🔴🔴DONALD TRUMP has been shot🔴🔴

[BADecker]

Another failed attempt to stop him from running. He should take care of himself as they'll keep on attempting.

Watch for security 'glass' around the podium from now on.

Time will show. I stocked up on popcorn and am watching with interest the progress of the US election race. I have no rational explanation, but there is a strong feeling that it is VERY important for the Democrats to win and they will stop at nothing to maintain the presidency, including a possible physical attempt on Trump's life.

It was a little predictable, but still quite interesting.

The shooter was only 140-150 yards away (that's about 130-40 meters) with a rifle that is good for 200 yards on an elevated position with a clear line of sight with a target that is pretty much stationary. And the shooter had enough time to fire multiple rounds. #luck

The plot thickens when CNBC says the shooter was a registered Republican!

It is either fake news or the guy did it on purpose to create further confusion.

He looks like an average reddit faggot and we all know redditors’ favorite political party

Even before this attack Trump was already elected. The attack just boosted his victory and the idolatry around his image. An attack like that will be heavily explored by his campaign until the end, displaying how violent and contradictory are his opponents, since they talk all the time about pacifism, love and democracy, while trying to murder the candidate of the republican party for the presidency of the United States.

Moreover, several leftists will start posting on social media they are sad for the shot not having hit Trump, and then their posts will be printed and shared by Trump's supporters as evidence of how despicable democrats are.

This story is so repetitive and predictable... It was said Joe Biden called Trump after the attack. I imagine how confused Biden must have been regards what happened and on what he should have told Trump during the call.

Trump is our chance to clean up America, and bring her back under law and order and what is right. If we don't do this, we will be destroyed by our own stupidity. Other nations will conquer us easily. You can see it happening under Biden, already.

It hasn't even been 24 hours and I've already read all sorts of conspiracy theories about it.

A beautiful circus.
An unscratched ear bleeding.
A race won by default.

So the reason he was down so long is they were applying makeup?

I believe Trump would pull such a stunt (I was NOT surprised this happened), but apparently the shooter and an innocent were killed.   Trump would have a harder time convincing someone to sacrifice their life for him - shooting in his direction, but not at him.
<...>

Although, as is always the case with such events, much remains to be explained, in my opinion the chances of this being a false flag shooting are basically 0. The bullets were real, and indeed they killed one and wounded several in the audience, one of them seriously. It would be too much of a stretch for Trump or someone in his entourage to have convinced the shooter to commit suicide, and he would have to make sure that shooting from a distance would only scratch Trump's ear, while doing it on purpose and no matter how skilled the shooter was, would be an obvious risk of death for Trump.

What seems clear to me is that Trump comes out of this stronger. Those who hate him will never vote for him, and not for this either, that's for sure. But I think that after this all the Republicans will get off their asses in November to vote and he is gaining votes from the undecideds that I think he has already started to win with the debate.

Hey, be careful with your replies here. Do you want Bitcointalk to be investigated by law enforcement?

What an odd thing to say. What exactly are you afraid people would say and why? There has been an assassion attempt and we of all places shouldn't talk freely about it? Considering the fact that everyone in the world is talking about it right now.

Telling people to be careful because of law enforcement could watch forums about comments of assassation attempt would be an anomaly that i would be looking for if i was doing investigation as law enforcement data analysist.

The only thing slightly surprising about this are the bizarre conspiracy theories already starting to take form. It was of course inevitable that a rising fascist dictator (see Project 2025) would attract his share of assassins (of varying degrees of competence) hoping to eliminate him before he comes to power. One can only express disappointment at this particular assassin's poor choice of weapon: an AR-15 is barely capable of 3 MOA accuracy on a good day; from 150 meters, it's no wonder he only managed to clip Trump's ear (I'm sure there's a distasteful joke about Trump's barber in here, but it's just not coming to me).

In this photo you can see the actual projectile whizzing past his melon. Moral of the story ...If you stand with Trump then sure as hell don't be standing behind him.

why are you sounlike this mate? Do you think he did that for cheap political advantage? No, its real he was shot ,FBI has identified the 20 years old boy that shot him. I'm shocked at your reply. How would a man like Trump fake such just to get sympathy vote? In America that's well secured, always investigat before you conclude on a thing.

