Trump survives Assasination Attempt
- Thread starter John Elden Ring

Politics
Looking at some sites like CNN, they are saying he might have fallen, and that is what caused the injury.
I watched a video where you can cleary see him grabbing his ear + there were sounds, gunshot I guess?
I think the Bullet his his ear or he might have cut his ear when falling to protect himself, i'm clining towards the first option
Im pretty sure he just won the 2024 elections. Happend in Brazil, someone tried to assasinate Bolsonaro, and his support skyrocketed
The base was more-or-less already galvanized. This will push more independents toward him because it's just further proof of the things he's been saying for years about the way the system is being used against him and how the opposition is riling up their supporters toward violence.
I'm in agreement that this basically sealed the election in his favor, assuming there isn't another attempt that ends up successful.
No doubt. I live in deep red rural Oklahoma and I know more than a few people who are just itching for a reason to go off. I don't agree with their zeal for a fight, but I doubt they're the only ones.
Remember when people drank bleach & people were saying trump told them to do it ...
Yep, this is the problem with a lot of the media.
I can't remember her name. I think it was a clip from a news site called Msbnc. There was a lady on it named Joy Read or something like that.
She was like, Trump is a threat to democracy; something needs to be DONE!
This was a clip a few weeks ago, and at the time, I thought to myself, that's extremely dangerous to be using wording or phrases like that; it's almost conditioning people to do something.
People are so mad over politics these days; cult behaviour and tribalism stop people from seeing common sense. Its so sad people just can't seem to talk to each other.

I think you are right. It's totally crazy, regardless of whether you like or hate someone, this is just not good.

Yep, this will galvanize his base.

It seems 7 shots were made. Trump's ear was grazed, one person took a bullet to the head and died, another person is in the intensive care.
The shooter was killed on sight, he was at the top of one of the nearby buildings.
A successful attempt on Trump will probably mean a bunch of 2nd amendment proponents becoming convinced it's time to make literal use of the 2nd amendment.
It would not be pretty.

My guess is he was shot with an AR15 from a few hundred yards out using 556 rounds.

This has made him more popular than ever , if he'd been killed there would've been civil war ... Exactly the opposite of what that idiotic shooter wanted
