Do you think the gunman was aware it was a publicity stunt when he was being shot at? Is he aware now he’s in custody?
Millions of Americans own millions of guns. I don't know why they bother. They seem to keep missing their fat, moronic presidential candidate and they don't ever win any shooting medals at the Olympics.
The only reason I am convinced the average American even knows how to use a gun is that school shootings are a regular occurrence.

Probably just don't make last minute decisions to play a quick round of golf? Can't imagine it's too easy to shut down an entire course at very short notice. even if he did have that level of security detail (which he currently doesn't).
Clealy everyone should be entitled to go about their business as they please but he nearly got killed a few weeks ago.

I wouldn't wish it on him (obviously) but it would mean that the USA could start regaining some respect and integrity.
I still find it astounding that half of the voting population of that country are considering voting for a convivted felon, sex pest and liar. Not to mention someone who has so little regard for their beloved constitution.
All those millions of people who can't explain why they are voting for the fella, and appear to have absolutely no shame in supporting him.
It is embarrassing.

America is an example of what happens when the free market runs out of control with little regulation. The grifters then exploit those with grievance...

Most people on here are perfectly happy with a Putin assassination to save many many lives and maybe they feel the world will be a much safer place without Trump
IMO there will be bloodshed in America whoever wins in November
Trump loses and him and his cult will attempt to win power by force again, but this time they will be 4 years better prepared
Trump wins and his cleansing plans will no doubt result in many deaths clearing America of immigrants and of course he will be above the law to do anything he wants now his judges have said he can if he is president. And of course if he wins he will attempt to make the Presidency a Trump family dictatorship
A Trump assassination will result in his cult rising no doubt, but without a leader maybe easier to control
Which is what the grifters have been trying to make happen here. .
I don’t share your fears.
As last time, it will be four years of very little action, poorly thought out policy, some nasty laws pertaining to women’s choices over their own bodies, perhaps a few MAGA scuffles in DC.
But no, it’ll just be another mean spirited, ineffectual, grubby four years of nonsense.

The chances of an agent spotting the tip of a rifle in a bush are so remote that Trump should buy a lottery ticket.

No. Most of us on here feel that Trump would be a dreadful pick to be “Leader of the free world”, but none of us (to my knowledge) have or would advocate shooting him.
We would like to see sentencing take place for those crimes he’s been found guilty of committing.
No other suspect has been accommodated in the way Trump has, it does feel like he’s being given very special treatment in this regard. You don’t really have a functioning justice system if status can place you above the law.

The things Hew Edwards does to deflect media attention eh?
News has moved on a bit now - but this was in the New York Post and elsewhere (I quoted it on the election thread). Now they are saying things like "Authorities have yet to determine if the shooter got off any shots at the Secret Service agents or at Trump." Which is similar I guess.
He did stuff the Supreme Court full of right-wingers - which will have a lasting and long-term impact on the way the USA heads over the next decade or two. Look at the overturning of Roe v Wade and the president is immune decisions.

Many people seemed to rejoice when Thatcher died. If Trump was to die it would certainly raise a "good" in me but an assassination would probably cause many problems so I'm hoping for a slip on one of his spare wigs dropped on the bathroom floor.
Just being honest here.
Exactly. It will be much, much more fun to watch him live long enough to be present at his own downfall.

Absolutely agree with the majority - I want to see him live long enough to be imprisoned for his crimes against global Democracy, sanity and intellect. He deserves to lose heavily (for a third time) in the polls in November and then face the consequences of his actions. It will be important for the country to see the legal system hold him to account, he's already got away with more than anyone else would do.
Unfortunately, but realistically, his death would be seen as a conspiracy by his acolytes however it happened. To my mind, he looks like a walking heart attack waiting to happen, but even if he did go of these fairly obvious natural causes some would blame Harris / the CIA / Haitians / Mexico / drag queens / China.
