Yeah, when there was that shooting attack on Parliament Hill back in 2014, the Prime Minister's security detail told Stephen Harper he had to hide in a closet. I'm the furthest thing from a supporter of Harper, but I had no problem with that at all. I didn't see it as an act of cowardice but rather as a sensible thing for the head of government to do when his security staff told him he was in danger.

I guess so much of Trump's appeal with his supporters is based on the phony notion that he's some courageous strongman, so he can't do anything that runs counter to that ridiculous image he's built up for himself.
