We can only hope. His text to the Patriots yesterday evening was entirely appropriate: concern and condolences for the victims and families and appreciating the Secret Service and law enforcement who quickly controlled the situation and prevented it from being much worse. It was the comments of a statesman and not the sometimes petulant and irritating remarks we sometimes get from him.Until yesterday, I wasn’t one to LOVE Trump. I definitely thought that he was - and will be again - a very good president, whose policies helped America. But love? Too strong a word.
Now, though, I LOVE him. He has not only shown how tough and brave he is, and that he has the right instincts as a leader, but that he has the strength needed to combat the evil currently trying to destroy - oops, “transform” - America.
Others feel the same. The assassination attempt has ignited a determination to put Trump back in office, and Democrats will not be able to cheat enough to overcome it.

Trump assassination attempt makes election win more likely, and Americans' willingness to use political violence may be highest since Civil War, Ian Bremmer says | Fortune
"This is the worst sort of event that can happen in that environment, and I deeply worry that this presages much more political violence and social instability to come."fortune.com
So love for him? I can't honestly say that is the emotion I feel for him. But I do genuinely love his track record, the vision, his agenda, what he has accomplished and still wants to accomplish for America. And the assassination attempt won't hurt his approval ratings and confidence in him that seem to be growing all the time. I just wish it hadn't come at the price of the man who was killed and the two who were so seriously injured.
