Trump's won, the West is goosed ☹️

Yes Biden screwed up and the media piled in.

Funny how they seem to not notice when Trump does it.

Again, and again, and again…

If this really was an assassination attempt then it will change the course of the election -

Trump rally shooting being investigated as attempt on his life as spectator killed | Donald Trump | The Guardian

Just seen this in newspapers and am shocked, well not really as we know there are nutters everywhere these days with a gripe. Its amazing someone hasn’t had a go at him before to be honest.

Absolutely! This will really get support on his side from stupid Americans. Although I feel sorry for the person who died if they were just an attendee. Even if they were a Trump supporter having dodgy political convictions and attending rallies should not get you killed.

But I hope his security people are well paid! I would not risk my life for him.

I wonder how he feels about guns now?

Delighted I’m sure - this will get him to the White House. :roll_eyes:

This photo taken by the photographer, Evan Vucci at AP, of Trump clenching his fist will help him win the election. It’s his Reagan moment.

I think we’re going to see a lot more of that photo - it’s propaganda gold.

Unfortunately it’s a great photo -bloodied, but defiant Trump, and the ‘flag was still there.’

Edit. The more I study the photo the better it gets, fantastic composition like a C19th French heroic painting - Delacroix/Gericault. The secret service man’s gesture accidentally echoes that of Trump, and everything in the photo is red, white or blue. But unlike a painting, this is all composed in a split second while under fire. Probably going to be photo of the year, regardless of who wins the election. And this image of Trump will be endlessly repro’d on every form of merchandise.

Grim!

Footnote: On another thread several people have said that they don’t know what a ‘meme’ is, I’m sure this image will very rapidly become one.

At least it seems that the man who fired at him was a white american republican…so perhaps a question of mental capacity rather than terrorism/immigrants/etc. Not that this will matter as they’ll lie anyway.

Anyone else think that this is all too convenient?

Yes, this footage of him running to take the shot makes it even more impressive.

He was lucky the Secret Service didn’t take him out. Ideal cover to get close to Trump.

Heaven knows what repercussions this whole mess will cause.

The shooter had climbed onto a single story building according to eye witness reports. I wonder how many supporters will be willing now to stand behing this man at his rallies. Isn’t usually the good guy who gets assassinated in the US?
