    Didn’t even click to read the satire.

    As much as I hate the guy it was marketing genius to do the fist pump immediately.

    Same as his mug shot (although he probably practiced that one for hours in a mirror).

    Many of his core followers are only semi-literate. They respond to iconic imagery.

      he didn’t do the fist pump immediately.

      it was like 10 minutes later, you fell for the propaganda.

        I see now that the photo is from the golf course not the speech. That he posed for that one shows once again how media savvy he is.

        The first assassination attempt created the iconic image. That happened only 80 seconds after the shooting, ie as soon as security let him stand up. Here is the uncut footage.
