Wow... just wow. This is real? Not read up but just the headline photos of his bloodied ear n fist held up... gives such a fake feeling? Lol... anyway, we will never if its real assassination attempt or not? But surely he will win it now? There has been example of these things in the past.. Taiwan's president like 20 yrs or so ago had something like it close call n helped his votes... as usual the attempts miss by a centimeter n the target n in this case Trump is largely unscathed?

Its fair to say even without this, Trump even slightly leading the polls right? Cos most Americans werent happy with things n Trump always promises to give them jobs n good economy so most average ppl vote for him, is that correct? Always worried im wrong cos Im not sure...

Randomly search google after reading up the news n then for fake also, this page for example So if its real the guys just missed n they shot him dead, same old lone gunman dies story. Otherwise they did a good job staging it all or didnt do such a good job?

That’s the shooter. Only 20 years old. The specific motive is unclear, as of yet. Apparently doesn’t have a military background or relevant history of shooting practice. Used his father’s AR15 rifle and shot at trump from a rooftoop over 150 meters away.

He killed 1 civilian and injured 2 others in the process. Makes more sense that his accuracy was off now. If anyone still believes that this was all staged, that seems incredibly unlikely considering the small margin for error involved and the shooter clearly not being an experienced marksman.

He was shot and killed by sharpshooters that were on standby on a different rooftop. More than one witness claims that they saw a kid climb up on the rooftop, carrying a rifle. Just a normal day in the US of A

Failure on the part of Secret Service to not cover that obvious vantage point on the left.

[Myesyats]

Putin really doesn't have many enemies in Russia tbh, pretty much 90% of the country approve of his policies.

Do they really? It's more a result of decades of propaganda, cult-like leadership, violent crackdown on protests and eliminating/killing any sensible opposition and alternative viewpoints, which made Russians docile and disinterested.

It's definitely not close to 90%, the war in Ukraine is 'supported' by around 50% at best and only because they see it as a war against the West as a whole and its a "us or them" situation as they view it. The election results are half-rigged and other candidates are puppets or extensions of Putin anyway because real ones get murdered/poisoned/suicided

That said Navalny was a warmonger as well and wanted to annex Crimea too, so maybe it's just in their nature, living next to Russia be like that:

All part of the plan? Secret Service takes the blame n hit... lone gunman which seems quite many of the civilians saw, were unnoticed by security, got on that roof, aimed, shot quite few shots off b4 the snipers got him?

Might not seem that much of a deal atm... but in the future Im sure this will become on of those historic events in history?

N already the photos of Trump fist up bleeding with flag behind as symbol... feel sick of it already

[Casciavit]

Anyway, the media and the prominent political figures trying to spin this, each to their own narrative, makes me want to vomit.

The circus never stops.

I'm going back to staying away from the news and keeping my mind palace clean of dirt.

Pretty much.

Republicans will state this was the Liberals' attempt at Trump down, since they know after the debate debacle that Biden's chances have gone down.

Democrats will state it was an inside job from Trump's team.

Honestly between the two I think the first option is more likely. It could just be a lone wolf far-left winger taking matters into his own hands with the motivations of the first point.

Either way, Trump has won this election. The right-wing got their MLK moment. That picture is going to be in history books for hundreds of years. I was scrolling through social media and the amount of people claiming they'll now vote for him because he has "aura" and was saved by "divine intervention" was A LOT.

Americans love drama and the whole WWE-esque nature of Trump going down then getting up with his ear bleeding and chanting "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT" will live on in memory. I'm kind of worried about the precedent this may cause though. What's going to stop a right-wing lunatic from doing the same with people in the Democrat party?

[Casciavit]

Crazy world we live in. Anyone can be gotten to.

But the media never stop... When you google it you can only find titles like"Secret service interrupt Trump rally" and similar insignificant titles.

They are really against Trump. Which is why I support him a bit.

It was amusing because they refused to refer to it as an "assassination attempt"

They waited for FBI confirmation, but even then some media outlets are still not referring to it as such

Makes you think

[BarcaLearning]

Arent u guys worried he will makes things worst? From the outside I thought did terrible job compared with Biden I thought?

[elitedam]

Absolutely insane that this human shitstain will be president again.

[Myesyats]

It is kind of insane. With the things that he has said and done on top of many more allegations, he wouldnt even be eligible to be a candidate here

[Arquitecto]

Oh God the right wingers are already insufferable about this making Trump to come out as some martyred survivor MLK. How can it be so obvious?

