[Politics] Trump under fire.

[rigton70]

Seems like an assassination attempt.

How could you miss that massive orange target?

From BBC

Secret Service agents have rushed former President Donald Trump off stage after loud noises rang out at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Footage showed Trump ducking as sharp cracks - apparently shots - broke out.

He was quickly swarmed by secret service agents and rushed off stage to a waiting vehicle.

Trump appeared to raise a fist as he was led off stage.

Armed police took to the podium soon after.

Only an attempt?





Pity.

 

[StonehamPark]

Awful, and it’s only going to get worse in the lead-up.

 

[Munkfish]

Shocking. Looks like they hit his ear. Only my opinion from the footage I’ve seen.

Only going to increase his support.

‘You tried to kill me you can’t kill me. You loseeee’

The GQP are always accusing Dems of deploying false flag opérations. Remember, it's 100% projection, all the time. I certainly wouldn't put this past the Rethuglicans to stir up sh!t.

Thoughts and prayers, more guns.

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

Probably staged

Irrespective of what some think of him, its shocking news

You'd think, with all their guns, Americans would be able to shoot straight and hit their target.

This one is ripe for the conspiracy theorists.

Looks like they hit his ear.

Lucky escape. Just missed his brain by a matter of yards.

Irrespective of what some think of him, its shocking news

Totally agree

 

[StonehamPark]

IF those were shots fired (currently unconfirmed) - that absolute idiot behind the trigger will have absolutely handed the Republicans the White House in November.

How absolutely stupid, reckless and insane do you have to be (if it was indeed a shooter).

Irrespective of what some think of him, its shocking news

US politics just gets more divisive. Terrible business.

 

[indy3050]

The land of guns is fine

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

Totally agree

Yes it is shocking but just sums up modern society when you've got people filming on mobile phones literally a yard or so behind him. If it was me I would be on my toes.

 

[StonehamPark]

Heard the secret service guys shouting “shooter down, shooter down”.

 

[Munkfish]

If the shots didn’t hit trump who have they hit.

He’s walked away looking like a hero he was going to win the election anyway. Now there’s not even a question which is mental.
