1. Donald Trump was extremely lucky. A few centimeters left and it could have been game over for the former President.
2. Two big questions need to be answered: a) How was the gunman able to position himself so close to Trump? b) Why did the police drones not pick him up?
3. Even more important....A 'few centimeters' is what saved not only Trump but the nation from a full on violent flare up.
4. Trump showed tremenendous Bravado. The picture of him, with fist in the air, rising from the ground will become an iconic image in American history.
5. The extreme rhetoric generated by Trump haters in the media and elsewhere likely motivated the gunman to act. For now his full motive remains unclear.
6. Trump will receive a natural boost in the polls but I am not so sure this will continue until November. The Dem aligned media will do their best to shift focus elsewhere...likely to the strawman Project 2025 issue.
7. The 'staged' conspiracy theory breaks down rather rapidly under any modicum of critical thought. The same is true of the 'CIA did it' notion.
8. Security protection around both Messrs Trump and RFK Jr needs to be upped.
9. Joe Biden, to his credit, looked somewhat presidential in renouncing the violence.
10. Trump needs to continue building on his momentum. The dismissal of the stored reccords case in Florida will help as was his popular pick for VP (J D Vance)
