They've already started politicizing it, even though we have no clue what his motive is or his politics at all. I only listed the CNN quote to remind you we have NO clue and can't suspect anything.
The problem is we can't deny the event happened, and they now get to dominate conversations about it, and our side has to tip-toe carefully in it because now Trump gets to play the victim... because he WAS a victim. Already you have so many of the politicians "wishing him a speedy recovery". Frankly I wish he'd die of an ear infection, but I'm not going to act on that.
All of THAT said, I did overreact. In a NORMAL election, all of what I said would be true... but the elections haven't been normal in several years. As said before, we've got our side which sees this election as an existential crisis, and people motivated to vote aren't voting "for Biden", they're voting AGAINST Trump and fascism. Trump's supporters worshipped him anyway, so nothing that happened short of Trump actually dying is going to stop that. It'll strengthen their resolve, but yeah, we don't know for certain. All I know is that Fox and the like are already trying to use this to bolster Trump.
And the religious Trump worshippers see his survival as a literal actual miracle...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
