I was there. President Trump saw something was wrong. The crowd in front of him had been standing for hours, so the fact that someone fell (there was another before the President appeared) isn’t too surprising. But the fact that he instantly stopped his speech, called for a doctor, and repeatedly told the EMTs not to rush, not to hurry, not to worry, “we have all the time in the world” reminded me of what the rabbi in Pittsburgh said about Trump’s humanity and how it never seems to be shown.
He asked for prayers and in our part of the crowd you could hear the Lord’s Prayer. And then came the spontaneous ‘Amazing Grace’. It really seemed to move him and afterwards he complimented the crowd on how it responded.
I do a good deal of public speaking, both for work and some personal things I’m involved in. Audience is usually a few dozen to a couple hundred.
I don’t know if it’s normal among public speakers, but when I make eye contact, I’m sort of just pretending. I can scan the audience and literally not see a thing. Once I was saying something and my wife had some new information to give me. She was in the back of the church waving her arms and I didn’t even see her.
For the President to instantly see a problem among a crowd of 30,000 is astounding to me, and shows just how deeply he cares about America and each American.
Ronald Reagan in 1984 was my first Presidential vote. I was very proud to vote for him, drove 400 miles to do it too. It was also my first date with the girl who became my wife, however, I’m more proud to have voted for Donald Trump that Reagan. (not by much)
