Because politics. That's it. That's the whole reason. If Trump had actually died it would give MAGA assholes even more "proof" that the "liberals" are out to get them. Since he survived everyone is working overtime to attempt to prevent the right from spiraling things even more out of control. Personally I would have been fine if he didn't make it, but that would also harden the MAGA crowd.
I mean, the left is out to get them, and they're out to get the left. When I was younger people of different political beliefs talked about them, found commonalities, and agreed to disagree on certain topics that they strongly felt the other was wrong about. Now everyone is out to get "the other side", as if we were total enemies. Of course trump and the people like trump that came before him, like Rush Limbaugh, engineered it to be this way. If we're all busy fighting each other, then we're not watching them as they pillage the nation.

From my studying of history American politics have been "us" vs "them" since George Washington stepped down after two terms.
It was even before that. Washington had a rough second term thanks to "us" is "them".
