As you might have already guessed, the comments range from congratulatory to full-bore left-wing lunacy.
Well deserved!! It's iconic now!

That's the obvious response. This photo will outlive us all in the history books.
Next, we have the Trump assassination truthers …
STAGED

Clearly, a perfectly rational person is behind that account. Hoo boy!
It's such a great picture, showing clearly that Trump knew he was in no danger whatsoever that day.

These ones are really setting off the wacko sensors.
Taking pictures of staged events wins awards? How do we know @evanvucci wasn’t in on the staging plans to get the pic? It’s one giant conspiracy and they’re all dirty.

This 'proud Harris Democrat' continues to wish Trump had been killed.
Never forget an innocent bystander died for this photo opp and Trump was barely bleeding. https://t.co/MtSOtlEpJU

Libby's elevator doesn't go all the way to the top if you know what we mean.
They're not well.
Others used the opportunity to make fun of the weirdos.
Just more proof it was staged. How was a photographer right there to get this pic? https://t.co/EOQv8DppOT

Perhaps we'll never know how a photographer could be right there, taking photos of a former president, at a campaign event. It's virtually unheard of.
Trump going to unban AP over this. https://t.co/vR1h7YP3Nk

LOL! Now that would be funny.
You'd think people would at least be able to agree that a photographer captured an amazing piece of history, but no.
This is why we can't have nice things.
