Looks like some sort of injury to Trump, likely superficial.

Completely agree, and just said this to my husband.

It looked and sounded to me that the shots were coming in from his right side and you can hear a second scream which sounded very much like a female being shot.

If there was shots fired and they missed trump, how have they not hit the people behind him. Wouldn't surprise me if Trump set this up, to drum up his supporters.

It looked like the shot came from behind him

Sounds like an air gun or something to me, and he’s fine,

The Democrats are fucked now unless they can find a truly stellar candidate.

I felt sorry for the secret service people having to physically put themselves between Trump and potential shooters while he is more concerned about his shoes and fist-pumping at the crowd.

Whichever idiot has done this has done nothing but help Trump. I worry most about Ukraine and Russia and Russian ascendancy in the world.

But you do not worry about that with Biden who does not even know Zelensky from Putin. 😂

I've heard people were fleeing?

No, they are still in their seats Just watching on sky news. Something feels 'off' about it all.

Violetparis · 13/07/2024 23:57

Politics in the USA is crazy. Biden shambles all last week and now this. Don't believe it was a set up and I'm no fan of Trump. Dangerous times.

Inlaw · 13/07/2024 23:57

I think it’s true. He’s a shit actor and I think the reaction was quite genuinely trump. It was all clear on the shooter down before they even got up.

Hes fucking lucky!

On Twitter there’s a whole uncut video. There’s a curdling scream from a woman and I am worried someone in the crowds been hit. Hope everyone is ok.

I wonder how he feels about guns now. I expect it won’t change his views.

He'll want lots more of them. Firing squad on every corner for anyone who steps out of line. Project 2025 now signed sealed & coming soon America

This is what the moral high ground looks like, is it?

no one has said they have the moral high ground

Ineverlose · 13/07/2024 23:57

I don’t understand. Why did he want his shoes? Where were his shoes?

RazzleDazzleEm · 13/07/2024 23:57

@Catmoobs that will be an iconic shot goodness it couldn't have been better for him

I don’t think it was a proper gun, I think an air gun .

If he was a real target 🎯 he would be dead.

As he would if it was a real gun.

How hateful can you be. Disgusting 🤢

I worry much more that Trump is a Russian patsy. Biden may be doddering and old as fuck - but Trump is in Putins pocket and has much worse plans for foreign policies than Bidens team.

Because we’re talking about Trump. It’s not just anyone, it’s Trump. Everyone knows the depths he would sink to in order to win.

RegimentalSturgeon · 14/07/2024 00:00

Doesn't smell like a genuine assassination attempt.

The daily mail has a picture of a woman on the ground who appears to have been injured in the main story pictures.

Ahh fuck.

Rinoachicken · 14/07/2024 00:02

I dont think this was a set up.

And I can’t stand the man, but as he stands up you can see he’s really shaken. Him looking for his shoes and fist pumping will have been the shock and adrenaline - people focus on the strangest things when they suddenly find themselves in a life and death situation.

I mean, it’s Trump. He is pretty hateful. He publicised his own mug shot and sold pieces of the suit he wore.

I absolutely detest him and I wouldn’t put it past him to want to do this - I just think practically speaking it is an idea so stupid even Trump wouldn’t have attempted the set up.

fridaynight1 · 14/07/2024 00:02

A man has been shot and others maybe injured or worse, I am appalled at some of the comments on here. I hope everyone is ok.

Trump deranged syndrome is a thing. Get help.
