Fascists will always use a crisis to gain more power. If the Rechstag fire had actually killed Hitler, then yeah, it probably would have been a good thing. But in the end it didn’t, it just gave Hitler more power. This situation with Trump isn’t much different.
Granted, hindsight is a big factor here. But I think I’ve made my point.
Trump burying news about him with more news about him is to his advantage. And I guarantee you Trump will continue milking the assassination attempt. It isn’t buried by a long shot.
Was it really a good deed though? Because by missing, he gave Trump a shit load of political ammunition.
Trump is going to take this crisis and abuse it for every vote it gets him, and it’s gonna get him a lot.
So what you are saying is that Trump is a “Crisis Actor” lmao
Given that he is essentially unscathed, yes.
It’s an interesting question. If someone could go back in time to try to shoot Hitler but ended up missing, would it still be a good deed?
Hardly an if, that’s essentially what actually happened:

Yes it was a good deed even though it failed.
I think it’s more accurate to say it would’ve been a good deed. Rn it’s just good intentions.
He hasn’t though. He buried this story with his VP pick and the documents case.