Anti trump people are always like that sadly. I am not talking about pooya particularly, but most of them lost their touch with reality. Trump hate blinded them. Only if they could see how they are getting bamboozled by the demrats.

Today many liberals are truly displaying their hatred of Donald J Trump. They are doing literally everything they can to convince everyone around them that they are insufferable @$$holes and worthless pieces of s@#$ who worship HITLER and SATAN. They want Donald Trump and all Republicans and even Republican voters to be murdered. They also want anyone who disagrees with them in the slightest to also be murdered. Most liberals are insane deranged lunatics who should not be trusted on the roads, around children, with guns, or in any place except for Alcatraz Island chained to a wall.

I did not vote for Trump the last time (I voted third party.), but liberals are convincing me to vote for Trump because of their pure insanity. They all lost their insanity at universities and public schools because they are horrible people who need to be removed from the gene pool. There is nothing more stupid and evil than a modern university graduate. Universities promote violence. I know. I was a professor.

In sad news, we lost Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth.  (unrelated)

And now Shannen Doherty!   What an eventful weekend.

It shows how hypocritical the radicals on the left are when they lose their minds if there is mention of any form of religious doctrine in schools or colleges yet are preaching their own false religious doctrines such as critical race theory and marxism along with other various extremist political doctrines.

If you look at social media there are even so called educators making inappropriate comments related to the shooting with some making it very clear they are disappointed with the shooters performance and other crude comments about their wishes for the demise of a former US president.

These radical extremists have no place in these critical positions and if they are refusing to allow the mention of G-D in schools and colleges then there should be no mention of any form of political discourse let alone such biased extremist views and doctrines. Radical extremists have no place in the political sphere and politics should be moderate and rational at all times respecting one anothers views without having to agree upon them and respecting the freedom of individuals to choose to live how they please once they are not interfering with the dignity or inalieable rights of others.

All extremist politics both right and left have no place in a democratic society because they lead to authoritarian populist demagogues filling the void once people are disillusioned after such views eventually provoke the masses to vote for such figureheads.

How did the security guys let Trump to stand up and let his head over the air like this?

It's dangerous if the gunner was not killed before that. Trump can be shot more and die but the moment shows he is strong or want to impress people that he is strong. He was very lucky as between his ear and his head, it's small difference that can decide his life.

Many conspiracy theories will rise more from this event and failed assassination against Trump.

Somebody is getting fired for this Most likely those idiot snipers who were looking at that direction the whole time and did not see a guy with a rifle crawling on the roof.
I believe that shooter wasn't hired by anyone. It looks like some crazy guy who wanted to go down in history as the next Oswald. He did not think it through because he was killed minutes after taking the shot at Trump and nobody is going to remember him in a few years. Also, if he hated Trump this was the worst thing he could do because that attempt tipped the scales and it will take a miracle for Donald to lose now.

I have read the Heritage foundations proposals and although not being a legal expert cannot see how they could legally force compliance. Surely some of their proposals are unconstitutional for a start?

[Oshio-man]

With my observation in that incident, I think Donald Trump fans want to use that incident to make people to believe that Joe Biden fans are after Donald trump life, because Joe Biden didn't have such evil mind against his opponent in his first tenure and he won the election, which he don't need to use such thing to defeat Donald trump again.

It says on his twitter page @_______?    made me do it. I wouldn't speculate but many vulnerable weaker mined people are heavily influenced by others although this may be just a form of joke on the text shown about the twitter account he makes reference to. I am making NO excuse for why this person commited this crime but from what I gather he was bullied and fell prey to negative type "influencers" .

I cannot load the photos here unfortunately:

Yes, and? That's rarely stopped aspiring dictatorships before.

This is photo of man who won 2024 president elections. You can love him or hate, but how he reacted to this attack is impressive and that fists in the air is gesture of winner. Credits to photograph who made all these photos.
And imagine Biden in same situation, dude probably wouldn't even realize what just did happened.

I believe Trump would pull such a stunt (I was NOT surprised this happened), but apparently the shooter and an innocent were killed.   Trump would have a harder time convincing someone to sacrifice their life for him - shooting in his direction, but not at him.

Yeah, that makes me think that it wasn't staged thing. Sacrificing your life for Trump and also killing random person in crowd... And that shot which touched Trump's ear. It was just to close call when things can go wrong so easily.
