Considering people keep losing their lives, I think it’s reasonable to assume it’s not staged.

Trump haters are gonna hate.

Shot at twice in to months 🤔

First time round he somehow manages to come out looking like a hero -at least to his deluded followers- and his poll ratings sore.

His ratings dropped after the debate and again after Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris.

I can see why staging something could be appealing to a certain individual.

Nothing he does surprises me now.

Equally it could be real I guess. But twice in two months? When was the last time a US presidential candidate shot at?

Well he was not shot twice was he? Get the facts right and stop lying.

I can't believe some of the comments on this thread.

This is a person. A human. A Father. A husband.

You can disagree with his opinions but to act like being a shitty person means you deserve to die is gross.

So we justify murdering people with different opinions now??

citylightsbehind · 15/09/2024 22:45

Again, no one shot at him

I genuinely don't think we’d know all the times that happens. Just like foiled terrorist plots, it doesn’t serve the public well to be told about every one but there’s extremists every day trying to kill and maim whoever the victims are.

I think we need to listen to the reasons why a man like Trump is so popular. What isn't being dealt with in the political arena that has led to a walking ego with not a lot going on between his ears becoming so popular? It's not scary that he's had attempted assassinations, it is scary that a man like him can become so popular.

This tired old argument is trotted out every time someone like Trump or Farage or Bolsonaro gets into power, we must 'listen' to the people who support these people, what is their message?

Well, humans arent very bright, we're selfish, self centred, lazy, suspicious, paranoid, insular, despite being social animals. Those traits are exaggerated in some people and those people are attracted to the likes of Trump. I dont need or want to listen to them.

bringmorewashing · 15/09/2024 22:47

I wonder if these "assassination attempts" are going to be happening monthly now until November/every time a distraction or poll boost is needed, because this could get quite boring...

TheCultureHusks · 15/09/2024 22:33

Why do I get the feeling he’s going to step down? 😵‍💫

Interesting thought. I hadn’t considered that but now that you mention it does kind of makes sense. If he thinks he’s going to lose or just doesn’t want to deal with it - maybe this would be a convenient excuse?

@UCConfuseMe Trump is a rabble-rousing ignorant prat. He has only himself to blame.

So no, I have no sympathy, except for the poor sods who have to try and protect him.

notanothernamechange24 · 15/09/2024 22:51

@dottiehens excuse me! Learn to read before calling me a liar! I said shot at not shot!!! And I'm correct he was shot at multiple times the first time even if no suspect pulled the trigger this time!

Your post and others like them is part of the problem. You're insulting a large number of people and dismissing their views and concerns out of what, hatred, fear, ignorance, indifference?

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. - SunTzu

“Shot at twice in to months”

May be you learn to write.

notanothernamechange24 · 15/09/2024 22:54

@AdviceNeeded2024 I disagree I think we absolutely would have heard if any of the former presidential candidates had any attempts made on their lives. It would be big news in the run up to elections.

AGirlInACountrySong · 15/09/2024 22:54

@dottiehens

It's maybe not may be

Aproductofmyera80s · 15/09/2024 22:55

3rd time lucky?
in fairness I thInk he’s staging them anyway… they want us to believe that the first one managed to get on a building that close to him, like his security wouldn’t have been all over buildings in that close proximity. It’s all a bit sus if you ask me…

betterangels · 15/09/2024 22:07

It's very convenient timing. No more talk about the debate now. No one should put anything past this man.

Conspiracy theorist alert. In what way is this convenient for him? Are you saying the last assassination attempt was staged too?

daisychain01 · 15/09/2024 22:59

This is a person. A human. A Father. A husband.

a worthy and laudable reminder.

except, forgive me for the massive eye roll

he's a felon, a cheat, was accountable for the deaths of many people during the insurrection, took weeks to conceded defeat in the last Presidential election, behaved disgracefully to the UK monarch, Queen Elizabeth, walking in front of her and literally blocking the light from her, talked about grabbing a woman by the pussy, a tax fraud, a complete embarrassment to his family, and cannot string a sensible coherent sentence together.

and this is a candidate for the US presidency. How the hell did that happen!?

His ear was literally shot! How could he have staged that? Are you stupid?!

EmeraldRoulette · 15/09/2024 23:01

Blackandbluesed · 15/09/2024 22:10

He's a father and a grandfather and for that reason alone he doesn't deserve to be shot. That said if someone were to succeed it would be Armageddon in America.

I hate this sort of comment. It’s a worse version of “childless cat lady” but I guess you intended that. Dehumanising people who don’t have children.

Anyway, I’m guessing he’s going to have some concerns around the security detail. A former president, running again, should have better security surely.
