  1. In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest by a wealthy man named John Schrank, that wanted to stop Roosevelt from being elected for a 3rd term. Schrank had been following him on his political campaign, waiting for the chance to assassinate him. Roosevelt had a metal glasses case and his speech in his vest pocket, which slowed the bullet, but it still penetrated Roosevelt's chest. He was then driven to the auditorium he was to give his speech at, bullet lodged in his chest, bleeding, and delivered a speech that was over an hour long in that condition opening with "Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot—but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." He was taken to the hospital after the speech where it was determined that the bullet was so far lodged into his chest that it would be more risk to remove it than to leave it. He lived the rest of his life with that bullet in his chest. He went on to win his third term. This is what Trump wanted to emulate. Trump was grazed and didn't continue his speech. Roosevelt had a chunk of lead in his chest and went on to deliver a speech of over an hour. Trump is no where near Theodore Roosevelt was one of the greatest American presidents. Trump isn't worthy to hold his jock strap. I am NOT a liberal or a dem. In fact I do not bother with politics since I learned of the electoral college. Since I learned that we as Americans DO NOT elect our president and that the president is elected internally by other politicians. Bill Clinton has a vote in the electoral college, for instance. Speaking of Clintons, Hillary won the popular vote. Trump lost to her. However the electoral college chose Trump over Hillary. Now we have Harris vs Trump. After Trump proved he cannot follow orders, there is a very slim chance that the electoral college will vote on his side, even if he won the popular vote by a landslide. So many people do not understand how the US political system works, especially it's residents. At this point in time elections are a money laundering scheme to help the rich once every 4 years which I find insidious. I would rather go back to the way it was when two people ran, the winner was the President and the loser the Vice President. This way someone from both parties is always in office. I feel that in this respect they would be able to get more done through cooperation that does not exist when you have two of the same in the office and the rest of the system is the opposite party, making sure nothing useful gets done.
