> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > Trump gave them the honor of being wounded/killed on his behalf, what more could they want from him the greedy bastards. Everything will always and forever be about him. Look at the video when the SS are trying to get him offstage. He’s waving and pumping his fist, oblivious to the hard work of everyone around him to get his ass to safety. It’s his life in a nutshell. He’s been carried his whole life by people around him while he just basks in the adulation and praise for shit he hasn’t done. ---

> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > Look at the video when the SS are trying to get him offstage. He’s waving and pumping his fist, oblivious to the hard work of everyone around him to get his ass to safety. I thought he was flailing around, trying to rescue his shoes so nobody would find out exactly how many inches they’re elevated. I’m also wondering how long it will be before he resigns. Getting shot is a far cry from “suffering” bone spurs, after all. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > I’m also wondering how long it will be before he resigns. He won’t. This is an asshole who can’t even stand the thought that he lost a meaningless popular vote in 2016 and launched an investigation to “prove” fraud. The idea of resigning publicly isn’t even a consideration. ---

Yeah, but now he knows he’s getting shot at. Even someone as dense as he is can understand being a literal target. I see your point about public resignation. So that makes me wonder how he can turn the resignation into something he has no choice but to do and blame it on the usual suspects. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > Yeah, but now he knows he’s getting shot at. Even someone as dense as he is can understand being a literal target. He’s likely proud of that. After all, JFK was shot at. Abraham Lincoln was shot at. Ford and Reagan too. Not all of those efforts were successful; but no doubt as Trump sees it, he’s joining a very exclusive club: Presidents who have had attempted assassinations upon them. And undoubtedly, he will make as much out of this as he can. “Those commie radical Marxist liberal-leftists tried to kill me. Well, I’m still here. MAGA!” And his fans will eat it up. ---

Given the non-stop, un-factchecked, lie fest that is that convention, I’m sure they would. **Especially since the shooter was a registered Republican with an AR-15.** Somehow, this rock solid truth just isn’t getting through to either him or them. He pissed me off by not keeping ‘the temperature down’ as all of the podium roaches there are incapable of doing that. And he pissed me off by just sitting there smirking… like a fat orange toad…basking in the lies. ---

> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > Somehow, this rock solid truth just isn’t getting through to either him or them. This is absolutely true. A Trump cultist friend posted something on FB about a guy named Mark Violets being the shooter and being in custody. This was well after the event, where Crooks was shown on TV being dead. Her post was flagged by FB as being false information. I replied to her post that she was wrong. And then she went off on her typical ‘You never know…’ reply and tried to deflect.
