I agree. This is very serious and something I am sure Trump will milk for all it is worth. I also think this increases the threat to Biden as some lunatic out there will feel payback is in order.
I don’t think Trump will accuse Biden by name. I think he’ll go for a generic “they tried to kill me” and leave it to his supporters to figure out who “they” are. And leave his opponents trying to disprove such a nebulous accusation.
Personally I’m under the impression that assignment to Trump’s detail is a punishment and the Secret Service hates him. I didn’t see any agents diving in front of those bullets nor did they try to lower his arm when he was waving it around to give any potential second shooters a point of aim.
Watching the video, they were covering him in place, because there was still an active shooter. The moment that they said “shooter is down,” the Secret Service immediately got him off the stage and into the SUV.
If the shooter turns out to be an illegal immigrant, that will be bad news for Biden, sadly.
The far better comparison is Teddy Roosevelt’s surviving a bullet aimed at his heart in 1912. He the got more votes than the incumbent President.
And don’t nitpick that he didn’t win. There won’t be four people running in 2024 and nobody is around to split the Republican vote.
Nah…they will just start erecting bullet-proof glass in front of where he is speaking. Such things exist, I remember Obama using them. Since Trump is a candidate I think the SS will pay for it and not his campaign (and probably other added security).
A bullet nicking his ear would not be deafening. A gun fired nearby is deafening; not so much a bullet whizzing by.
Not really sure where you’re getting the brain damage either. Maybe a mild concussion from being tackled by Secret Service. Certainly no brain damage from the ear impact.
There’s supposed footage of the SS sniper taking out the shooter. All you can see is him trained on something and then firing. He was trained on something well before firing.
I strongly suspect that he was sitting there thinking “Who the fuck is that guy? Is he with us? oh…SHIT.”
This. Bigly.
All I’m saying is he needs to do a 90-minute in-depth policy interview with the New York Times editorial board and several open press conferences to prove that he shouldn’t drop out because of his obvious mental decline.
And if, as he claims on Twooth Social, that the bullet is lodged in his ear, that’s potentially a lot more serious than “whizzing by”.
IIRC this was something any president could do even before the Supreme Court case.
None do since they all want that protection after they leave office.
Perhaps but on the other hand perhaps this will motivate him to quit. His life is under constant threat even with a solid bubble of protection around him. He has no freedom of movement. Everywhere he goes there could be somebody on a rooftop with an AR-15. Forever. That makes a compelling case for him to drop out and let the other guy deal with those worries instead.
I can also foresee Trump having a stress-induced heart attack or stroke. I bet it has been a long time since Trump has had a big dump of adrenaline into his system. Can’t be good for him. And we know Trump has no idea how to process trauma nor does he know how to ask for help.
Strange coincidence he hosts a dictator in palm beach, one who is fresh off a visit with a Putin? I call false flag Can donny be way in over his head with his authoritian bromances.
Yall…good lord…being a dictator is a full-time job. And you need the full backing of an army with little to no opposition. You don’t just take the oath, and suddenly the army is going to do anything you want. And even if he did raise his own Praetorial guard in the wake of the SS (Irony there) failing to protect him, he still has to deal with all the states that would oppose his “dicatorship” Who DO have their own armies.
8 years of “Trump is Hitler”…and the sitting administration wishes him a speedy recovery? Well then isnt Biden and Obama enabling Hitler??
One good news- the headlines calling on Biden to drop out will be gone.
Let me spell out whats going to happen and we can bet on it if you like
Trump will increase his security with his own money if he has to. He wont drop out. He wont lessen his appearances. He will beat Biden handily. (Or Kamala) He wont become a dictator. He wont cancel the election or nullify the two term amendment And in 2028 it will be Newsom vs Somebody.
If the shooter turns out to be an illegal immigrant, that will be bad news for Biden, sadly.
I think the Biden Supporters prefer “Undocumented” over “Illegal”
It’s definitely going to be hard to argue that Biden is unfit because he sounds old when his opponent has literally been shot in the head, that’s for sure.
Since when does Trump have his own money?
