Trump shot at his own rally


Recommended Posts

There are reports that Trump is apparently alright at this time. This is the moment that many of us dreaded, when some lunatic with TDS decided to go that extra step.

Wonder if the injury is from a bullet or from secret service jumping on him. 

edit:  in the footage it looks like he was grazed on his ear by a bullet

That happened before. You can see him reach up during the gunshots as he felt something there. 

LOL, when people have to tell you they are ignoring you...

Leftists incited an assassination attempt on a former president

Can we not jump on conclusions just yet? 

You may have the right intuition, but many people have killed celebrities because of mental issues in the past. I haven't seen a broad movement on the Left to incite the assassination of Donald Trump.

I don't think the Democrats shot at Trump.

Wait till more TDS lunatics start posting vile things online about this. We know what kind of things they'll be saying.

The media will probably blame Trump for this.

I haven't heard a thing yet about a suspect. Surely there would be cameras pointing everywhere at events like this?

democrats shot at Trump, for sure, but yes, you're right. If it were an offcial act of the democrat party, Trump would probably be dead. 

Still, it's really stupid to think that they don't take this as good news.

Now, imagine if Trump said this about Biden or any other Democrat and they were shot at...

If it were a right winger, it would already be front news. Some rumours (unconfirmed, take it with a boulder of salt) point to an Antifa member.

Ok there is violence on the left political spectrum. But this is preposterous. It's an expression, not a call to kill Donald Trump.

You said "the Democrat Party".

If this were the other way around, it would be non-stop 24/7 wall to wall media coverage about how Republicans have caused this environment with all their hateful rhetoric... but since it is Trump... 

Like, gee, maybe you shouldn't tell everyone that Trump is literally Hitler and if he wins this election it will literally be rounding people up and killing them... 

Nah... since it is Democrats pushing that garbage, very little will be said. 

If it were the other way around MAGA would be telling us it’s a false flag conspiracy. 
 

Every political party on earth has fringe hateful extremists but the Republican party has made hateful extremism mainstream   This attack doesn’t change that fact.  Nor does it change the fact that the heightened tension that has only escalated since Trump first entered the picture in has been primarily driven by Republicans. “Always dial it up to 11” has the been standard MAGA M.O. Would this shooter still have done what he did in a different climate?  Maybe. Maybe not. 
 

Anyway Trump seems to now have his Reichstag Fire moment, regardless of whether the attack was real (as it seems to be so far) it will be used as justification for previously unthinkable actions by Republicans in the future. Just you wait.

LOL, I couldn't script this better if I tried. 

Here you come, continuing on with the Hitler comparisons.

They are already complaining on the CBC that Republicans are politicizing this and that Trump could be a martyr.

Even on this particular thread, it didn't take very long for someone to bring up the absurd comparison to Hitler. It's this kind of hateful rhetoric that just adds fuel to the fire.
