Surely he's not pulling this trick again?

Bore off .

Appalled by staged 'shooting' humour
Bored by facts of despotic nature of the target.

They always miss 😒

Time for a Go Fund Me to provide better training for future attempts?

I think a lot of people right across the world would happily contribute.

Hw can’t keep crying wolf every time he thinks he needs a boost in the polls - it’s getting ridiculous. And some poor soul always dies 😔

What evidence do you have regarding this? Or are you throwing mud hoping some idiot believes it.

im in no way a fan of Trump, but I’m even less of a fan of hypocrites.

I hope you have been equally appalled by the pedo president who is randomly murdering fishermen, starving Cubans, enabling gazan genocide, stopping child cancer research, while filling his own pockets and stuffing his face while American service men are on paltry food rations on active service. Would you be crying for the German dictator ?

I'll save my tears for someone more worthy.

It might save a lot of lives if he was shot to be honest. Same with Hitler if Munich had been successful.

Leftists say this shit but pretend it’s not an incitement to violence.

If you dont want to watch it all watch from 6 minutes in ...its interesting what Kathryn Leavitts husband had to say beforehand but the narrative was cut off...and then the 'this is why we need a ballroom' narrative when the building has stalled recently. Its all so convenient, recently cancelled talks, 2 week deadline ending, terrible polls, recent emergence of the last assassination attempt in Butler and its authenticity. Distract distract distract.

I am really shocked at the comments wishing death on somebody because of their political views. That is appalling. When I don’t agree with a politician I don’t wish them to be murdered. Have people in the UK forgotten David Amis and Jo Cox. If trump were to be assassinated it would be a disaster, the ramifications would be huge civil/global unrest, leading to god knows what. Biden was far worse and people didn’t call for him to be killed. People calling fro trumps death need to get a grip.

You get a grip
Shocked"" the guys a piece of shit
Embarrsing to try explain this clown to my family.
Causing companies fuel problems..
Hope he get hit very soon.

No such sympathy for the 1000s Trump has had killed in Iran or the Cubans that he is right now, starving to death.

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.

It might save a lot of lives if he was shot to be honest. Same with Hitler if Munich had been successful.

The video shows him running through a security checkpoint and the secret service immediately reacting, including more coming from other areas. He’s then stopped by the secret service before getting to the room where the dinner is being held.

Edited

So the security checkpoint had big holes in it? There must have been a clear passage for him to run that fast through it. How come he managed to hit someone but none of the many SS agents even nicked him? Who was it? Usain Bolt? Roger Black?

Even at museums or festivals, security checks my bags before letting me in. It’s a legitimate question to ask how this could have happened in the first place. When my logic is challenged, I follow my intuition.

And how did someone so heavily armed defeat all these security checks? How come not one of these highly trained SS agents managed to hit him in the knee or arm to bring him down. Why was he shirtless? Surely that would have been a big clue when he walked in?

Well, clearly calling for someone to be killed is wrong.

Trump has wished death on political enemies, celebrated their deaths and enabled Israel to bomb and kill its way through 80k Gazans, do their lives not matter to you? clearly not.

However, you say Biden was worse, did Biden starve the ordinary Cubans? kidnap the leader of a UN recognised country, bomb a country (killing 1000s inc children) which has led to a world wide economic disaster?

Oh and Trump wants to unwind NATO, backs Putin, even when Russia threatens USA lives, wants to cause another Falklands war.....

The manner of the attempts on Trumps life is strange to say the least.

Trump will almost certainly seek a 3rd term, he wont go quietly... now that WILL cause huge unrest.

He has never attended this event before. Throughout either of his presidencies.

And all of the sudden he attends and is shot at again?

Bullshit.

X is full of bots all saying this means that the ballroom needs to be built.

It's too convenient. Surprised they didn't give him another opportunity to stage a fist in the air photo though. Probably too demented at this point to be able to remember what he needs to do.

And now no one is talking about the fact the deputation to discuss peace in Iran has been cancelled again…. Im not saying that theres manipulation going on, but keep an eye on oil prices….

The ramifications of him staying in power are absolutely detrimental to the entire world. As a person he is a pdfile, an abuser, a graper , narcissist and a complete madman who has absolutely NO LIMITATIONS on his actions. He is doing what he is doing to avoid prison (where he should be), and to fill his pockets. If the epstein files were properly redacted I believe he would be categorically deemed a murderer . This isnt about republican or democrat...he is an unhinged loon surrounded by sycophantic enablers who have blood on their hands ,-many of whom who are also in the files, dems and republicans.

I would rather he stayed alive to actually experience true suffering by being sent to prison (it will never happen sadly) he has gloated and boasted of the suffering he has inflicted on so many, so i for one wont be crying when he goes.

The German dictator didnt deserve our tears why should trump.

Were you saying similar when Trump had Iran's head of state assasinated a few weeks back?

countrygirl99 · 26/04/2026 06:01

Not because of their political views but because their actions keep causing other people to be killed. Stop one to save many. No different to the police killing a school shooter and the US seems quite happy with that scenario.
