So someone has taken a shot at Trump but only grazed his ear by the looks so far.

You can tell he’ll use this to his advantage, who ever was trying to stop him just gave him the biggest boost he could get 🤦🏻

The Secret Service detail were right on the money in their response...did you see their reaction??....Very impressive work. (y) (y)
One spectator dead, and two injured....that is tragic, regardless of anyone's politics.

I'm still amazed that someone was able to get up on a rooftop, set themselves up and get a shot off.

Maybe the forward planning for a rally like that isn't quite as comprehensive as it would have been for a sitting president??
I did read that there was a specified security perimeter, and that the gunman was beyond it.
That said, it was only 400ft or something..... by means of comparison, 4000+ yards is the current record for a sniper kill.

I'm more amazed that a rooftop 150 meters away didn't have an SS sniper on it.

The shooter was about 150m/450 feet away. He was outside the security perimeter. That's a decent distance for someone unless they're trained to use a rifle.

There's eye witness testimony from a few people who saw him climb up on the roof with the rifle slung over his shoulder.

I don't think it was a stunt to get popularity for Trump. I do think the security services failed him.

Someone like Newsom will replace him IMO. It won't be Harris

Shows what I know. Biden has just nominated Harris.

There's going to be fireworks.

Sorry, I should've mentioned that, but TBH I wasn't sure if that meant she automatically gets the nomination, or if the Dems have to approve it, or if that's just a formality...this hasn't happened before, as far as I'm aware.

He's a first-rate dirtbag, he really is.
Harris is surging in polls...I can't wait to see Trump get his ass handed to him come the election.

Did anyone see trump yesterday being asked about how he'll reduce the USA deficit?

He's got the attention span of a 3 year old. He just talks for the sake of it without actually saying anything.

And yet another assassination attempt, this time in Florida, apparently.

If at first you don't succeed..../
