Vegas shooting victim finds strength to stand when Trump enters hospital room

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)

Mooschelle, if she went to Vegas, would have swooped in on a separate plane to emphasize how important she was.

We still live in that country! Don’t let the media tell you otherwise!

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

Statistically, at any particular time, it would have been more likely for Sheik Obomba to be attending a fundraiser than playing golf.

You’re right. It’s never about her. And she’s very careful not to upstage the President and understands that he’s the Peoples President. I think that’s awesome.

We can shut this gun control debate down by bringing up this issue and putting pressure on republicans. If conservative media gets behind this it will put massive pressure on republicans to push for an independent prosecutor and stop all new gun control talk in it's tracks. We need to make it a big enough issue that Sessions either does it, resigns, or gives Trump the support to fire him and anyone else that refuses. This is the real issue we should be focusing on after the Vegas shooting.

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


The first comment on the YouTube video said that he can stand, but the NFL can’t...Perfect! (That statement should be sent to the NFL commissioner).

“Too bad we do not have 200 million just like him.”

Well, we have a base of 63 million+ for starters! Give President Trump a few more years and he/we can probably double that number come 2020. ;)

Yes, mine, too. Unfortunately, we have a media that no longer celebrates courage and respect for a fine president.

Thank you Mr. Gunderson! You demonstrated to the country what proper respect for the country means. I honor you!

A REAL President, not some poser. A REAL First LADY, not some tranny.

Thank GOD for Donald Trump and Melania.

The quote of whole scene! His picture with that saying on a t-shirt would be a multi-million seller. Do it.

He can stand, but the NFL can't!
