"There may not be one man in ten thousand, shot and bleeding, still standing in the kill zone, who would have had the ability to maintain his presence of mind and continue to press his priorities and mission. It was, honestly, stunning. "

From some of the pictures/videos floating around it looks like Trump had better presence of mind than some of his security detail

Well said and an excellent point Keith.

I was stunned when Trump arose, shoes intact, and despite potential continuing threat and to the chagrin of the secret service, made absolutely sure to raise his head above the fray, fist in the air, and exhibit his unbelievably defiant determination. I thought to myself, this guy not only has grit but has got to be the most intuitive salesman our generation has ever seen.
