Totally lost me with " how close this election is gonna be" . Showed the delusion is still strong.

[cherylwilliams]

Neither of these commentators deserve to be talking about this!

[DanielaWilliams-qkxg]

Soften his image? The man almost died....of course he is emotional.

[jesusruiz]

I almost lost my life in an armed robbery 4 years ago, not saying this is the same thing, but the feeling of your life almost being taken away and seeing this on TV I def understand that feeling and seeing this on TV was very moving and understandable

[andrewharvey]

Can you imagine? You'd have to a sociopath not to be incredibly emotional in that situation.

[fernandocoronel]

How sick is the media trying to put someone down for being emotional after almost losing his life to an attacker, one can’t help but feel even more in touch with life and be grateful because it really can change in a matter of minutes 🙏

Man is as strong as can be and is protected by God .

I am indian but I follow usa election but I felt so bad for him god's bless you Mr prasident trump again lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤❤❤❤

[Valerie-Love]

Something definitely changed in his eyes and face. God was with him for sure!

[charly]

I’m sure he WAS emotional although he holds up pretty well. He just had a brush with being unalived and he sees the tremendous love America has for him. And with his sons and daughter Tiffany, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and his friends, what’s not to be touched by?

[welfareleech]

how this guy is alive is absolutely unbelievable. I mean WOW lol

[christieaf]

Fearless, bold, and daring. Very rarest of rare, the right character to be the President of the United States. When God is with him, who can be against him? God bless America.

[deftye]

We are so grateful for his life. We also mourn the loss of the man who lost his life.

[gmoordp]

Bro is being patriotic, and people hate on it….. I can understand not agreeing with his politics, but how you gonna hate someone for acting American.

[teresapatrick]

God save him, of course he be emotional

[jimdoe]

Msnbc canceled morning Joe on monday... in fear of they would blame Trump for the shooting 😂

[behappy]

Why do we have to listen to these two talk about President Trump? They are just the absolute WORST!!!!

[lorid]

He doesn't have to find new inroads or audiences...he's already got them. Get with it.

[NganNguyen-sqki]

Thanksss GOD for protected President Trump🇺🇸🦅🙏🏻
God Bless the Victims and their families!💔😭

And the media calls trump a narcissist and a sociopath? Sickening
