It must be said, Trump is a real man! Shortly after the gunman was shot dead, Trump returned to the stage at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and announced that the event would go on! Foreign media reported that within less than an hour, the gunman had been subdued in the hall, prompting Trump to decide to return to the banquet and deliver his speech. Normally, after such a shooting incident, with people still shaken and terrified, most politicians would immediately cancel the event and evacuate for safety, prioritizing their own protection.
They would certainly never dare to return to a scene still in chaos. Yet Trump did exactly the opposite—he briefly paused, then came back onto the stage. This inevitably brings to mind the previous time Trump narrowly escaped assassination, when a bullet grazed his ear, with danger literally inches away. Though he was injured, he still endured the pain, stood tall, raised his fist, and waved to his supporters. Such conduct, truly, is remarkably courageous.
Of course, from a political perspective, Trump's current approval ratings are low, and the U.S. midterm elections are drawing near. Naturally, Trump will employ every possible method to boost his popularity. Presenting himself as a fearless strongman helps solidify support among conservative voters and win favor and trust from ordinary citizens. What appears to be instinctive toughness, to some extent, is actually a precise political calculation.
