Surely he's not pulling this trick again?

Oh you’ll just complain that the people you enable aren’t better shots, or say we deserved it for our completely normal political beliefs

Where do you get that from?

ffsisthisreal · 26/04/2026 08:22

So let’s get this straight.

He turns up to the first correspondent’s dinner in years. His team and cronies are talking about “shots being fired” (Leavvitt) and telling people to be safe.

There’s a shooter in the reception.

Everyone now uses this to justify trump building his ballroom at the White House.

Aye, okay Donald.

There seem to be quite a few Americans who somehow seem to be under the impression that this is a US website, and that this thread is a US left vs US right discourse.

I think those MAGA-morons might want to realize that most of the reactions in here are coming from citizens of countries who the US - under Trump - has repeatedly threatened.

I no longer give a fuck about your "democracy" beyond what it means for me and mine. That's the mindset you've adopted, and forced us too. Stop whinging.

You shouldn’t be allowed to kill me or people like Trump, Stephen Miller, merely because you don’t agree.

I didn’t say that. I said very clearly that I didn’t agree with assassinations. But i think people who are violent make a violent death more likely.

Exactly, Monty

They seem to have a crap aim

Almost like they don’t really want to hit him….

What news channel do you watch? Just out of interest.

Practice makes perfect.

I have a feeling that he is seriously ill and won't be long for this world.
He doesn't seem the type to want to have 'old age' on his death certificate so him or someone close to him is engineering opportunities to off him, and make him an American hero like JFK and Lincoln.

The shooter also just happens to be from California, land of the liberal celebrities that DT hates because they hate him, and Gavin Newsome, the likely Dem pick for their next Presidential candidate.

Plus DT’s scripted comment about Americans resolving their differences peacefully - the polls show majority of MAGA supporters are furious about the Iran war so this gives him a convenient reason to play peacemaker.

Yep, I’m definitely in the staged camp.

They’re paid to miss 😉

I wonder how all of you would feel if your king, queen, prince of Wales, or prime minister was shot at. A man died in Pennsylvania, it wasn't pretend or a joke.

Our royal family aren't starting wars, convicted felons and acting like Billy big balls though trying for world domination.
This is probably another stunt pulled because things aren't going the way he wants it to so let's pull the sympathy card and get someone to take a shot, so he can 'survive' and be so called hero.
I doubt if many people in the entire world would care if it was a Trump or our royalty shot, although I think most would go with Trump.

MagpiePi · 26/04/2026 08:06

Interesting that the shooter wasn’t killed there and then. I wonder what his background will be and what he will have to say about the incident.

Plummagic · 26/04/2026 08:04

Maybe next time.

For god sake, are there no competent assassins these days?

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought this 🤣

TheAutumnCrow · 26/04/2026 08:02

If it was staged, it was a shitty thing to do to Erika Kirk. She looked actually traumatised.

Trump has a violent nature. Rape. Insurrection. War. ICE.

You don’t have to be political or ‘lefty’ to think that the violence he inflicts and incites on others could predictably come to his own door.

I certainly think he’s capable of thinking of staging an attack but I’m not near to believing that is what happened here.

I also agree that an assassination would bring more chaos and violence. It’s not the answer.

No it’s the leftists frothing themselves into hysteria, justifying their own violence.

I voted for Trump. I think ICE should have gone harder. You shouldn’t be allowed to kill me or people like Trump, Stephen Miller, merely because you don’t agree.

Yes! I appreciate Trump is large and not very mobile so he wasn't capable of dropping to the floor very quickly but even when the bodyguards arrived, Trump's big head was clearly exposed for several seconds.

Did they have to wake him up first ?

CurlewKate · 26/04/2026 07:58

For me, a big concern is, when hearing about the potential shooting of the “leader of the free world” the first thought of many of us, including me, is “I wonder if it’s true?” That says a lot about the decline in public faith in our political leaders and systems.

Thomas Crooks was a registered republican who was a keen hunter. Not sure that makes him a leftist. 🤷‍♀️. Sounds more MAGA oriented to me.

If trump had been shot at by even one leftist he would still be tweeting about it now. Get a grip of yourself. Jan 6th ...maga... assassination attempts...maga....Renee good Alex pretti murders ...all maga ...no matter how you want to dress it up. Dont come on with your bs maga empty headed nonsense...it might be easy to fool the maga loons but thank god there is a more discerning audience here.

Again, they failed to protect him in good time. Apart from one guy standing in front of him
He was not put on the floor quick enough at all
