Donald trump!!

[Filltheglass]

Just nearly got assasinated!!!

I honestly wouldn't put it past the Rep' (Twitter / X also suggesting this was orchestrated). Shooters don't miss. If they do miss, do they skim an ear?

Extremely lucky all the same.

Too bad Alec Baldwin was busy in court.

Agree. That still doesn't mean we have to feel bad about Trump getting shot.
It's awful about the civilian and the shooter is a scumbag. However, Trump is also a scumbag. I'd say it's okay to be of two minds about it.

It seems to be the usual in these lefty MN threads. Comments that are stupid and vile.

It's just how people cope with this kind of madness sometimes. The feeling is that the world has gone to shit, so let's laugh while we still can. You could stand to lighten up a bit.

I abhor Donald Trump and everything he stands for, but the people who are wishing that the shooter had been a better aim, or implying that he somehow deserved it, need to take a long hard look at themselves.

The success of our political system depends entirely on the quality of the candidates that put themselves forward for election. If we allow our political culture to be poisoned by violence and intimidation, many high calibre individuals will simply choose not to put themselves at risk. And we will all be much poorer for the lack of choice.

There will always be people whose views we find abhorrent. Our job is to argue against them and defeat them at the ballot box. I don't think anyone should be condoning violence, even jokingly. As a society, we get the politicians that we deserve, and incidents like this drag all of us down.

He’ll turn it to his advantage, like in Star Wars Revenge of the Sith

There was someone being interviewed that he told the security there was a gunman on the roof and they did nothing.

Very sad to hear an innocent person has been killed and others injured.

What do you want him to do, stage a 2am press conference to say “thoughts and prayers”?

Leftwing gun toter?

Well, exactly.

I wonder what's going to be next.

I pray for Trump! At least this will secure him becoming next president.

IKR. It's scary.

The far left.... They are a violent bunch

Trump is a very dangerous man.

It really is. It just seems to be spinning out of control as a society before our eyes. I know we only see the low lights but really, this is crazy stuff.

MNers who are in a snit about the jokes; remember that jokes don't kill people. Guns kill people. That should be the takeaway, but somehow it never is in America. No matter how many shootings there are, nothing is done.

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

You need knives to make dinner. Not so much guns.

The devil can’t always have the best tunes.

Probably for the best.

Who were the other victims, were they shot by the shooter or accidentally in a crossfire?

But knives are killing children on the streets of the UK? You care more about cutting food than children. Shame on you. 😂

Also haven't a few MP's in UK been stabbed to death?
