    It’s wild to me how no one is talking about this. Sure, turn on the news and it’s a top story. But after the rally shooting, everyone I knew was texting me, posting memes everywhere. Arguments on social media. The most literal “water cooler” discussions.

    This time? Crickets.

  2. He really thought it was gonna work this time. If the “assassin” was serious he’d be a chalk outline by now. The assassin wouldn’t have made it ten feet before being put down.

    This likely won’t be the last time as the definition of insanity is to keep on doing something expecting a different result, and he’s off his nut.

  3. I already took Donnie’s advice and I got over it soon after the incident was reported. Also, according to Vance, it’s a fact of life. Nothing we can do about it. I object to Secret Service protection for a convicted felon. Screw him!

  4. I wonder if he will be held responsible for the shooting of his supporters from the prior actual shooting where he was prepared to fake injure his ear.

  5. It’s hilarious and beautiful how everyone just moved on after the first “assassin attempt”, which usually would have been a massive historical event. Same will happen again. It is a clear statement about how many people don’t give a shit about that fucking vile pig.

    There he goes again: blaming Kamala and Joe for making statements that Trump says inflammatory stuff . But Trump Constantly makes inflammatory statements. These two guys who wanted to shoot him are NUTS. They belong in a mental institution . ( well , at least the second one does)

    Is there an exchange rate of assassination attempts to attempted coups? When do they balance each other out?

  8. If anything, I would think it would push more away from him. It’s pretty obvious his divisive, racist rhetoric and blatant lying are directly responsible for not only promoting chaos and violence, but in encouraging those responsible to further acts of violence.

    I can’t wrap my head around this thing.
    The 1st was already really weird and the whole outcome was bizarre.
    No wound.
    A superficial analysis
    No medical follow up disclosed and etc.

    This one is hard to believe.
    I’m glad I’m not the only one.

    So fucking convenient to him
    A desperate man who lies for living to“the likes of which have never been seen before” as he always say…

  10. Maybe if Deflated Don didn’t make a huge fucking drama out of everything and the GOP hadn’t spent years insisting that school children being shot to pieces was the price of Freedom, people might care a little bit more.

    As it is, I think it just reminds people what a non-stop clusterfuck he is.

  11. He was several hundred yards away. Not really an “attempt”. The debate was far closer to a take down than that.

    It’s like the boy who cried wolf. The more he tries to make himself look like a martyr, the more boring and annoying it becomes. I cannot wait to vote this fucker into oblivion…again. 🙂

  13. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a net negative for him. I mean, he just brings chaos with him everywhere he goes .

  14. It may not be changing the state of the race but you have to admit it is changing the mind of the orange turd, can you imagine what 2 assassination attempts would do to you? Paranoia, would be pretty intense right about now,

    I heard the 2nd guy didnt even get a shot off. If thats the case, he should be released from jail in 24 hours… Florida is a red state after all, you are allowed to carry and brandhish a weapon thanks to DeSantis’ new law.

    Maybe DeSantis is tryin to kill Trump.

  16. I mean nobody really cares.

    There will be millions of people who are actually happy whenever he passes away 😂

    Yeah well where were you when Trump got shot at, either time? I have no idea personally but do remember being at Cracker Barrel when I heard Michael Jackson died.

    Of course not. It was barely an attempt, and you don’t have a nice impromptu photoshoot to make headlines. It’s just another deranged Republican who felt spurned by Trump’s hate filled rhetoric.

    “How many attempts is it gonna take to make people stop caring about the pet eating immigrants more than the care about me? Oh sure, schools, hospitals companies who employee those filthy immigrants get all the good coverage because of death threats. But what about me? They’re being threatened by people who hate them! My own voters are taking shots at me!”
