What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Norgy]

Well fuck.

I don't want political violence, and I don't want Trump assassinated.  I want Trump rejected by the US.

But you have to think this is only going to help him in the election.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. This is a small disaster, really. Remember when his soulmate Bolsonaro was stabbed in the running up to the Brazilian elections?

On the other hand, the Biden campaign is reportedly suspending all campaign ads, which doesn't seem like a winning move.

Eyewitness to the sniper. Assassin was shot dead by the Secret Service.

Trump will get a brief sympathy bump but I don't think this will have any effect on the election. Nobody is going to switch their vote because of a failed assassination attempt.

I bet it is a Muslim shooter, they know when Trump is back their adventures in Gaza w/Iran are coming to an end.

Eh, the supposed shooter is plastered all over twitter with Elon Musk commenting under his very, very headshot and deceased pic. You tell me if he looks straight outta MENA.

Bad day for the Secret Service.

Interesting, the shooter has been preliminarily identified (lower tier "real" media like NY Post) as Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20, registered Republican. He apparently was wearing a "Demolition Ranch" shirt. Demo Ranch is a huge YouTube channel that features guys who own a big rural property and use it to test fire a ton of guns (often exotic) for their viewers, they largely don't get into politics and maintain an apolitical stance, but there is a certain demo that is their bread and butter.

Weird on spec, not what you would expect as a Trump wannabe assassin.

Probably just your run of the mill mentally ill.

This dude is probably being mocked by Booth and Princip in the afterlife.

Footage of Trump getting zinged and post shooting statement.

Highly initial reports does make it seem like he's more in the John Hinkley Jr range of wanna-be assassins.

But I feel bad making any kind of guesses this early on.

Maybe but for those who it matters, the imagery does add to Trump is more vigorous than Biden math.

Oh no! Your moment of bigotry was spoiled.

Very surprising news.
I expect a lot of conspiracies on this one. It really does seem so absolutely perfect for the trumpies.
Enhances trumps tough guy image, builds up the projectionist nonsense about the violence and anti democratic leanings of the left /deep state / woke.

I do wonder what brand of crazy led to this considering he's very much from the trump supporting demographics.

Trump urges Americans to 'stand united' after assassination attempt
Donald Trump has published his second statement on the Truth Social social media platform since the Pennsylvania shooting on Saturday. In it, the former Republican president said he looks forward to speaking from Wisconsin where the Republican National Convention will be held this week.

"In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined," Trump wrote.

One funny thing about Trump is that you can always tell when it wasn't him writing something.
