I know it’s easy to see a still image with no context and assume the worst. Below is a YouTube video showing the entire scene.
Trump did get up when it happened and went over to look at the man. Everyone was already handling it and he turned back around and that’s the still image.
He even updated the press at the end explaining that the man got light headed but was okay.

Trump, looks absolutely unconcerned, the way he looks over at the guy on the floor, is really really how someone looks at a dead animal on the side of the road. He looks borderline annoyed.
Thank you. I really wish people would quit making things up and taking things out of context. There is enough awful stuff going on. Adding fake and out of context junk just makes it harder to get people to believe the real problems when they're shown.
I don't see anything in the video that suggests his reaction is misrepresented in the picture. He stares at the man with apparent frustration and contempt for a few seconds then turns away as shown in the photo.
But it might still be deemed noteworthy if the misinterpretation stemming from this picture happens to be well aligned with the reality of all the horror caused by Trump.
Well he's got form for ignoring people who have hurt themselves. Search up about what he did when an 80 year old guy fell over, hit his head and was bleeding all over the floor.

He turned away, but commented how it was disgusting. And that his "beautiful marble" was changing colour...
