Yeah, i saw something about police snipers taking him out.

On that note, 110% of the right wing believes biden and/or obama ordered a hit on trump.

Obviously a potato can't order a hit.

Right now Biden's team is pausing all campaign adds. I guess they don't wanna be seen attacking Trump to help with the narrative that Trump is going to push.

I feel like Trump staged that for sympathy and get support from people on the fence.

I thought that too, but we've got a dead shooter and a dead spectator in the audience. For this kinda conspiritorial thinking to be true, the shooter would've had to have wanted to kill an innocent audience member as well as be gunned down on his own.

Not impossible, but incredibly unlikely.

As someone who's seen how crazy the Trump cult is, I would not be shocked if that was part of the plan. It just doesn't make sense to me how the shooter apparently shot multiple times, but only grazed Trump's ear, how the Secret Service did not try to get Trump out of there, and how the crowd in the back ducked half-assedly instead of fully and/or running away.

When there were shots heard, people were scrambling to get away, and the Secret Service were trying to get Trump out and to safety. For all we know, the shooter could have gone rogue for whatever reason.

Just stick with what we know. A man shot at Trump. A person was killed. A person was injured. Trump was barely injured. The man that shot was killed.

And now we know the guy was registered as a Republican. A never Trumper Republican from the way it seems because... what other reason would a registered Republican have to gun down Donald Trump?

I can imagine a "Never Trumper" Republican voting for a Dem, but I cannot imagine them ever shooting a republican.

Also, I hate the whole high road schtick that Dems keep doing, especially for a guy that would make fun of other Dems getting hurt. This shit is exactly what helps Republicans get what they want. If Biden was in that situation, Trump would be talking shit. Didn't he make fun of Nancy Pelosi's husband after he was attacked?

Not just him. Tim Pool, Charlie Kirk, Nick Fuentes, a bunch of people. But it's not smart to get in the muck starting gun fights with a party that's been having wet dreams about civil war for generations. They've been stockpiling guns for an opportunity to gun down their imagined oppressors.

I'm not talking with any of my Republican co workers about this until I've bought a gun.

The shot was too close to be a conspiracy . It grazed his ears.

Not the bullet though. It was glass from the bullet hitting the teleprompter.

But yeah, not a conspiracy.

There's probably plenty if mental illness is involved. It's not like there was much logic going on with Hinckley Jr or Chapman.

Speaking of Hinckley, this election is over probably. Whether the man was a Never Trumper or not, he just handed Trump the biggest gift he could ever receive. Just look at Reagan or Bolsonaro after their attempts.

...yeah.

Unless the current president decided to "official act" him outta the campaign it's pretty much done. Even if Biden dropped out for someone else, the entire party will have the stink of a Trump assassination attempt that the cousin fuckers just won't be able to get past.

I imagine that the murder attempt won't be good for trumps mental health... Something else to look forward when president potato gets his ass handed to him at the elections.

A current Twitter stream going on where Destiny is surrounded by like 40 conservatives and Republicans, debating them on how he doesn't give a fuck about Republicans getting shot anymore lmfao. And when I say Republicans, I mean Marjorie Taylor Greene is in the damn room. Lil homie getting closer to the white house lol.

One of the worst assassination attempt ever seen, how can someone miss a stationary target like that and people call it divine intervention lol. There is no professionalism in it, more like a random angry citizen pulling the trigger.

Gotta love US politics. The people who for years have been screaming at the top of their lungs that democrats are adrenochrome fueled child rapists are now claiming biden personally has been inciting political violence (obviously democrats in general as well). US is 20 years away from becoming somalia...

Maybe not gun fights, but politically Dems need to start getting on Republicans' level before reps take away more rights and work the system to favor them. I don't know how true it is since the source may be biased towards Dems, but I've read that if Republicans weren't gerrymandering and making it harder for Dem voters to go to the polls, they'd lose in tons of places overwhelmingly.

The shot was too close to be a conspiracy . It grazed his ears.
That doesn't make it not a conspiracy. His ear got clipped, but it's a minor wound. If any other part of his body got hit, and he wasn't protected, then I'd definitely believe it was real, but everything I saw from the clip indicates it could have been fake.


...yeah.

It's annoying because the shooter was a registered republican, not a Dem or the left. Plus, you can count on the violence from the left and from Dem since 2016 on one hand, probably, which would still likely be fewer than violence from the right in one month.

The funny part about this is that Republicans are the ones that have been calling for violence since 2016, at latest, while Democrats keep talking about unity with the very people that want to kill them.

It's just going to be narcissism fuel.

This seems to only be being spun by conspiracy sites. There's a pretty clear photograph of the bullet passing by his head. I also don't really get why it matters, though. Not a Trump fan but being to close to assassination isn't something I'd downplay by semantics of what trajectory hit me.

The problem with going down the conspiracy route here is you will never know if you're right or not. If I were going to set up an assassination attempt on myself I certainly wouldn't have the shooter be some 20 year old kid with no training. You'd be more worried about them accidentally hitting you than anything. Shooting anything from that distance is pretty tough even with the proper optics and training. It's just as difficult to say you won't hit something.

I also think if it was some conspiracy they'd of planned it better. Why make the patsy a registered Republican at all if it's some conspiracy? It's not hard to register for a political party. Political party is also not an indication of political beliefs. When I lived in Utah in a very Republican area I actually registered as a Republican because doing so was required to vote in the primaries, and the primaries were the elections in Utah (unless you lived in Salt Lake, where the mayor and representative to the USA were Democrat). I'm not a Republican at all, but if you looked me up at the time you'd of found that information, and I'm not outwardly political so it'd be all you have to go off of.
