Despite being shot in a leg during Sunday night’s rampage in Las Vegas, Thomas Gunderson found the strength to stand Wednesday when President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited his hospital room.

“Hi, Thomas. How are you? No, don’t get up. Don’t get up,” Melania Trump can be heard saying in a video as Gunderson attempts to get out of bed.

The president entered the room shortly afterward and shook Gunderson’s hand.

“Hey, this guy looks tough to me,” the president said.

Gunderson credited two off-duty female police officers with saving his life.

He later wrote in a Facebook post: “I will never lie down when the President of this great country comes to shake my hand!”(continued)

In the country I grew up in that video would headline the nightly news on every channel.

[jazminerose]

As well it should.

I grew up in that very same country.

How wonderful that our President is taking the time to boost morale and send the well wishes of the American people.

And, our Melania! I grow to love her more every day. What a superb foot soldier she is. It’s never about *her*. It’s always about the people. Genuine humility from one so beautiful is quite impressive.

Michelle would be busy on one of her extravagant vacations at our expense. Barack would be too preoccupied on the golf course to even *think* about the shooting victims.

"Barack would be too preoccupied on the golf course to even *think* about the shooting victims."

Especially since they're almost all white country music fans. Not exactly his demographic.

It’s a remarkable thing to see. Strong, stoic and stubborn.
Determined to pay proper respects to his President and First Lady. Melania is enough on her own to make most men jump out of bed, with all due respect.
Warms your heart. Even those who don’t like Trump would be impressed, although they would never admit it to us.

IN the country every U. S. Citizen still deserves, it still would.

[Gene Eric]

Well, you now live in a country where Disney, Comcast, and Viacom have corrupted the media landscape.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Another reason for the media to say they got what they deserved. Not only are many of them “gun-toting Republicans”, but they don’t hate their own president like they’re supposed to.

The pic at the link of Air Force One in front of the Mandalay Bay...WOW.

This is leadership. Thank you President Trump. Our hearts are hurting as Americans; you are doing such amazing things.

[dp0622]

Are you married? She’s no foot soldier :) I like her a lot too.

[kelly4c]

I would be so nervous and tongue tied if I was sitting in a hospital bed in a flimsy gown and the president of the United States and elegant first lady waltzed into the room lol.

[Vendome]

Melania is enough on her own to make most men jump “in” bed...

(Fixed...you’re welcome)

[Finalapproach29er]

I miss that country too. I wish it would return....

Instead of our elected officials pushing for more worthless and unconstitutional gun control after this tragedy we should be putting pressure on them to conduct a serious DOJ or special council investigation of fast and furious, and any other murderous actions committed by rogue elements within our government. That was nothing more than an evil and treasonous plan to push tyranny on us and undermine our second amendment right by getting people murdered.
We know the FBI had previous contact with both the Orlando shooter and Muhammad cartoon shooters. An FBI agent was on the ground behind the Muhammad drawing contest shooters when they started shooting after telling them to “tear up Texas” the day before. The FBI are irresponsible and incompetent at best, and downright evil at worst. I think it's a little of both. The FBI is just one of many agency's controlled by the treasonous members of the permanent state, and unless we fight back and elect politicians who will fight that evil bureaucracy at all cost we don't have a chance. It's ridiculous that there isn't already a huge independent investigation of the FBI after what we have learned.

We can't let them kill us, and then reward them with more unconstitutional gun control like they want, and I would be surprised if the FBI wasn't involved in the Las Vegas shooting to some extent. Is it incompetence and a disregard for the safety of the American people, or something far more sinister? That's why we need serious independent investigations. The treasonous permanent state needs to be exposed and destroyed.

[albie]

Agreed. The last thing I’d want to be wearing when meeting the president is a hospital gown.

THANK-YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP! God Bless.

Melania sounds so sweet and nurturing in that video. You can tell she has a heart of gold.

I cannot imagine Michael Obama behaving like that - especially to a "white male."

Good luck with getting Jeff Feckless to do anything like that.

You want me to look at crimes committed by Obama and government officials? Well.....

I mean, that will make a lot of waves....lots and lots of waves...and, I might just have to recuse myself, you know, because I am a man of such integrity, honor, pride, and selflessness....and humility....I am SO HUMBLE....so humble

I don't want to do this difficult stuff of holding people accountable, I want to be "Above it All" and talk about fun stuff......

Those stoic Swedes!

I'm sure the IV Pain Meds help a bit.😁

This is the kind of people that once made America great. Too bad we do not have 200 million just like him.
