Donald Trump Won The White House After Dodging Bullet, Declares ESPN's Stephen A. Smith
Longtime Donald Trump critic Stephen A. Smith admitted on his YouTube show that Trump's got the presidency battle sealed after dodging an assassination attempt on Saturday.
Like OutKick's Clay Travis, Smith argued that Trump's campaign could not have written a better script for Trump's road to the presidency after not only evading the left-wing fanatic's bullet but getting up and yelling "Fight" to his rally attendees with a bloodied face.

It's an all-time moment for the already iconic Trump, and everyone's stepping out to give him his flowers. And despite previously blaming Trump's MAGA movement for escalating racial tensions in America, Smith isn't pretending that Donald Trump will lose to Joe Biden on November 5 like other crazy Dems.
"In my opinion, the shooter, he just handed Donald Trump the election," Smith reacted.
"That is what I believe. Of course, I don’t know that as fact. Of course, things could change; but, in my opinion, he just handed Donald Trump the election."
Stephen A. Smith couldn't ignore the significant boost that Trump's 'Thug Life' fist pump and iconic photo under the American flag gave his campaign. People are expecting a "Ronald Reagan"-level landslide win in this upcoming election.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can’t buy — I’ve been in media for 30 years — you can’t buy a better photo than what Donald Trump has at his disposal as we speak. He goes to the ground. He’s got blood on his right. Looked like it got nicked, which is what he said. It pierced his ear. He gets up. He looks disheveled. [He was] clearly taken aback by what happened, and rightfully so."
Crowds at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday roared for Trump as he made his first public appearance since the shooting. It was a microcosm of celebration to come for No. 45, who's scheduled to speak at the convention on Thursday.

Smith continued, "Blood trickling down his ear and the right side of his face. Surrounded by Secret Service agents. Raises his fist, cringing his face up. ‘Fight, fight, fight.’ He says it three times. And while raising his fist, surrounded by Secret Service agents, the American flag is behind him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can’t buy a better photo than that if you’re a politician."
While Democrats and left-wingers lament their uphill battle to November, Republicans are calling foul for their presidential candidate's brush with death.

Americans are still asking how the 20-year-old gunman was able to gain a vantage point roughly 130 yards away from Trump during his rally in Butler, PA.
As Clay Travis said on his show Monday afternoon, Trump's "bada**" reaction to getting shot will win him the presidency if his team can keep him safe from left-wing lunatics.
