Yeah, we were already planning to vote early and be outside the U.S. on election Day, but this definitely seals the deal. ---

Perhaps Trump’s injury is worse than it initially seemed and they’re trying to keep quiet until they know how things are going to turn out. The fact that he hasn’t already done a video message for his fans suggests more than just a flesh wound. ---

The fact that he hasn’t already done a video message for his fans suggests more than just a flesh wound. Or maybe he’s so shook up they wouldn’t be able to get a coherent – even allowing for his limits – video that they can put out. Could be the Truth Social post was written by a flunky, too. ---

It’ll probably be tomorrow until we get any details on the shooter. Investigators want to question all of his family and associates before his ID is made public.
