They believe everything is a conspiracy. It’s a thing with that group.
FPOTUS Trump attempted assassination…
- Thread starter 24TIGER
- Start date
This thread is like preseason training camp for in-game threads.
Makes one wonder had Trump been killed, would Biden have stayed in the race? I mean... the timing of his drop out is suspiciously odd.
So many people suffering from TDS, on both sides.
Entertaining, yet disturbing.
Imagine being so mind warped by this man that you would actually think Kamala is a viable leader.
You don’t have to buy the conspiracy theory angle to find your argument stupid.
I’m sure you’ll hear a lot of things…politics there is always a lot of “I heard”
Fact is democrats are upset he survived whether they knew about it or not
General Washington is rolling in his grave at Mt. Vernon
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Teddy R, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, Reagan, Bush 41…even Bill Clinton..
Now? What hath God wrought?
I love our country and served 28 years to defend her…but I’m not overly optimistic.
The best this Nation has to offer is Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris?
God help us all.
I’ve never been hit by a “bullet”…but I’ve been hit with “shrapnel “ or “fragged” as we would say…and you bleed 🩸 just the same.
And it hurts a lot.

I have no idea how my statement got out. I will have to get back to you on that.
What exactly would this change?
Shrapnel from several fragmented rounds nearly killed me. That’s kind of a distinction without a difference.
That's a good question. Someone should ask Trump why he claimed it was a bullet rather than a fragment of something else.
This right here. Im in a fantasy football league with and former SS agent. He just switched agencies because of this.
His stories about this administration were nuts.
I'm not sure what the documents case has to do with it, but if you think it's harder to defend a private residence with invited guests than an outdoor venue open to the public - you just lack intelligence.
I'm not suggesting there was some deep state assassination plot, btw. Just commenting on the absurdity of it being harder to defend MAR than 100 acres around a public event with thousands of people.
Sure, I just think the people in this thread who are going with the conspiracy theories might find the lack of clarity interesting.
I feel like people have been saying some variation of this for a long time honestly.

One of my uncles who is a Clemson man told me during Bush vs Gore "son, if this is the best we can do then tuck your head between your legs and kiss your sweet ass goodbye." I've always remembered that because he said it in such a funny way, and he is a staunch Republican.
My thought as Americans, the politicians we get are reflective of our society as a whole.
Take it beyond the personalities.

The Republicans held a robust primary with lots of candidates who participated in public debates and their voters picked Trump. The Democrats didn't want a repeat of the cycle when Bernie gave Hilliary a run for their money so they chose not to have a robust primary (no public debates) and their voters picked Biden.
Right before the RNC, Trump has an assassination attempt. Meanwhile, the Democratic elites, large donors and Hollywood come clean on Biden's diminished mental acuity and despite the Americans voting for him, they usher Biden out the door. Harris comes in that door without having to navigate one primary vote.
Personalities come and go, but when institutional processes provide no safeguards, the democratic republican form of government is at peril. In a working model, the media would call this out and protect liberty, but the media is picking a side and that will hasten the demise of liberty.
God is the only hope for America's salvation. Not sure how we got here, but I agree our Founding Fathers would not approve.
I mean this is pretty rich coming from someone who is attempting to prop up the Republican party as the protector of democracy. The Republican party is not the party of Reagan, Bush, etc. and has basically expunged all moderates and people who don't throw in with the extremism that is the cult of personality via Trumpism.
Trump literally tried to overthrow our free and fair election. He called and pressured the officials in Georgia to find votes that didn't exist, his staffers hatched fake elector schemes in multiple states, and he tried to get his VP to interrupt the peaceful transition of power to the point of siccing a crowd of deplorables on The Capitol who attacked police, smeared feces on the walls, and chanted "Hang Mike Pence" some 60 feet away from the VP and his family as Secret Service rushed them out.
Trump is already saying that he won't honor the results of this election unless he wins of course. He has alluded to staying for a third term and said he would like to be able to hold elections anytime he wants. There's a reason 40 of 44 former cabinet members including his own VP have refused to endorse him, and this Heritage Foundation bullshit they call Project 2025 will seek to interrupt democratic processes while installing Trump loyalists. He won't have the cabinet members who acted as human guardrails from the first term. This time he'll have a bunch of cronies like Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller and hell probably the damn My Pillow crackhead.
Ehh...I remember when Ronald Reagan was mocked as some "cowboy actor", and that turned out pretty good. Same for Dabo Swinney..."he wasn't even a coordinator!". Perhaps not ideal but we have had career politcians fall flat on their face too. Who really knows what the secret sauce is, and when it is called for.

How would Trump know? Someone nearly put a bullet through his head. We’ve got a still-frame photo of that fact. The obvious assumption would certainly be the bullet. That would be much less random than a piece of aluminum from the stands. But I can’t see why that detail would matter at all.
You can't see why it would matter when Trump is going around saying he took a bullet for this country?
While I find the statement grossly self-aggrandizing, have we established that he didn't?
I honestly don’t understand why it matters. It was pretty obvious based on the pictures that a bullet grazed really close to him.
How would anyone ever know what grazed him?
Also, I don’t really follow politics, so no clue what Trump says. But he obviously didn’t take a bullet for this country. It was an assassination attempt.
No he torpedoed the bill authored by Republican Langford from OK because he didn't want Biden to look good, so I don't think he's really actually tough on it, at least at that border.
More stuff like the following...
pulling out of NATO
kissing up to autocrats like Putin and Orban
being in bed with Heritage Foundation nutjobs
refusing to acknowledge he lost 2020 election
putting his SIL, both sons, and daughter in WH roles
installing his DIL as RNC co-chair
funneling RNC funds to his legal cases
Muslim ban
disastrous tariffs
overturning Roe v Wade
picking a VP who wants to end no-fault divorces and that battered wives should remain in marriages
considering IVF/contraception bans
claiming climate change isn't real
dining with avowed Neo-nazis at MAL
fundamentally downplaying science including saying he will defund schools that require ordinary vaccines
to say nothing of all his court cases and horribly unfit personality.
No, that has not been established. I'm just making the point that it definitely should be established, and that it definitely does matter.
Agree to disagree. If a shooter shot a gas tank behind a president and the explosion killed the president instead of the bullet, does it really matter? It was still an assassination and death from the result of a gunshot imo.
From the still-shot photo of the bullet about to hit him and angle of his head to the shooter, seems most likely it was the bullet. But I don’t know how anyone would ever actually know unless something was embedded in his ear. If something grazed him, it would be difficult to know for certain what grazed him.
if that photo is real , then the bullet had passed him, at least from the aerial depiction i saw.
well said and all true.
