It was inevitable in a country like the USA that this was going to happen. Initially looked like a staged event but was a genuine assassination attempt and a gross failure by the security elements. Even attendies at the rally saw the gunman several minutes before the shooting and warned coppers but Trump was not removed from the stage. Sadly a couple of critical injures and a death of some nearby.
If the Demo’s weren’t already sunk, this will completely bury any hope for sleepy Joe. The Trump camp will use this to great effect and many who may have been wavering about Trump will jump on his band wagon, it promises to be a landslide imho.
Just as an aside, google “Project 2025” read some of the articles and be very very afraid for the American people and the rest of the world if Trump wins and the Repub’s implement some or all of this extreme manifesto. Shades of Gilead out of the Hand Maids Tale series.
I thought it was a silly publicity stunt at first. Apparently not! Several people saw the gunman prior but trumps speech went ahead. The armed offender was said to be on a nearby rooftop approx 120 meters from the stage. The secret service should have arrested the guy to get some answers. Not “neutralize” the shooter by blowing his head half off. 1 other person also killed & 2 people seriously injured I believe. Apparently Trump out of hospital already. Will be interesting to see how he twists this story around?
I am absolutely stunned but I shouldn’t be surprised. These things are common not just in the US. The JFK assassination was shocking and the attempted assisination of former President Ronald Reagan.
Trump showed what a courageous bastard he is the way he defiantly punched his first in the air and seeming to say Fight, Fight towards the crowd. Very lucky this cowardly attempt wasn’t successful or at least more serious.
Trump “dodged a bullet” as the old saying goes only receiving a graze to his ear. Game over for Biden and the Democrats you would think. Careful what you wish for.
It’s going to change the way Trump and any Presidential candidate performs these rallies in future. May have to be closed door events in the future or massive bullet proof shields which Trump won’t like. He loves being up front and close to his supporters.
A lone wolf gunman or something more sinister. Watch this space. Just as I typed that Michael Usher has just said he’s read reports it was a 20 year old with a fascination with anti fascism and guns but they are not reporting his name just yet.
The name of the gunman has just been released. He is/ was a local according to the news. I suppose in future, all the politicians will be standing behind bullet proof screening when speaking outdoors.
Sorry “bone spurs” Vietnam evading hero who took a bullet for the supposed cause,it seems the perpetrator was a gun toting right wing loony registered Republican,so I’d be very surprised you’d be getting any voting spike out of it,as you won’t be able to use your “crooked Joe or radical left” bullshit spiel as the protagonists of your unfortunate incident,but whatever you do Donny boy,don’t say anything negative about firearms, because that would upset your fruit loop gun lobby base,so we wouldn’t want to have that would we??

Lol, they have learned he previously made a donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning democratic politicians. Probably registered himself with the Republican party so he could get close to Trump at one of his rallies.
Well the kid donated $15 to this group as a 17 year old,Donald Duck donated 1000’s to the Clinton’s before he became a so called Conservative, so are we to believe that the soft leftie libs are gun toting lunatics that sleepy Joe is using to assassinate his political rivals???

That would be pretty funny RL if Biden ordered the hit on Trump as he would be immune from prosecution after the US Supreme Court said so.
What’s even more disturbing and not really being spoken about is the fact that over the weekend gun laws in the USA softened again, and you can now purchase ammunition direct from, vending machines in places like Walmart, you no longer have to go into a camping or outdoor store and show a licence.
They are just making it easier to use a gun in the USA
Royal and Ti will be in tears for a while, but they will be happy once Trumpy cleans up the mess – hopefully followed by Vivek or Tulsi.
Put criminals in jail and dinghy ones. Stop migration from people that hate the American way. Less bureaucracy. Wipe out the deep state. Build the wall. Finish the war in Ukraine but insisting NATO pull their head in.
Continue the good work of the Abraham accords to bring a realistic peace deal to Israel. Put a holt to DEI or DIE. Crush and demask Antifa. Clean up the homeless with forced drug detox.
Expose the BLM corruption and make the perps pay. Anyone burning down a public building to be made sure to know it’s not a thing anymore. Thugs harassing dinners for eating meat – jail.

I am hoping Tucker Carlson runs for office as Trump’s second term comes to an end. If not another Republican with balls and smarts.
Hang on DD. I thought you would have picked up by now that I’m a conservative voter through and through but I just think Trump is a dangerous, egotistical nut and other Republicans would make far better presidents than him. His first term was chaotic and insiders in his administration say he didn’t have a clue on what he was doing evidenced by the farcical sackings of senior staff almost on a daily basis. The fact he was beaten by a silly old prick like Biden at the last election says it all.
Yeh well we will always agree to disagree on that one it seems BC though I hope when Trump has finished with his second term in office you will change your mind. It’s a pity the US only allows presidents to only serve two terms but Trump is 78 but I think unlike dopey Joe he is more than capable of running for another term beyond the next one.
What you fail to understand and grasp is the western civilizations are fed up with the destruction of our countries that are being destroyed by this globalisation bullshit where we have to feel obligated to allow migrants in from anywhere and everywhere who are causing massive problems with crime and dragging us into their religious bullshit. That’s why leaders like Trump are popular.
I actually voted for ScoMo at the previous election,as my income had dropped 30% which made me eligible for jobkeeper which helped keep me afloat,so I was very appreciative of the role he played in that,and previous to that a donkey vote or 2,so you and TFAF have got that horribly wrong,which explains why you are both being duped by Scam artists Trump,Carlson and Co.I’ve got a couple of Slow Bob uncles who gather their information from the same right wing propaganda channels,and have told them to look at all media outlets,and not one slanted view.but all to no avail.so keep on believing your Qanon deep state B.S boys.
