SO WOULD WE ALL:
Trump said he would charge a gunman. Here's what he's actually done in the face of danger. (Eli Rosenberg, February 26, 2018, Washington Post)
And given Trump's public track record in the face of proximate danger, his words instead ended up underscoring a separate truth: His actions have, at times, read differently than his tough talk.The most frightened that Trump has ever seemed in public was perhaps a moment during a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, in March 2016.The then-candidate was in the midst of speaking about manufacturing, when a man hopped the barrier behind him and rushed the stage. Trump stopped speaking, looked nervously behind him and grabbed and started to duck behind his lectern.He was then swarmed by Secret Service agents, who steadied him.
