Trump rushed off stage after possible assassination attempt

[Hanaguma]

I have to say Trump showed some rather large balls the way he handled almost being murdered. Standing up, acknowledging the crowd, was impressive.

 

And before any naysayers appear, I would ask you this- have YOU ever been shot at? I have, and it is an unnerving experience. Even when it is just part of a training exercise and actually safe (as happened to me), it still turns your bowels to water. For Trump to stand up withing 45 seconds and respond as he did showed guts.

I'm basically saying that being registered as a Repub means nothing, especially for a 20 year old who may have never voted before, just 2 years into adulthood.  And whose parents are registered Dems (according to....sources...).  He may have just registered Repub to rebel against Mom and Dad. I did stupid stuff at that age.

If you look at the video, he was turned facing the direction of the shooter when he reached up to his ear.

Per the map, the shooter was to the left of Trump.

 

When Trump turned, he turned towards his right.

 

Perhaps I am dyslexic or the NY Times flipped the map.

Trump didn't leave without a fight.

 

The idea that he wouldn't fight harder and smarter next time is laughable.

 

Nah, he left. There's no way for him to stay forever and he didn't do it before, so there's no reason to say that if he wins he'll stay forever.

 

It's just more lies told about Trump. Pretty irresponsible lies at that.

 

The best we can hope is that the never-Trumpers are just so stupid that they didn't realise what they were doing. Di Nero certainly seems stupid.

 

Unfortunately, some people believe the never-Trunpers' lies and things like this happen.

It appears that one of the teleprompters was clipped by a bullet, and slivers came off. 

 

I have not yet seen a closeup of the damaged teleprompter.

Note on the news they report the shooter as a “registered republican” but don’t disclose the previous financial donation to Biden campaign. Things that make you go hmmm

Trump left after the insurrection. Don't you think next time, he would fight harder and smarter?

Maybe it was a warning to The Don. ''See what we can do, if you don't stop interfering with; business as usual.''

 

And if that isn't enough Don, ''join us in the secret White House Room, where we have unpublished footage of Dallas in the early 1960s.''

The person who donated to Act Blue was a 69 year old with the same name.

So Trump use teleprompter that probably save his life. What an irony. So much for mocking Biden.

Or the cause.  Could it had been a remark Biden made on July 8th by Biden?  “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”  Can you imagine if Trump had said this and this happened to Biden?  Did you notice CNN first reported Trump fell off the stage?  Did you know Democrats in the last 10 days or so voted on a bill to cut Secret Service support for Trump.  Or CNN took up half the front page with a story about Israel killing civilians going after a Hamas leader?  The Left is Evil.

Can you image if Trump said "there will be a 'bloodbath' if he loses the election".

Trump has been fomenting violence ad nauseum, seems it may have come back and bit him on the 'ear'.

Trump says there will be a 'bloodbath' if he loses the election (nbcnews.com)

He was a registered Republican

 

However, Crooks, who lived about an hour away from where the Trump rally shooting took place, had made a $15 donation at age 17 to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for Democratic and left-leaning politicians, Reuters reported, citing a 2021 Federal Election Commission filing.

     --Who was Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspected Donald Trump rally shooter?

But many MAGA are still trying to blame Biden

for the assassination attempt ,

 

Biden appointed an incompetent to head up the SS. Main mission is to hire more women, fits w/ DEI agenda. Admin didn't take Trump's security seriously enough. Incredible, amateurish security failure at multiple points, even getting Trump off the stage. Pathetic vid of female agent unable to holster her weapon, others milling around Trump's armored vehicle, one concerned about her sunglasses.

 

Plus you have all the absurd leftist inflammatory rhetoric condoned by Biden, suggesting just the other day Trump should be in a "bullseye." He has nothing to run on now except Trump hate.

 

The shooter, like all leftists, probably lapped up all this demonizing typical of Dims, while exposed only to fake news promoted by Biden and his agencies.

 

 

Propaganda duly believed and parroted by the gullible posters here, of course:

There was no "insurrection", and Trump left because he was voted out.

 

Of course he will leave at the end of his term, if elected. The idea that he won't is pure fantasy, concocted by the never-Trumpers to try to keep him out of office.

You are taking his words totally out of context. But something the right does frequently

 'bloodbath'  remember that one?, i'm pretty sure you were one of those here that claimed it meant violence if he wasn't re-elected!

  he left bias media is constantly taking things trump said out of context, or editing it totally, people like you just lap it up because it fits with your hatred of the guy.

One of the teleprompters seems to have been nicked by a bullet.

An indirect hit seems more likely to me. But we'd better wait for the report, a speculative correction of a speculative correction of a speculation is bound to be wrong somewhere.

Only correcting which way Trump was facing when the attack occurred as can be clearly seen in the video.

If you want to assume that is 3rd level speculation then you need help.

You said "the bullet hit the back of his right ear". Which is clear speculation. It is entirely possible there was no direct hit.If you claim not to be speculating you need help.

Relevance? Zero. Most crimes are committed with illegal guns to begin with.

I question your reasoning here. Of the mass shootings in the USA were the guns used illegal? I am thinking, and true in this case, the guns were legally purchased.
