Hoping for the best for him. Which would be 12 solid months of rehab and occupational therapy.
Waiting to hear from one of the chumps behind him describe seeing anything graze his ear, and if they might be accordingly full of it.
It’s fascinating seeing the crowd reaction. You would think panic would ensue, I guess the gravity of the situation doesn’t hit immediately during something like this.
I knew the election season was going to be wild and filled with surprises, but no one expected this.
I’m not gonna lie, between this and the Biden debate kerfluffle, it feels like the wheels are coming off this thing we call US politics.
Even 12 months ago this election was unprecedented in so many ways. Now I legitimately have no idea who’s going to win, can’t guess what’s going to happen either way. The best outcome would be Biden winning, but even if he does, I’m not sure America as we know it is ever coming back from this.
I feel like the craziest events are still ahead of us.
At this time, knowing absolutely nothing about his condition, I feel 100% confident in saying that many people are sure he lacks the fitness to serve and for the good of the country he must drop out of the race in favor of someone younger and more energetic.
I wasn’t around back then, but I imagine this must have been what 1968 felt like.
And yes, like others have said, I condemn this attempt on Trump’s life. This is not the way to do things.
Agree. They just sit there gawking. Lends to the idea it wasn’t a real gun, but something else.
Where were the metal detectors?
Did anyone else get hit?
Are these people gonna go truly nuts now?
I just heard the full sound.
I’m saying pellet gun, now.
You mean more than they already are? Did you see them screaming at the press and giving the finger to the cameras? This is weapons-grade nuttery.
Yes, I saw.
I’m hearing on CBS News that “the perpetrator has been neutralized.” I’m assuming this means the shooter is now dead.
In no way was that a real gun. If the shot came from the side and hit his ear, it would have gone right through. If it came anywhere from the front, since it barely nicked his ear, it would have hit someone in the crowd behind him.
I live near Butler, PA and I am a bit shocked it happened this deep in MAGA country.
CBS reporting that the shooter has been "neutralized ".
Yeah, you can hear the Secret Service announce “Shooter’s down” before they move Trump.
As to whether it sounds like a gun, I’ve heard auto .22s that sounded exactly like that.
There are idiots who wanna be famous any way possible.
Not sure why you find the debate performance comparable to this, myself.
NBC interviewing witnesses who say two people in bleachers were hit, one looked very bad
