Ah, avoidance then.
Of course, almost killed means avoiding being actually killed. That's the trick to survival.

Well.unlucky to have suffered countless brushes with death.
Well, "suffered" is your characterization, not mine. I say more lucky than unlucky.

Lucky that you survived the countless brushes with death. The odds apparently were in your favor to suffer so many brushes with death and still survive.
Why just this morning I almost slipped in the tub, but didn't! That brush with getting almost killed made my morning coffee so much more enjoyable than usual! But I am courageous, so I'm not letting that stop me from returning to the bathroom later!!

I wonder what the odds actually are for something like that....

I see, excellent play on words and a facetious argument. Well done.

I’ve been in a few traffic accidents, got T-boned once, skidded a Checker cab into not one, but two walls, (fortunately those things were tanks!), have had several close calls as a pedestrian but I still drive and walk along the sidewalk.
These feats of courage, though, are commonplace, which is why we tend to close schools that have had a mass shooting becuase not everyone is going to “get over it“ and be fine attending such a school.

Trump going back to the place where he was almost killed is an act of courage, and I applaud him for having it.

But he ain’t getting my vote.

I appreciate the recognition of courage despite the fact you don't like him. Especially after an event so soon after someone tries to assassinate you.

Most people eventually move past places of trauma. School shootings is an example. Eventually the teachers and students return. Some never do.

I ride a bicycle on the road. I've been "buzzed" by cars on purpose just for kicks a few times. Pretty sure getting hit head on by a car going 55+ is a death sentence. Unfortunately, it's not a matter of if, but when I eventually get hit by a vehicle. I'm not brave. I'm just a guy riding a bike. Is this related to Trump getting shot at? Eh, probably.

Potholes are 5x bigger on a bicycle!
