Trumpers have no clue what a real hero even is. Trump is a total coward, as is Hawley, Cruz, Jordan, etc. They are the furthest away from macho as there could possibly be.

Heroes are this guy, and the other cop who decided not to shoot while being dragged into the mob. So many actual heroes, actually brave people.

Trumpers distortion of reality is off the charts.
