To have grudging respect for how Trump styled it out

I mean someone tried to murder him, he came very close to having died. He went through a terrifying experience and came out saying fight and raising his fist in defiance. I think he’s an odious man but despite that, I have to concede a nod to that.

Let’s face it, if this had happened to Obama and he’d responded in the same way we’d all be like ‘woah, he the man!’

Note. This is not a genuine AIBU. I’m confident in my position on this but know so many people have so polarized themselves that they would rather eat their own eyeballs than find any small compliment or recognition for someone they hate.

He was too thick to process what was happening. As usual. How anyone can have an iota of admiration for him I do not know.

I think he did himself a lot of favours with the way he reacted and will gain a lot of support.

Was it not just a stress reaction? The fight of fight or flight fame?
Don't see what makes it admirable.
