    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.
