Moderating: > [@Leaper](#): > > If I had any hope that it’d make anyone think differently, I’d say that liberals just need to repeat over and over that this is a false flag operation to boost Trump. Let’s save the political ramifications discussion for another time and try and leave this thread for discussion of what’s actually happening with this situation today. Despite being in P&E, it is a breaking news thread. It’s very difficult to discuss without some politics creeping in, but let’s not make speculation the main focus. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > Are the people who run security for Trump’s rallies so convinced that liberals are unarmed wimps that they’ve become lax? I think it would be wise to not assume _anything_ who did this at this point. Unfortunately there are far too many unhinged people in this country at this point to do that. This person may have simply wanted the attention, to go out in a blaze of ‘glory,’ etc. etc. etc. ---

Biden still has just a shit-ton of class and grace, just like most Presidents of yore. Which is apparently a visceral turnoff to about a third of the country. ---

The internet is ahead of the news of course. There is video of ESU approaching the body of the shooter on the roof. All you can see is he appears to be a white male wearing a military themed t shirt. ---

Just tuning into this news. The news is being very careful not to say Trump was hit. Does the blood on his face have another explanation, like being tackled by security? ---

Some reports said he was hit by glass, possibly by a teleprompter screen that was hit. It’s not clear. ---

He reached up to touch his ear before SS got to him. _Seems_ like he got skimmed by a bullet. But I have no factual information about that. But, sure seems like it.
