Not sure if this qualifies for this community, but given Lemmy is the primary source of news for many I thought it was important enough news to share.

This is a developing story, and it's not even clear yet that Trump was the target.

Just one more staged assassination attempt bro, I swear bro if we stage just one more people will believe it's real this time bro. C'mon bro bro just one more. One more staged assassination attempt and people will stop talking about how Trump raped children on Epstein Island. We just need to stage one more, it'll work this time bro, I swear!

Maybe he forgot he was carrying until it was almost his turn for screening and didn't want to lose his place in line.
