Amazing President glad he's ok. Absolute nut job lefties on this place again I see upset he wasn't killed. You are not the good guys!

Enjoy worshipping your favorite paedo xxxx

This is my thinking. If it isn't staged (and it does sound far-fetched) then it's inconceivable that three people are such terrible shots in a country so renowned for loving guns.

If you get a gun and try you’d likely find someone will stop it either by doing the same back or arrest.

I don't want Trump to be assassinated. As pp have said, that would make him a martyr. I would like him end up living the rest of his life in jail. But I doubt that will happen.

As opposed to the man who said ‘a civilisation will die tonight’.

As someone upthread said, this is a mainly UK site so it’s not about Republicans/Democrats. It’s about the world shuddering at the fact you have a psychotic toddler using his position to humiliate world leaders, kidnap other leaders and spout unhinged rhetoric.

You're actually invoking DARVO to get sympathy for Trump? DARVO is used by abusers to avoid accountability. Meanwhile Trump is the most prolific abuser of civil rights in the Western world, ordering his ICE agents to snatch parents and children from their homes and put them in detention centres.

How do you suppose we deport people given their last deportation order and have ignored them entirely? (Or never lodged as asylum claim, 90%+ of which are fake?)

Asking nicely doesn’t work.

To be frank, the only process they are due is a quick check of their papers and a swift plane ride home. So yeah, Trump is soft on this issue.

Do not assume that feeling disturbed and horrified about America and Trump means everyone is a ‘leftie’. Nor that for those who are describing them as such is some sort of insult. They won’t care. Not here in the UK. Language used to intimidate Democrats in America won’t work in the UK. It just won’t.
I do not see myself as a leftie. But am appalled by who America have voted in. I am not sure Americans realise that it will take decades for them to recover from it.

Because this is what leftists do: deny the problem, attack you for noticing, and then making themselves the victims.

Right.

I’ve seen SWAT teams in action. These guys are not even trying.

You think snatching babies from their homes is a good call?!

And how do you account for the thousands of people with the right to stay who have been wrongly detained?

The amount of attempts is no surprise given people post online about wanting it to happen it. Of course a few people get whipped up and access guns and give it a try.

Chenecinquantecinq · 26/04/2026 09:51

Many on the left are so radicalised now they don't even realise it. You are an utter disgrace. The number of posts here actually upset that the elected leader of a democratic nation wasn't killed because you don't like him is actually insane.

You are all disgusting people. Seriously you disgust me.

I feel the same about Trump and MAGA apologists, so let's call it a draw.

ffsisthisreal · 26/04/2026 09:52

If anyone is in doubt, go look at the polymarket bets on last night.

This administration will stop at nothing to personally enrich themselves

Someone repeatedly threatens to annex the country that I live in.

I don't show sympathy at an apparent threat to their life.

How radical of me.

I agree, he needs to do jaill time after being tried for war crimes.

QuaintTealDog · 26/04/2026 09:53

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but it's all very strange.

How security services for one of the most important people in the world can't prevent armed gunmen from entering an enclosed space is beyond me.

I prefer that you do not incite violence. Or DARVO a man that has been unnecessarily targeted for assassination (he will be leaving office in less than three years)

Well in the words of Mark Twain: "I have never wished death upon a man, but I have read some obituaries with great enthusiasm"

I agree wishing a violent death on someone is pretty grim but being relieved by someones death when that person is of no value to humankind and does more harm than good, in fact no good at all, is understandable

And you do not blame the Tories for nixing the drive to build nuclear power plants, or to exploit fracking all those years ago?

No, just do nothing and blame events beyond your control, do nothing that’s actually within your control to secure fossil fuel access, the very basis of your daily life.

As for the US, spike in oil prices is definitely a challenge but the higher prices also makes it
more profitable for the oil industry to drill reserves that weren’t really profitable before. But yeah, it won’t happen before the midterms. Sucks but the Democrats aren’t very supportive of the fossil fuel industry in the first place, so you cannot expect them
to be any help in this aspect

I blame Tories for plenty, believe me. Brexit being the biggest thing. Blame them for relying on “special relationship with US” instead of keeping strong ties with Europe. I am glad that the current government is doing something to repair the relationship with Europe.

However, the only person to blame for the current economic crisis around the world is Trump. We wouldn’t have been in this situation if Biden or Harris were in power.

You clearly didn’t read or grasp the content of my last post.
It doesn’t work here. That sort of speak. You will need to find new words and language if you want to influence people otherwise.

  1. it took him less than an hour to start saying this was why they needed to build his monstrous ballroom
  2. He both claimed the shooter had been shot and killed, and posted photos of the supposed shooter being arrested and detained. So which story is it….?
