James O'Brien praises Donald Trump's 'defiant' reaction to assassination attempt | LBC

James O'Brien discusses the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and praises his reaction to the incident.
Saturday evening saw a shooter take aim at the former president during a rally in Pennsylvania, with Trump shot in the ear by a sniper before being rushed off stage by close security.
He's now said he's "lucky to be alive" in his first interview since he was shot at.
James argues that the former president's response was 'very impressive' and 'objectively remarkable'.
However, he stresses that this still hasn't taken away his 'disgust for what he has done to democracy.'

He could not have made it clearer he still despises all that Trump believes and stands for. He said that several times. This is what he was talking about. Objectively if it were a more sane former president who had done the exact same thing, we would all (including me) be satisfied with his reaction. However there is the dichotomy because it's Trump, a man who has exclusively stood for hate and bigotry, so we are rightly skeptical of his response. James said exactly that, nothing else. Everyone knows what Trump has done and stands for, the question James is thinking about is how thay affects our view of the event and the aftermath

But not for the instigator, that still actively harms people. And because he doesn't go e any thing back , it only goes one way. And if you give him quarter he just drain you and toss you aside. Everybody knows this including most of his supporters . If he went a d tried to redeem himself we can talk, but he only ever doubled down and increased harms. Threats, People going into hiding.

This guy is full of it.

[@tommonk7651]

Remarkable? Do you not understand that he is all about image? Don’t think for one minute that this incident changes him. Leopard don’t change their spots. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Don’t be naive, James….

[@dh1380]

Its called adrenaline

[@someoneoncesaid6978]

It's called Adderall.

[@richtea615]

The cope in these comments 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@suzanneh708]

Also remarkable is Joe Biden response. Brilliant point about “dialing down”. Exactly.

[@rb1062]

I think the whole atmosphere needs to dial down. I've never known a time of such venal hatred in politics.

[@octobrain23232]

I wonder how many times they rehearsed.

[@belindamay8063]

@octobrain. You are right to have doubts. The incompetence of the gunman is something Sherlock Holmes would have noticed straightaway. It was odd. The killer was remarkable in his ability to outwit the smartest defence team in the States - but so hopeless with a gun ! Or was he in fact, a master of precision to rival the talent of William Tell ?

[@memarks]

So. It looks like Trump is beginning to charm O'brien. So now that leaves me as the last clear-headed bastion.

[@B82828]

Ever consider your wrong?

[@Danny-is5if]

And who are you exactly?

[@Independent365]

He never gave to a left organization. That was an older man with the same name...

[@rosemarycuthbert4623]

We saw Trump's comments about Nancy Pelosi and her husband. Absolutely disgusting

[@pontifexcrocdylus2716]

Because he was never in danger.

[@frasermartin4621]

Interesting you think the current American political class strive for peacefulness.

[@lukebailey3308]

We are being intellectual,😆😂oh please stop it James 🙄

[@chilliwraslin2510]

This story is brilliant lol you can't pay for entertainment like this

[@californiadreamin8423]

Have they checked the “grassy knoll” yet ?

[@karenburns3516]

How quickly people forget who he real is 😢.

[@Electriclentilman]

I agree , James is awful .

[@tomzablee]

James O’Brien “doesn’t know how to respond” to a call for unity. Tells you everything you need to know.

[@jasonwhite6463]

Back in 2015, trump said he could pretend to be "presidential". He went on to show us that he was anything but that. Nothing he has done over the past few days can erase our memories of the past decade.

[@MyCharlie20]

He was the biggest peace maker for decades....

[@darinoaks]

I guess all of us democracy loving Americans can just stay home now? Thank you for playing your part in suppressing the vote. How very republikkklan of you.

[@Commsfarage]

Cope

[@ZiggySA]

I really don't think ANYONE deserves kudos or a pat on the back for doing the bare minimum decent thing, let alone trump, as in a few days he will be spitting blood and bile and blaming Biden for this incident. I get it, James wants to be fair and say nice things about terrible people, as he often tries to do with Tories, only for them to say and do something terrible immediately after he does. Will we be getting James doing a surprised Pikachu in a few days when Trump reverts back to his default behaviour? I can understand to a point, hoping that there is still a shred of decency among the Tories, but Trump? COME ON MAN. At this point it looks performative.

[@framethis]

I honestly think the democrats NEED Michelle O Bama to run .The Polls say she would have a 11 + lead over Trump .

[@feldsparsongs2331]

He said ‘fight’ - I’ve yet to understand who’s he gonna fight with exactly? I doubt whether this man will modify his language. I can’t understand the electorate in the US. Used to say you can’t fool all the people all the time..I wonder I really do..

[@evanhughes7609]

The leopard doesn't change its spots.

[@suethorpe1976]

Well there second amendment doesn't help the right to bear arms ... Thinking in a positive way this needs looking at

[@chrisbruton4753]

Peacefulness, the left 😂😂😂😂

[@richardgough1393]

James you're being deliberately ignorant

[@anorthernsoul5600]

Add thick to that.

[@Goose4Lu71]

I've heard of hedging your bets, but this is laughable.

[@jasonngldn]

Every day James plumbs new depths.

[@onlyme219]

Yet here you are, again :)

[@runlarryrun77]

Yeah, this is pretty disgusting.

[@user-op8fg3ny3j]
