Apparently someone tried to assassinate Trump
I really don't approve of violence for political purposes, but I can't help but feel that the mongrel thoroughly deserves this or something like it. It's a pity the shot went wild. Apparently the shooter is dead according to the abc.
The real downside is that he's going to make political hay out of this - it's a real gimme for motivating his voter base. Maybe even to saint and martyr status.
If the shot had struck home, he WOULD be a martyr. This is better
Yeah but there would be no one equivalent to replace him, so the traditionalist republicans might have a chance at regaining the party back from MAGAs.
Depending on how this plays out this could also stir up the public over there in not so good ways.
Trump’s going to ride this out and take it to his advantage sadly, I just hope he doesn’t kick the hornet’s nest with his supporters.
I doubt he'll be able to stop himself. Too many self aggrandizing jollies on offer.
Unfortunately his son already declared that it was the extreme left that did it so it’s already political sadly.
Shame they missed even if I don’t condone it.
I sadly think that just secured a MAGA victory. When I saw the photo of a triumphant Trump leaving the stage whilst fist pumping and bleeding, I thought OMG this is going to send MAGA supporters even deeper into blind frenzy hero worship. Project 2025 here we go.
😭😭😭
If only there were a baby near by this could have been a Dead Zone moment when Trump's evil would be displayed for all to see.

I'm afraid you're right.
Also, that blood looked too red for blood that wasn't spurting.
They keep replaying it over and over on the TV. Disappointingly they miss every single time.
Was it staged? That pose at the end 🤢
No.
It’s very, very hard to aim precisely enough to hit someone’s ear but not the rest of their head. That’s an absurdly precise shot to attempt deliberately.
It can’t be a BB gun or something either. They lose velocity really quickly over any sort of distance, so his ear wouldn’t go to pieces like that with a BB pellet.
Real gun, real attempt.
Can I just say "lol"? That's my first response...
Please please let him die. What a horrible thing to say but man I can’t see this all ending well if he lives.
No. If he dies, it’s war immediately
I doubt it. He’s a leader of a cult, not Martyr. they know what happened to to folks on Jan 6th, and they know if he’s dead he can’t save them.
It’s all well and good to say you’re prepared to die for him, but actually doing it (especially once he is already dead) is another thing entirely.
and got his ear…
Trump's wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift.
I am not joking but he really is evil
Ah shit... That's not going to end well
Jeez this isn't going to end well.
Wow. Shit. Never thought I’d see that
