Most people are treating this like Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King shooting, but it's not. These people were liked and generally seen as good.

This shooting is more akin to a Hitler shooting, which he had survived many, and was not liked. This is not a martyr situation and most are not going to change their feels for trump.

Trump is definitely liked, there are tons of people who like him. Half the country likes him.

MLK and Lincoln stood against something that was objectively evil. And not half the country likes him, he will still lose the popular vote.

Yeah I'd go further than that to say that (bizarrely) the religious heart of America thinks that he is "good".
