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.

No assasination attempts on Obama? Dont be silly, were you not born then?

The FBI have confirmed that this was an assassination attempt.

Can we knock it off with the false flag, conspiracy stuff now?

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.

Jesus Christ...You should step away from the utter crap spewed by MSNBC,CNN and 99.9% of the MM. This thread is disgusting and completely batshit in equal measure.

Hmm. So 99.9% of the mainstream media (I assume that’s what you mean by ‘MM’) is wrong but your information source is legitimate. Right?

We're less than 4 years since Trump inspired an attack on the Capitol and expressing support for the mob hanging his own vice president (for the crime in not participating in Trump's attempt to overthrow democracy).

I do not have a single shred of empathy for Trump here.

But there's no way that an assassination or an assassination attempt does anything other than further inflame the present situation in the US.

Sadly, yes

Why has he won the election? That’s so over dramatic. He’s pro guns. Pro gun voters were always going to vote for him. The reality that not only is there little protection for American children( but ex president millionaires is going to be a bit of a reality slap to those teetering on the edge of voting for him. It will remind the electorate how flimsy the pro gun argument is. It also gives a glimpse ahead and a reminder of the chaos that a Trump presidency brings.

Frankly I thought he looked ridiculous saying “no wait”to those trying to get him to safety as he had blood dripping from his ear just so he could fist pump and shout “fight”.

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.

Really? Yet it was ANTIFA and BLM who unleashed terror and destruction across the US. Are they Trump supporters? Have I missed something here??

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.

Oh please, don't be so naive! Any victims of this would be collateral damage in the eyes of the ones who orchestrated this shooting. "for a good cause". Do you honestly, truly believe Trumpists care less about one death, when they can solidify his chances and make him look like a hero? Truly? You were born in the last shower! These gun nuts see school kids as collateral damage. Shooting rampages in shopping malls or schools, STILL they won't ban guns. It's all collateral damage to them when the ends justify the means. I can't believe you are this naive.

Many subscribe to the idea that I it was a right wing set up to ensure that DT gets into the Whitehouse.
Need to hear more information, but I am not quite sure if this was a ‘genuine’ assassination attempt.

Eleanorshelstrop · 14/07/2024 06:21

There are reports in the news that someone saw the ‘shooter’ and reported it to police yet Trump wasn’t removed from the stage and nothing was done? To me this is proof that it was entirely staged - no way would police let a president continue speaking when there’s reports of a visible sniper on a roof opposite!

Because this will be played and played and manipulated by him and his team, and bring out those voters who may have been a tad apathetic
Look what happened with the Whitehouse storming. It doesn't take much to send the maga acolytes into a frenzy

Eleanorshelstrop · 14/07/2024 06:25

And for those asking whether someone would sacrifice their life to get someone into power - yes, I 100% believe that someone would do this. A couple of months ago a similar aged young guy literally set himself on fire protesting against the Israeli genocide in Palestine. People die for causes they believe in and America has become SO divided and people SO passionate about the other side being absolute monsters that yes, I do think someone would sacrifice their life for what they believed was a good cause. I also believe that people can be bullied and threatened into such actions, particularly by very powerful people, so either way I believe it’s possible.

I read that site. I am not talking about mere 'threats'. I am talking about actual shooters, in a public place actually trying to shoot at him. If that happened, we'd know because it would be non-stop coverage like this is,.

Lampzade · 14/07/2024 06:27

Reports say that the ‘shooter’ was a paid up member of the Republican Party who apparently had ‘special needs’

To me this is proof that it was entirely staged - no way would police let a president continue speaking when there’s reports of a visible sniper on a roof opposite!

At least two sets of people reported seeing the shooter on the roof a few minutes before the shooting - to cops on the ground and via calling out and waving to the protective service snipers on the roof. One of those people notes that the snipers probably couldn't see the shooter on the roof initially due to their respective angles. In the footage you can see the sniper that killed the shooter looking for him on the other rooftop and spotting him moments before the shooter started shooting and then the sniper shots and kills him then. All appeared to happen pretty quickly.

Questions will be raised about why the cops didn't get Trump off the stage- but again it looks like it all happened fairly quickly - they were probably trying to spot the guy themselves (potentially assumed it was one of their own guys up there that the crowd were spotting).

Played and played to say what? He looks a bit stupid now with his sucking up to the NRA . This just illustrates the reality of his “free speech” -more of the chaos and attacks on democracy that America and the world had before. Apathy voters surely are more likely to vote the other way. The MAGNA loons already attend these rallies and vote for him.

headstone · 14/07/2024 06:29

Eleanorshelshop, but when this is investigated it would become apparent if the shooter had done it to booster Trump support? Your theory seems very unlikely. There are plenty of people even onthis thread that feel shooting Trump is a good thing. Much more likely it’s one of them.
