To have grudging respect for how Trump styled it out

[Ladyslip]

I mean someone tried to murder him, he came very close to having died. He went through a terrifying experience and came out saying fight and raising his fist in defiance. I think he’s an odious man but despite that, I have to concede a nod to that.

Let’s face it, if this had happened to Obama and he’d responded in the same way we’d all be like ‘woah, he the man!’

Note. This is not a genuine AIBU. I’m confident in my position on this but know so many people have so polarized themselves that they would rather eat their own eyeballs than find any small compliment or recognition for someone they hate.

Not sure where you were between 2016-2020, but Trump was President then. Nothing terrifying happened. Not caused by Trump anyway.

I hate the circus surrounding Trump and having to see his name again first thing in the morning when I check the papers.

I save my loathing and fear for the leaders in China, North Korea, Russia.

i'd look at what Trump and JD Vance have said about Putin, Xi, Ukraine and NATO.
Vance has said that the first Islamic state to have Nuclear is the UK, said after Labour won the GE.

We in the West inc the UK, still do billions of trade with Russian, China is a huge economic partner, we are still best buddies with India, despite them, like China, trading extensively with Russia, both provide Russia with components and foreign currency to continue its war.

Trump will almost certainly withdraw support for Ukraine, he has form on holding true to his promises, he said he'd take the US out of the Paris climate change agreement and he did........
Ukraine under Russian control and the USA weakening Nato are very real possibilities.....

Yet your worried about Putin

Precisely this. I’m now switching channels to avoid the coverage.

Well I think it’s probably won him the election.

I find it shocking that eyewitnesses were telling the police for a while before this incident happened and they didn’t act until after someone was killed

I’ve got enough loathing to go round for them too. I think it’s the time difference which means news from USA are still news first thing in the morning over here. It’s not good for starting the day.

The only brave person was the poor man who died shielding his family.

@InWalksBarberalla Garnering attention with the upcoming elections. I mean, impeccable timing for Trump- this will see him through.

Obviously very sorry for the people who lost lives- I can’t say that Trumps fist bump was great though. He’s a twit.

@Sugarnspicenallthingsnaice I don’t, I was being sarcastic.

Wow, a leader who does what he said would do. Whatever next.

Your pointless alarmism is actually quite the endorsement for Trump.

To those who criticise Trump..... can you tell me which leaders you actually admire and why?

Well I'm in Wales. We managed to toss ours out this morning 😂😂. We're looking for another first minister and none of them are up to snuff.

Can we start as a baseline with one who doesn’t have convictions? Isn’t a self confessed sex pest? Steaks in complete sentences and doesn’t refer to themselves as ‘a stable genius’?
Thats quite a lot right there.

Staged! Pwahahaha My goodness what gobbledygook goes through some peoples minds.

he really wouldn't care.

Well go on then...who?

There's another death threat now from Iran sigh..

I promise this is not a goady post.

I have no time for Trump the man for all the obvious reasons. In fact I'm old enough to remember the awful way he treated Selina Scott and haven't changed my opinion of him since then.

Putting that to one side, apart from withdrawal from the PCA and ending Obama care (both bad imo), what did he do while in office that was so evil and did he do anything good? Are there any Americans here who could give their opinion please.

Like I said, I'm not looking for a fight, just a non partisan opinion.

Do the “he staged it himself” conspiracy theorists ever pause to wonder how Trump chose someone to carry out the attack? Was there a formal recruitmenr process for the role? If so, presumably the job spec read:-

“Suicidal loner required to fire multiple bullets at the head of the man who's already well on track to becoming the next President of the United States.

Long distance shot so preference will be given to candidates with limited weapons experience.”

What a cunning stunt.

Pretty much all of them. Name another politician who has all of those things.

This was 100% an inside job, the Biden mafia ordered the assassination of Trump. They've tried to bankrupt him, go after him through lawfare weaponised by Biden DOJ. They convicted him for BS felony charges, they wanted to jail him that failed.

All it did was make Trump more popular than ever, so when all this failed, the final option is to kill Trump & that very nearly happened, millimetres was the difference.

The democrats wanted Trump gone for good & a civil war would have occurred. Jill Biden had a hastily arranged visit to PA & took SS agents away from Trump for her visit instead. So Trump security detail was depleted.

Police knew about the shooter 26mins before he shot, strange how they still allowed Trump to get on the stage or even then not too take him off stage when they knew there was a guy with a sniper rifle on the roof.

This happened right before the RNC convention, if Trump was killed, they could have nominated Nikki hailey or whoever they wouldn't have cared, their main threat is no more, their perfect plan nearly materialised.

I like the mythologising there’s been in Japan that says that Trump moved his head at the right moment because he heard Shinzo Abe whispering to him. Some Westerners said this as a joke, and then in Japan
it was said seriously. It’s a nice image.

I’ve seen some libtard / Dem attempts to
make anti-Trump memes out of the shooting, but they’ve been pathetic and hateful and will turn off anyone outside their deranged leftist bubble.

Well, thank heavens Jesus saved him User148.

It was the strangest quirk of fate.

I nearly lost my husband in a yachting incident in the Irish sea. I still believe that someone sent the wave that pushed him towards us and upward so he could be grabbed by the crew .

I'd assume this was a joke post, but I realise some people are this credulous.
