tbh i'm surprised it has taken this long for someone to have a go at him...

The last thing the world needs is this clown being elevated to martyr.

This is going to play into his hands, he's going to ring the last drop out of it.

Exactly. My dark side thinks this was orchestrated...

That wouldn't surprise me; that man is utterly ruthless & lacking in empathy. Either way, he's sure to make much of this.
That creature's a convicted felon fgs & there are still those who think he's wonderful.
A lot of people also thought Hitler was wonderful & had the answers to all their problems, too...

Mine too. That perfect photo that his son loaded on to Twitter almost immediately COULD have been a lucky shot but it was just too perfect, with the fetching trickle of blood and the flag against the blue American sky.

Twitter is boiling with comment on this. One of the better ones:
"Someone just tried to assasinate Donald Trump. ?
We shouldn’t be depending on this to happen, he should be gone already after committing treason against America. ??
…it’s literally a law. ⚖️
Him putting his fist up in the air and mouthing “fight” with blood coming from his face will be posted everywhere, which makes it feel like a setup.
Either way - someone needed more time at the range. ??♂️"

That shooter certainly needed more target practice, in this case it could have saved trumps life.
It appears that Trump turned his head just as the shot was fired, so the bullet went past his head and clipped his ear.
Feel sorry for the victims families.

Worth noting that as details of the dead shooter are released there are claims he was a 20 year old registered Republican. If accurate what's up with that?
RE: Trump rally shooting... - Lilith7 - 14-07-2024
A Republican? If that's true then perhaps not all Republicans have fallen for Trump's BS.
Either way, he's going to milk this for all its worth - cue Trump, the noble almost martyr ad nausem,& heaven help America...

Biden is likely in just as much danger as Trump.
There is simply just too much tension across the whole political spectrum.
RE: Trump rally shooting... - Oh_hunnihunni - 14-07-2024
I dunno ct... I'm feeling a conspiracy theory coming on, lol...
And no way where they close to civil war. The reaction was overwhelming sheer shock. Then, once that wore off - well as they say, an inch is as good as a mile...

the details are actually his fathers who is a well respected citizen , the perp has a arp sheet for vionce & is said to be a member of ANTIFA not surprising look at the the killings they were responsible for during the election along side their mates BLM they won the election for Biden with their anti Trump campaign
RE: Trump rally shooting... - zqwerty - 15-07-2024
I saw a screen shot of a post yesterday from the perp, at least someone with his name asking God for help with his quest of ridding the world of all things associated with Jeffrey Epstein, Trump would meet that criteria.
joe 90, you are mistaken: "Earlier posts on X, Telegram and Gab, forums favored by many on the far-right, misidentified the shooter as a man called Mark Violets, calling him a “known Antifa extremist” which refers to the loosely organized leftist movement. According to NBC News, the misidentified person circulated in posts that included a photo was Marco Violi, an Italian YouTuber who has denied any involvement in the shooting."
