This man doesn’t give a shit about anybody other than himself. He’s not helping because he thinks it’s best left to the professionals; he’s not helping because he doesn’t care.

        I’m not trying to give the orange fuck the benefit of doubt, just sharing my experience with situations like this, I should’ve pointed out that my comment is meant to be divorced from the people shown in the picture.

        I overall agree with your sentiment.

          I wasn’t disagreeing, and I actually upvoted your comment. I totally agree with you that people shouldn’t crowd during a medical emergency; it only adds extra risk and makes it harder for professionals to actually help.

          I left my comment to be informative to others, pointing out something to show Trump isn’t choosing to do the right thing out of compassion here.

      This is actual good life advice thanks for that. Sucks it’s too much facts and not enough context though.

      POTUS’s bodyguard also put a hand out to stop him when he made a (very hesitant) move towards the sick guy.
