Donald trump!!

[Filltheglass]

Just nearly got assasinated!!!

To be fair if it had been Biden, trump and his supporters would have definitely suggested it was a hoax. Without a shadow of doubt that's what they'd have been saying. They claim most incidents are a hoax, eso if they involve guns killing innocent or people getting hurt.

I'm not saying it's a hoax btw, just responding to what I believe trump supporters would be spouting right now had Biden been the victim of the attempt.

This BBC interview with a witness who says the shooter was crawling around for minutes with a gun is very disturbing.

Yeah it's nothing 🙄

Trump is a truly despicable excuse for a human being, but the would-be assassin has just made an awful situation a whole lot worse.

The conspiracy nuts will have a field day, overseas interference will go into overdrive and Trump will use the attempt to whip up his fan base into even more of a hating froth than they already are.

What a god awful mess.

I hate the man and all he stands for but glad he wasn’t killed. Very sorry that this will almost certainly win him the election. 😔

This is such bad news as Trump will use this to his advantage and a very dangerous despicable man will become president again.

We have just witnessed the bloody birth of Messiah President Elect Trump - god only knows here he will take this thing.

Tucker Carlson's tweet.

It's sad, these people justify this attitude with the belief that they morally superior 🙄

Logically i know shooting at political candidates is wrong and shouldn't be condoned. Emotionally, when I read he'd been shot at, my first reaction was relief.

You can say we are all entitled to our own political viewpoints. But the difference between him and Mike from Manchester is that when Mike says he believes women should all be treated like someone out of The Handmaid's Tale, that people who are not white are second class citizens and should be treated as such, etc etc - none of that in any way will come to pass. Because, you know, it's just muggy Mike. Trump, on the other hand...

And people say the right are conspiracy theorists. The amount of lefties on this thread with their tinfoil on is crazy. Someone in the crowd is dead and there's video of their body being carried out, shooter has his head blown off (photos also available for the curious) and still people calling it fake. Derangement crosses the political divide.

The shooter was killed by security forces. You think he agreed to be killed as part of a PR stunt? Really?

Elon Musk has just come out and endorsed Trump for President.

Political opinion should only ever be expressed via the ballot box, and I hope he recovers quickly.

But, perhaps now he will rethink his stance on gun control, and stop whipping up political polarisation and civil unrest.

THIS

They'd be saying they got Hollywood to stage it, blah blah blah....

America's been in decline since 2016 when Trump won with 2 million less votes and less of the popular vote.

It's unbelievable isn't it? The cognitive dissonance is strong.

He's always supported Trump, so its a bit like the Pope saying he endorses Jesus!😂

I believe someone was. Do you not read a story thoroughly first, before dismissing it as shite?

This photo will become one of the most famous photos in journalism.

That's laughable.

The Republicans and MAGA are saying its a conspiracy within the secret Service and FBI for fucks sake...less than 24 hours after the event.

The murder of Trump could have led to extreme violence, maybe even civil war. The people interviewed were already talking conspiracy theories by the left wing, were scarily sure they were being deprived of their chosen candidate. Remember when the same people stormed the White .House. Civil disorder would be guaranteed by Trump's murder.

I despise the man with the power of a thousand suns but this is awful. All politicians should be able to do their business safely.

Hes an idiot even then fast pumping and shouting fight- I know he's in shock but he still can't show any dignity and humility.

That bloody country and their guns. We thought we were divided!!

People there were blaming Biden and CNN Terrifyingly I think he's just been handed the election.

You're right we are way down a very dark rabbit hole now.
