I've seen people injured when hiking with worse injuries who make less of a deal about it. I also know lots of people who were hit by cars including myself Apparently the town near Mar-a-Lago is also getting pissed off because they've closed the main road near him inconveniencing everyone at palm beach because he needs to be "protected", whilst he's still out campaigning and seeing thousands of people.
