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.

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.
