As for the day, I am writing this on July 16, just a few days after one of the biggest blockbuster made-for-TV moments in recent memory: the assassination attempt on former President Trump that occurred on 7/13/24 at a political rally held in Pennsylvania. And what an emotional roller-coaster ride this has been. While watching on live TV for all the world to see, we observed what can best be described as a scene out of a dystopian movie thriller where Donald Trump goes down behind a podium and is rushed by secret service personnel as the sound of gunfire is heard in the background. And, as we watch transfixed on our screens, we see Trump rise up and with blood on his face and an upside-down American flag in the background, and we see him thrust up a clenched fist as he heroically urges the crowd to fight, fight, fight! It truly is the stuff of movie legend – only it was real! Or was it?
