That bullet almost made it through his head. Am no fan but wouldn't want this.
This is not good.

Its not good at all, but it turns out the blood was from glass from the teleprompter according to reports on the Guardian.

No it wasn't glass. It was a bullet that grazed him. This has been confirmed. There's even a series of photos where you can see the bullet and he moved his head slightly at the last second which saved his life. A person in the trajectory was hit in the head and died ffs. Wtf is wrong with people trying to downplay and deny this? Weird.

It's not ok to be cheering on an assassination attempt, even if you don't like the person.

I’m amazed at so many people’s reaction is that it was staged.

You know who thinks rape is trivial? Rapists and their misogynistic enablers do. Decent people do not. That comment says a lot about the poster.

Except that it won’t just be him you’d see murdered. He would be the first of thousands. I can’t think of another event that would be more likely to plunge the United States into a civil conflict.

Trump’s supporters won’t accept he lost a free and fair election, even though there is not a scrap of evidence to suggest otherwise. They believe the 2020 election was a conspiracy by the “deep state.” You think they’re going to believe that Trump was just murdered by some random nutcase?

Some of his supporters are already quoted saying; "This means war." They are as terrifyingly crazy as the gunman.

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

looks like they were

Yes. Trump and his supporters have been threatening violence, murders and civil war for a long time. That's why, no matter how much I hate Trump, I think this assassination attempt was a terrible thing.

Hateam · 14/07/2024 05:37

I don't know whether I'm more disgusted with the vile comments here or more amazed at the unbelievable stupidity of many of the posters.

I'm pretty disgusted it MN for allowing comments promoting attempted murder ti stand

Mumsnet is a fucking awful place.

Then you are incredibly naive. This is someone who is quite likely to become the most powerful man in the world who is friends with Putin, a psychopath who wants to take over the UK and the rest of Europe. I’d be very happy to see him murdered. He’s mad, and an incredibly dangerous threat to our safety. He wants to put the FBI in prison for doing their job in gathering evidence against him fgs.

I agree.

I still hope the democrats will pullBiden because right now any half-way respectable candidate (not 70+, no criminal record, has a pulse) will have the floating voters flocking to them. If Biden stays on then it’s going to be a Trump victory.

I disagree. The dobbs decision and Project 2025 have turned many away from trump and his party and plans. This election is about each party’s policy and plans (democracy vs autocracy/fascism), not about trump vs. Biden.

Purplelimesoda · 14/07/2024 05:41

I am definitely no fan of Trump but he was millimetres from having his head blown off there. He moved his head while talking just in time. Sadly others were injured and killed this is no way for civil society to be!

Agree!
Very convenient how nobody else was shot in such a packed place

One spectator was killed and two others critically injured

"The suspect was shot dead at the scene by US Secret Service officers, the agency's spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said. He added that one bystander was killed in the shooting and two others were critically injured."

Also, Obama and Biden or is it only the Republicans who gets to ban guns?

Democrats are pro gun control. It is the Republicans who continually block efforts to restrict guns. The National Rifle Association gives a lot of support/money to Republican candidates. It’s in their interest to keep the NRA happy. Obama and Biden are both pro gun control.

That’s a terrible thing to say.
I can’t stand the man but I’d never wish him to come to any harm.
Shame on you.

You saying this is disgusting

Lets be honest, it's only what the vast majority of the world are thinking. We are now stuffed. If Trump gets in, with Agenda 2025, there will be no more elections. This November will be the last time Americans vote for a President, as many, many, many people have warned. This is Hitler 2.0 . Think I'm (we're) crazy? Just you wait. The premise of Agenda 2025 is to install a dictator.

I'm the last person to go into conspiracy theories, that's a thing of the far right. But isn't it convenient that in a deeply racist country like America, with the Deep South and it's history of the KKK, that there was never an assassination attempt on Obama? I mean, if any President post-Kennedy would have an assassination attempt, it would be Obama!! The bullet barely grazed Trump's ear. Yeah, nah. In this case, I call set up. To make Trump look like a triumphant hero who survived an attempt by the evil left. This, I believe, was not an actual true assassination attempt. It was a right wing manoevre.

How so? He is still the same awful person, and I seriously doubt he’ll get sympathy votes for being shot in the ear.

Edited

It's been pretty obvious for a while now that he is going to win. This isn't going to change that.

Littlepinkstarsbyradish · 14/07/2024 06:00

In going to enjoy the cognitive dissonance of him saying how guns shouldn’t be regulated or restricted, despite him being shot in the head and narrowly missing his brain by an unstable twat with access to a gun 🙄

I’m sure this might end up being the anti-gun lobby’s fault, because they probably stopped the normal people next to him having a concealed smith and weston and therefore taking him down in a citizens arrest/execution - you know? Like civilised countries do….. 😐

Gingerdancedbackwards · 14/07/2024 06:03

Why all the exclamation marks? It's not that exciting.

Gingerdancedbackwards · 14/07/2024 06:04

He's won the election now.

Sadly, yes

Don’t be ridiculous. Do you really think a 20 year old was willing to sacrifice his life for Trump with a fake shooting? And I double it will win him the election. They depends on whether the Democrats get a candidate without dementia and are honest about the coverup and gaslighting of the public regarding Biden’s mental acuity.

Zanatdy · 14/07/2024 06:06

I can’t stand the man but this is unacceptable.

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
