Trump at Rally in Pennsylvania

        So, shots fired, crowd dives to cover; Secret Service agents grab Trump, protecting him, and hustle him away from rally site. Pres. Biden expresses concern for former president. Few details emerge at this time except that the would be murderer was killed by local police and a bystander unfortunately was killed in the fusillade.

     Trump has not made a statement and had some facial cuts caused by flying glass. Media is going bonkers as can be expected. Congressional leaders are responding as necessary. Campaign operatives for both parties are processing the event to fit it into their campaign narrative.  Some loopy folks are already using the word martyr, demonstrating their ignorance. Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has issued a statement expressing concern.

     What will unfold at this point in time is hard to predict; however, Trump's campaign activities will become restricted, less open, more controlled, and definitely more cautious. Hmmm. and where and when will gun control advocates join the fray? And how about the NRA? And the ATF? 

      What will the new president of Iraq have to say? Or the new president of Harvard University or Columbia University? How about AOC?
