Well an audience member has died. Happy now? How stupid to say this before you know the full outcome.

As soon as a friend alerted me today to the news I said that the conspiracy theorists would already be on this

The man really is made of Teflon.

I think this means he’s won. People will feel sorry for him or see him as a hero or something. Yeah. Think I’ll be avoiding America again for the foreseeable!

The same in UK where they have rampant knife crime but they aren't banning knives....

Yup absolutely. There were 244 knife homicides in the UK in the year 2022 to 2023. 244 too many, but less than the previous year.

There were nearly 43,000 gun violence death in the US in 2023. Five times the population, 176 times the deaths.

Why? He looks deranged. Yeah fight, fight -to vote against a party who wanted to tighten up gun laws. It makes him look weak. He’s an ex president and the secret service couldn’t protect him from the reality of his rhetoric.

Not RTFT but I agree 😞

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 14/07/2024 08:53

This could have just won him the election.

Whatever you think of him, this was an awful thing to happen.

I’m so jealous of the photography skills of the person who snapped this shot. Trump’s head almost dead centre, just enough zoom to get the entire clenched fist, and the stars and stripes also completely in shot, just touching the edge and obeying the rule of thirds. And no blur or camera shake at all. An incredible photo. No doubt Trump will make a lot of use of it on his campaign

Probably cropped.

Suggest you do take time to RTFT - before posting!

flapjackfairy · 14/07/2024 08:54

i know this is a tangent but seriously how can a man like trump be on the verge of re election ? I just don't get how so many people worship.the guy and despite numerous scandals and convictions nothing sticks ?
And where is Mrs Trump ? You never see much of her ? Has Melania rushed to her husbands side? It is all so bizarre. I get the impression that she is one person who would be happy to see him lose. She didn't seem overly engaged with being first lady the first time around.

He's won the election now.

That was my initial thought too.

Senator JD Vance - strongly tipped to be Trump's running mate tweeted this.

What a calm, measured response, obviously making an effort to calm the situation Hmm .

What an utter knob.

Can people stop being fools and idiots with this "he's won the election now" BS. You know why the world is so f-ed up right now? Because of social media enabling people to spread all sorts of nonsense in second.
THE SHOOTER WAS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.

Think about that. I've lived in the US twice. I think its comical how people think they know everything making stupid troll comments like that. As if it's that simple. There is a huge faction of republican that hate Trump. Are you aware of that? Are you aware polls are often inaccurate?

Just stop being part of the problem by posting un-educated BS.

Agree!

AInightingale · 14/07/2024 08:58

Gary O'Donoghue of the BBC has been brilliant. I never knew before today that he was completely blind. Stayed so calm and professional in the middle of absolute panic and chaos.

You are wishing another human being dead.

If I post my opinion of you I'm sure it will be deleted.

Dymaxion · 14/07/2024 09:01

Does J D Vance have insider knowledge ? How is he aware of the shooters motives ? or is he just political point scoring ? Is this his only comment on the situation ? Surely he must have said something about the poor victims and not condoning violence in politics ?

Skippydoodle · 14/07/2024 09:03

Crucible · 13/07/2024 23:49

If someone shot his ear then someone behind him would have been seriously injured or killed by the bullet
What a load of shite.

The guy behind him DID get hit and IS dead. Does that improve the situation for you?

WeightofExpectation · 14/07/2024 09:04

This is a dreadful thing to happen and this kind of violence is profoundly depressing. I hope those injured make a full recovery.

That said, Trump followers can hardly moan about people coming up with conspiracy theories. Trump has weaponised and enabled conspiracy theories with abandon throughout his political career, not least about the result of the last election.

You can’t take the lid off a can of worms and then moan because there are worms everywhere.

Well how can Biden be? A blithering idiot who called zelensky Putin!

That is the reason Trumo seems like a credible opponent sadly.
