"Sounds" like multiple shots fired but only one grazed his ear but nobody else appeared to be hit/hurt!! Where did the shots come from? The security team didn't appear to cover themselves in glory either because Trump was visible all the way back to his vehicle!!!!
Not sure why you would want to martyr Trump. Really poor news. That country is an absolute melodrama. Two dead at the scene it seems.
I can just imagine the briefing. Right, I want you to pop a shot at me. Here’s your rifle and bullets. It has to be realistic so make sure that when I’m up there talking you just graze my ear. I’ll be a bit animated up there, moving my head and stuff so make sure that it’s a good shot. If you miss I’ll have a fake blood capsule that I’ll use. Or I might use a scalpel that I’ll keep in my hand. I’m not sure yet. Don’t worry about all the Secret Service agents around me, they’re all pretty dense and won’t be able to tell the difference between stage blood and real blood though. Now , here’s the thing. The Secret Service might be a bit thick, but the likelihood is that you’re going to get shot dead. Don’t worry though I’ll make sure your family are ok. Oh yes, if the bullet misses me then it may well get one of the attendees so not only will you probably die but so will the other guy. But you’re doing this for America, the land of the free. Now, did you get all that?
vivid imagination............Why did Biden say "someone needs to put a bullseye on Trump" on July, 8th?
No idea and I don’t really care. My post was an attempt at humour to outline the silliness of the post I referenced. The situation wasn’t staged as too much could go wrong. I’m not a conspiracy theorist.
No doubt he will now go on and win. The man didn't even miss the PR photo shoot after being shot. Clenched fists, American flag and fight. That will hit home to lots of Americans in certain states. There are moments in elections that swing the tide. This is absolutely it.
Police negligence at Hillsborough was considered a conspiracy theory at the time blaming football hooliganism. And we all know how that turned out There are many conspiracy theories. Plenty are bat shìt, but some do turn out to be true.
Have to wonder what sort of psychological effect an assassination attempt has on a 78 year old who has barely been clinging on to the last shreds of sanity for ****ing years. Dark days ahead.
Whatever happens in the election we are doomed. The democrats have become republicans, and the republicans have become facists. Either party winning will be hell. May start looking for other places to live. Just need to persuade the kids to move too.
