Generally I don't like who Trump is. He's a big ego blowhard real estate tv show actor schmoozer who loves his own scent. But the thing is we have seen Trump in situations no man under a microscope has been put under, and every step of the way he backs up his hype with being a legitimate American folk hero. George W hand an anxiety attack when someone he was bombing to the stone age tossed a shoe at him. Trump got shot and once the immediate shock subsided for a moment (People in shootings focus on weird things, like when JFK's wife thought she could put his brains back into his head) he put out a historic physical declaration of being unphased. He's in debates 3 on 1 against people trained to chop him down and he stood his ground in the ring. He's imperfect but he's a testament that you don't have to be perfect to be good.

Outside of sports, we really don't see heroism very often. And sports "heroism" is arguably a completely different thing because the worst that'll happen is that you'll lose and get paid anyway.
Trump's response to the first assassination attempt was, without hyperbole, the most bravely heroic thing I have ever seen in my life.

In fairness to W, he ducked those shoes pretty good.
