    To give some modicum of credit: I think this was his attempt at talking the lifeguard up. Like: “Wow, you’re such a hero!”

    But the problem is that the exclamation (regardless of truth) is supposed to be like: “Wow, I don’t know if I would’ve been brave enough to do that! You’re a real hero.” Not that you just “might not have” as though saving a human life would be too inconvenient.

    Then the 16-year-old kid gets to feel really brave because even the president thinks they are. (Also doesn’t help that this current POTUS is an abject, selfish coward.)
