Trump Logic in Reverse

Everyone's favourite Donald had some more pearls of wisdom this week.

Did you think I meant the duck? No, but close enough.

Donald Trump surmised that he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone, presumably dead, and he still wouldn't lose voters.

I suspect he's right, and it would be an interesting test. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happens.

A far more interesting test, however, would be to reverse this scenario.

What would happen if someone on 5th Avenue shot Mr. Trump. Would he lose voters?

Of course not. In fact, 100% of everybody would love Mr. Trump.

His supporters would love him because he wasn't able to become President, and his detractors would love him because he wasn't able to become President.
