That Photo | Blog & Mablog

Fist raised to reassure his people, and the same fist raised in defiance of his enemies. Red, white, and blue. Red blood, white cuff, and blue jacket. American flag in the background. Blood on his face. The position of the fist makes it look like he is holding the flag up. About the only thing missing is a bald eagle flying in the background, or a cloud in the shape of a bust of George Washington. There is a weird and uncanny providence unfolding in all of this. The whole thing is beyond epic. Trump is clearly a man with basic animal courage.

Given all of this, I am grateful that Trump struck the right note in his statement when he said that it was “God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.” God’s holy providence superintends everything, and this really is true about all of our actions . . . rough hew them how we will. But sometimes it is just glaringly obvious, like now.

Look at that photo again. It was obviously staged. Just not by Trump.
