There is like literally four fucking rooftops near the vicinity of the stage and you didn't think to secure one of them? Thanks for making Trump a hero mf.

The second worst thing that could have happened is trump not being assassinated.
The worst thing that could have happened is trump almost being assassinated.
The thing that most helped his chances happened. And of course this is a pure coincidence
based on this logic: if republicans want to really guarantee his victory they should shoot at him more
Lmfao trump ain't no hero. Getting shot at doesn't instantly make you a better person. He was a piece of shit before getting shot at and I'm sure he'll act more of a piece of shit after.
"I like candidates who don't get shot"
He isn't a hero in the literal sense, but he is the person who "people are trying to silence", and who is "fighting the good fight", so people will see him as the hero they need to save the US and this attack legitimised his victimising persona
Has Trump said anything since the shooting? (Other than the announcement he clearly didn't write?)
Normally we can never get the guy to shut up, two full days of silence when he can milk the publicity of this is baffling.
The realization people want you dead can do that though... This isnt The idea that people want to hurt you. But actually knowing they want to kill you. If you could continue thinking this was a outlier them your very naive.
It seems like it would be a very tangible indication of disapproval, and narcissists have a hard time with that.
I stopped expecting normal human behavior from him a long time ago.
There was a rnc thing today so he's probably had a chance to say whatever he wants since then.
he will be treated like one though
Yeah, by morons that already treated him like a hero.
and by the people in the fence who have republican tendencies who were not planning to vote before but will now
Uh oh. The SS better stage another quick phone upgrade so they can accidentally lose all the evidence again.
The target is an ongoing security threat, too
Handrail looks like dude is defending the president with a vacuum.
Interesting. Welp nothing to see here
