Assassination attempt on Trump (5 Viewers)

Trump is alive, but his ear was bleeding

Yeah everything in this thread is way to early to be credible.

Right. just look at the news 30 mins after the story broke. You had CNN telling the world that Trump fell, while X/Twitter were saying that Trump was shot.

It’s going to be some time before the truth comes out (if it does).

When calling people idiots, make sure you get their name right.

Ahhh, bless your heart child. Now don't you fret none, cause I didn't call anyone an idiot. I said they vote in idiotic ways, like voting for RFK Jr or Trump. I must have JFK on the brain because of today's assassination attempt. Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I'm glad you understand that voting for RFK Jr. or Trump is idiotic. Now run along and play, child.

What’s the point of the whole line of questioning? Are you saying Trump is racist against Hispanics and wants them all out of the country?

If so, they don’t seem to agree. He got a higher percentage of Hispanic votes than every republican since Nixon other than Reagan and W. And he will likely pass them this time.

Thank you for speaking for Hispanics. You're definitely in the know.

It’s always a different time, a different conversation. All that really means is let’s never talk about common sense gun regulations.

Reminds me of my father. Just today my dad called me a sick and twisted idiot that's out to get him. True story.

I calmly said, "let's talk about that, dad." He responded, "I don't want to. We'll talk about it later." My father has emotional and psychological issues and is probably in the early stages of Lewy bodies dementia, so I understand why he's that way.

I’m afraid he can’t do that. His pathology will not allow it. I will be pleasantly surprised if he doesn’t immediately echo that butt crevasse Congressman.

I hope Trump at least waits until the adrenaline wears off before he takes to social media.

I hope Trump at least waits until the adrenaline wears off before he takes to social media.

he'll soon blame Biden and the DOJ for this attempt..

 

[Heathen]

How in the actual fug did SS not notice this guy?

And yes - obviously, this is going to drum up a hell of a lot of rabid angry support (more than there was already) among Trump’s faithful.

Things are gonna get wild this Fall of 2024 in the backsliding democracy of the United States of America

Collins is an idiot for saying that, but do you think it's necessary at this point to be demanding people condem others for what they've said about the shooting?

You mean just like you condemned people in this thread for what they've said in this thread about the shooting? Is that what you're asking "is it necessary to do?"

 

[LA - L.A.]

Don't you have a democracy to save?

He does, he is and he was working toward that when he asked you what he asked you. You're behavior is part of what we have to save our democracy from.

What a weird story. The shooter was a registered Republican that donated to the…



These twists and turns are going to cause whiplash.

 

[LA - L.A.]

I get that but who cares about that right now?

Apparently you do, because you've condemned some people for what they've said in this thread. You only condemn or get behind condemning people for what they say when you don't like and/or you disagree with what they say. That says a lot about why you're complaining about people condemning Collins for what he said.

Thank you for speaking for Hispanics. You're definitely in the know.

NYT poll two weeks ago had Biden at 47% and Trump 46% among Hispanics.

As for republican history….Trump got 32% in 2020. McCain got 31, Romney 27, Dole 21, Ford 18.

Reagan and W were 35%. Actually Reagan went up to 37% in 84 and W went up to 40 in 04. I think Trump definitely gets in the 35-40% range this time. Maybe better.

He actually does pretty well with that demographic for a republican.

It won’t blow the country up. It’s tense and uncomfortable but it won’t blow the country up. I’ve been through this before.

We don’t even have a clue about motive yet.

Me too. I was a freshman in high school when Hinckley shot Reagan and there was a lot of rhetorical vitriol back then too. We got through that without blowing up.

If this does blow us up as a country, then it will be because Trump and his fascists use it to blow up the country. The thing is, they need our cooperation to do that and I don't think we'll be obliging them.

My expectation is that for a week or two Trump's reaction might be seen favorably by some, but after that Trump will expose even more just how terrible a person he is and how bad his intentions and the intentions of those around him are.

He always lies and whines about being a victim. I expect him to go nuclear with this, because he's honestly a victim in this. For a while people, who aren't already his supporters, will have sympathy for him. Eventually, they'll want him to shut the hell up about it. Trump won't be able to shut up about it and he will keep making all kinds of false accusations about it and making all kinds of threats of retribution too, until people get pissed off at him for telling obvious lies and making threats.

That's what I expect will happen. That doesn't mean it will and it's just as likely that it won't happen. This has as a much potential for Trump to ruin himself for good with, as it does for him to use it to his advantage.

 

[LA - L.A.]

This is why I don’t have social media. Not sure how people can believe anything these days. It’s not about truth it’s about lines and followers and making money.

It doesn't take much of an effort to sort out what is and isn't truth on social media and in news media. It only requires the desire and willingness to sort out the truth from lies.

 

[LA - L.A.]

And so it begins. Trump is asserting he was hit by a bullet. I hope he doesn’t get away with lying about something like this. Also his campaign is already blaming Biden.

Never acknowledging that Trump says far worse things about Biden destroying the country and has been saying that shirt for years.

Trump is chosing the path of self-ruination, so it seems.

Just to be clear terrorist are mentally disturbed.

Define what you mean by mentally disturbed. If you mean insane or having a mental disorder of some kind, then no. Not all terrorist or people who kill or try to kill people are insane or have a mental disorder.