If anything thinks this wasnt a false flag operation I'd question their insight into things.

[McLewis]

So you are telling me, with a straight face, that Trump put his life into the hands of some random 20 year old, to shoot him in the ear and not his brain that is 1.5 cm away, while moving his head constantly. He literally moved his head in the very last moment, or the bullet would be in his brain.

There is 0% chance of that being true. Below zero.

McLewis, I have always liked you and respected you and I never tried to call you out on some BS because I understood these are emotional things for you and that your family doesn't have it easy being black in America. But come on man... Let's be real here.

Everything in American media, every piece of news, every narrative need to go through several filters in your mind to see something resembling the real picture. Right now, there are rooms and rooms, probably buldings full of people in the democrat media digging and desperately searching for anything with one single goal - how do we spin this. Let's see what they come up with.

I personally don't think he rigged this. I do believe this was a legit assassination attempt and I said that in another post. I don't like Trump. I don't respect him and I think he should be in prison for the rest of his life. I may sit on the far left ideologically from him, but I don't think he should be dead at an assassin's bullet. We don't need him as a martyr. It would signal the end of this democratic project.

However, the reality is that Trump is a convicted felon. SCOTUS (which Trump reshaped in his ideology's image) just gave the office of President significant levels of power by making the them immune from prosecution for "official acts". That's a solution to literally all of Trump's problems. It's not a conspiracy theory to at least consider that angle on this, even if I ultimately don't believe that's what happened here. It's not a conspiracy theory to acknowledge that he's fully taking advantage of the political fallout from this. It's just fact.

I don’t think it’s obvious, but I can agree that something smells fishy about all of this.


If the kid had used a sniper rifle instead of a friggin assault rifle from that distance and still missed, then there could be an argument that this might have been staged. As it stands, the likelihood of him having possibly killed Trump by accident is far too high. An amateur, like him wouldn’t be able to intentionally graze someone’s ear from that distance with an assault rifle. He even killed 1 and injured 2 in the process. Which makes sense when you fire an assault rifle from that distance.

The kid could’ve also been stopped before anything ever happened, if a single one of the witnesses had taken action when they saw him climb up on that roof with a rifle - but this is the US and I suppose it wasn’t all that much out of the ordinary. It seems to me that Trump merely seized the moment, and it’s working in his favor now. The situation is strange, though.

[Pedram]

It's indeed strange, the event happened just a few days before the Republican convention. if the assassination succeeded it would have forced the GOP to pick a new candidate, possibly Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis who are more closer to the establishment.

I'm not suggesting this was a deep state operation but it kinda stinks of what they usually do when things don't go their way.

[McLewis]

The targeting of those female Secret Service agents by RW media is very predictable. Women have been serving in the Secret Service for over 50 years now, way before DEI or woke were in the national lexicon.

Trump has chosen his running mate:

JD Vance, who called Trump “America’s Hitler” and a “cynical asshole,” and said that any American would have to be an “idiot” to vote for him, has been selected as Trump’s running mate.

Lol... wtf is happening...

[Vibe]

Keeps getting worse and worse.

Obviously all of this is being reported by American media, the greatest group of liars the world has ever seen, journalists without a grain of integrity or caring for truth, so take it with a sack of salt:

- Authorities were made aware of the threat before the rally
- He came there multiple times and snipers saw him before, notified command post about him
- He returned with a rangefinder measuring the distance, seen by sniper who took a picture
- Returned again with a backpack
- Took time to set up, seen by audience who kept alerting the authorities
- All this time, secret service was inside that very building he climbed and saw him
- Most of his social media disappeared as if never existed
- His phone password can't be cracked by FBI

Now I am not saying anything because we live in the age of spin, and who even knows what the truth is. We probably won't get it.

But how is it possible that all this happened in the space of 30 minutes and they didn't even send a police officer to at least check him out.

[McLewis]

Well this did happen:

According to the AP, a local police officer—presumably armed—climbed a ladder to confront the gunman on the roof. When the gunman pointed his rifle at the officer, the officer retreated back down the ladder. That’s when the gunman shot toward Trump. https://t.co/HbsFXFqdC6

I know , didn’t mean to post it but it’s the only ss I had

Anyway the female secret service is banter. They didn’t cover the president, they didn’t know what to do at all, and they couldn’t properly handle their guns. It’s a disaster waiting to happen and Trump already has new all male security

I blocked these forced channels. under Musk, Twitter uses algorithms that pushes radical right-wing channels to the top, even if you had no interactions with them they still show up on your feed.
