I’m grateful President Trump, Melania, Vice President Vance, and the Cabinet are safe after Saturday’s incident. The would-be assassin was stopped before anyone was seriously hurt. The agent who was shot is expected to make a full recovery — thank God.
Even after the gunman charged and shot an agent, the Secret Service took him alive. That restraint under fire proves this isn’t some authoritarian regime with trigger-happy foot soldiers. They neutralized the threat and followed due process.
President Trump showed real leadership too — he wanted to restart the event and called for calm instead of letting fear win. And it makes the case even stronger: that White House ballroom needs to be finished. Permanent, tighter security there protects him and every president who comes after.
But Elon’s question still stands: if someone’s already radicalized enough to attempt assassination while out of power, what will they do when they control the levers of government again?
That’s the deeper point we all need to sit with.
Spine NOT Knees
LIVE GRATEFUL 🇺🇸
