Reactions to the incident have been mixed. Some people defended Trump, arguing that the situation may have been overwhelming or that he trusted his medical team to handle the situation, leaving the immediate care to those best equipped.
“He’s the president, not a doctor,” one user remarked. “He did the right thing by letting the professionals take over.”
Others criticized him for focusing on the cameras and his public image rather than the well-being of the person who had collapsed.
The viral images from the moment continue to spark conversations online, with some seeing it as a reflection of Trump’s leadership style.
Whether or not these reactions will affect the public’s perception of him in the future remains to be seen, but the incident certainly adds another layer of controversy to his already complicated political legacy.
