Donald Trump - Gun Shots in his vicinity

I know American politics is ludicrously polarised, and I know the bloke is an idiot, but it does seem to me to be a terrible state of affairs that we are now so inured to this that we think it is a fit subject for jokes. It’s fatuous but true nonetheless to say that either murdering the politician you don’t like is never acceptable or it is always acceptable. I know which world I would rather live in. Even those who argue that there must be some who are bad enough to justify it have to argue against the message of history that assassination more often than not produces something worse. The state of US politics is not a cause for amusement.

It's almost certainly fake to garner more votes. So we can laugh
 
Yeh, thak god trump intervened and used his magic powers to deflect the bullet away just enough so it only scraped his ear

Now god can go back to his heavenly sofa and watch in complete indifference at famine, disease, natural disasters, wars etc etc
 
Trump is rumoured to be having an affair with Republican far right nutjob 9/11 conspiracy theorist (and other conspiracy theories) Laura Loomer. She's also a part time Neo-Nazi, which is fun.

She was banned from Twitter before Elon took over for posting Nazi stuff and as a response she chained herself to the door of Twitter HQ. As soon as Elon bought Twitter, he unbanned her.

She's genuinely mentally ill, absolutely devoted to Trump and now she has his ear. His staffers are in panic mode about it which is hilarious, though.
 
It's amazing how quick the fake stuff appears online after something like this.

Multiple screenshots of the suspect as a Democrat, as a Republican, voting history has appeared supporting both sides. Posts on twitter suggesting both.

It's no wonder people get lost in rabbit holes when you can so quickly see the information supporting your own bias so readily available.
 
The man suspected of trying to shoot him has posted on social media that he voted for him in 2016. It doesn't seem to be some 'lefty', more a disgruntled ex-voter. He had a camera and bits of pieces tied to a fence- added to the fact he was seen because he was moving around in the bushes - so he wasn't exactly lurking in the shadows.

Like with everything else to do with this orange pig, I smell a rat.
 
I can't be the only one who thinks this is a desperate attempt to change the narrative in the press. He has had as bad a week as its possible to get. Disastrous debate performance, then the Laura Loomer links and her staying at Mar-a-Lago while Melania isn't around. Then to top it off he takes her to the 9/11 Memorial ceremony. This is a cynical attempt to get all this off the front pages. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Loomer now quietly disappears into the shadows.

This is almost certainly what's happening

The legacy media will fall for it, as usual.
 
Ffs people are actually thinking this some sort of Trump plot, I hate everything he stands for but it is quite a stretch that some dude would risk his life or spending the rest of it in prison to help out Trumps presidential campaign lol he just attracts all the crack pots out there

Is it?

There are plenty of nutters willing to do stuff for money.
 
It is not beyond the bounds of credibility that some complete nutter firing a rifle into the air within the vicinity of the golf club could in his warped mind think it would garner sympathy for the Trump campaign. These guys don't think of the consequences. As for Trump or any of his cabal paying him to do it I find that is even beyond his capability to cover it up.
 
It's eminently possible that Trump is alienating all but his loyalest MAGA fans who will twist themselves in knots to support whatever he decides he believes from one day to the next. It would be no surprise if one of his voters attempted to off him.
Trump, being a populist, will support all sorts of contradictory stuff if it helps him.
His stance on abortion will be seen by some of his voters as too extreme and by others as not extreme enough.
His position on immigration will also cause issues in the same way.
For one of his own supporters to make an attempt on his life is, I'd say, far more likely given that he's campaigned in pursuit of people who you'd class as having a tendency to more extreme viewpoints, including towards the use of violence.
The "left" has it's own share of potential nutters, but I'd say the odds of it being a GOP voter are way higher.

Blame Musk and Trump for that.

They're the biggest peddlers of conspiracies in the West.

It's easy to believe they'd be involved in genuine conspiracies themselves.

Absolutely agree they pedal them and millions believe in them or want to believe in them instead just applying a bit of critical thinking to highlight the absurdity of them
