So what does this mean going forward? Security at future Trump rallies will doubtless be ramped up. If there was one lunatic like Thomas Matthew Crooks out there, we simply can't rule out the possibility that there could be more. This campaign and the majority of the mainstream media coverage of it has taken an already sharply divided nation and inflamed those divisions to dangerous levels. There could be other aspiring nutjobs waiting in the wings who believe that they will be remembered as "heroes" if they become the person to take down the "evil monster threatening democracy" that is Donald J. Trump. As for the Bad Orange Man himself, he further swelled his own legend when the potentially deadly moment arrived. Rather than cowering on the floor under a pile of Secret Service agents, he rose up and thrust his fist in air, imploring his supporters to "Fight!" An American flag waved in the background, creating what will doubtless be one of the most iconic images of the campaign that will live on in perpetuity. Now we march on toward November with Trump firmly at the helm. Don't expect him to back down or be cowed in any way. It's simply not in the man's character.
