'Trump rushed from White House correspondents' dinner after suspected gunshots heard'

Last thread on this was pulled by mumsnet as it breached guidelines. Suspect won’t be long before this is as well. The lack of humanity, empathy and common decency is sad and depressing. On the other thread many posters provided great detail on the many things Trump did which they hated. So what. This does not excuse the behaviour demonstrated on this thread. As I mentioned on the other thread this is whataboutery at its worse. We teach our children at a very young age that no matter what another person does or doesn’t do that is no excuse for their bad behaviour. People need to decide what sort of people they want to be not justify frankly reprehensible behaviour with “well look what he did”.

We're they pre-empted/ in on it, do you think?

Reagan was actually shot and injured. JFK shot and killed Trump attempted assassinations 3 times …. Each boosting his ratings when they are down, providing photo ops and sound biies…plus fitting his agenda (this is why I need that ballroom building).

Victoria Orban of Hungary had a fake assassination attempt suggested to him by Russia to boost his ratings in recent elections too.

Well that's a subjective view obviously and many would disagree with you! That fact alone is just one of the reasons why this is just another fake 'attempt' on his feeble, unnecessary and horribly negative life! 🙄😡

There is no way in this world that this was real and not pre arranged to fit his mad agendas as were the other so called 'attempts' on his life! 🙄
He's totally predictable but obviously just not very bright and from start to finish this last fiasco is as stupid as the others were, especially the one where he supposedly got shot in one of his ears! There is not one tiny indication visible on that ear that he has even been bitten by a flea let alone hit by a bullet!! 😳
The man is a complete and utter lunatic and those allowing and enabling him to stay in power and keep on pulling these ridiculous stunts are as bad as he is if not worse! 😡

Tell that to the people he's killed.

Obama had over 11 attempts on his life foiled

Thoughts and prayers

Just like the comments after yet another school shooting.

It probably was staged but his speech after was truly nauseating stating that only truly remarkable presidents get targeted presidents who’ve done the most for their nation; what a complete fucking idiot in that moment I couldn’t help but say you arranged this you moron this was 100% staged sad really that it wasn’t real because if anyone deserves a bullet it’s that wanker

Couldn’t agree more.

The headline makes it look as though DJT legged it. The line should read, "Trump was rushed from the building" (by security).

Maybe you should focus on Prince William attempting to boot King Charles from throne. Remember to curtsy.

No truth in it.

I guess it wasn't raining.

He'd a moron. Just like the people who support him.

President Donald Ducked the 3rd.

He has. It's clearly obvious.

You do have to be cautious because China will come for Taiwan someday. It’s a matter of when, not if.

You can see the Chinese perspective in that the Nationalists legitimately lost the Civil War, they believe they are only regaining a rogue province.

China doesn't want this at all, it will and is causing issues for their economy right now. Hugely so, working class people are genuinely struggling to heat and eat, shein and temu shopping stopped, Amazon prime stopped, never mind the impact from fuel.
I listened to a podcast on the indigenous Christian community in Israel. I’d no idea how threatened they are, very ignorant to their history until I saw the Israeli soldier smashing the head off Jesus in Lebanon. There is less than 1% left, hanging on by a thread. I ignorantly thought that America wouldn’t tolerate this.

Uh?
The wrecking of the world economy is baked in, even if hostilities stopped today.

China doesn't want this at all, it will and is causing issues for their economy right now.

But you and the pp do like to deflect with this "whataboutery" bringing in dictatorships to justify Trump.... interesting you both make these comparisons.

Isn't wrecking the world economy YET.
China certainly wants to exploit it for their own advantage and become THE pivotal power. It won't end well for us.

Also talk to the Tibetans and other minorities about Han colonialism.

If you want a deal with Russia, then you have to treat Putin like an equal power. Same goes for Xi wrt to Taiwan. Russia is in no way treated like an ally, how do you figure that beyond flattery meant to bring him to the negotiating table?

Putin got the red carpet treatment from Trump, Zelenskyy got ridiculed for not wearing a suit.

Putin is attacking a European country, killing 10s of 1000s of people.

Russia has always been the USA's "enemy" yet under Trump, Russia is far more of an ally.

Trump has no problem haranguing the UK, the EU, NATO, the UN but i do not believe (correct me if i'm wrong) has ever had a go at Putin, didn't he say that it was a genius move that he invaded Ukraine?

Not quite sure why you've bought in Xi.... as China isn't invading countries, wrecking the worlds economy...
