These people really have no understanding of reality do they? I mean, maybe I'm wrong myself, but to not even entertain the possibility of him gaining politically from this event...?
Kruse is an unabashed (if not shameless) dem cheerleader but he's not a total idiot. I can't decide if he's outright lying (to rally the dem troops) or if he actually believes there's no upside for Trump. At first I was going to write that he's surely lying but then I realized people can poison their own brains by pumping out propaganda nonsense every day. And the easiest person to deceive is yourself.

I think Trump's fist pumping will turn out to be the most powerful political images* in all of American history and there won't be a close second.
Edit: By "political images" I mean how that's defined in the media or in history books or in textbooks and not how we define it.
The initial reactions in the comments on the .world news comms really show this. People didn't want to believe there was even an actual shooter.
