Trump Assassination Attempt

[lpm]

bl..dy time travellers.

Washington Post's take is that "loud noises occurred"

[lpm]

Such a perfect photo. The fist pump, the blood, the American flag. Trump finally looks like the masculine hero his cult aways imagined him as.

[lpm]

Twitterers are so ridiculous, they are non-stop telling each other that shooting people is not on.

But shooting people is what Trump and the GOP stand for.

[lpm]

I think Trump tells the agents "Wait wait wait" as they try to rush him off, then he pumps his fist and says "Fight fight" and that's when the photographer gets that perfect picture.

Proves Trump has a sharp enough mind, he reacted fast and got it spot on.

The election is over, I'd have thought.

Prediction: a shooter will be found and will claim to be a Democrat. Some time later, a hidden bank account will be found showing payments from some dark money account (or possibly just Trump's SuperPAC, that's about the level of arrogance I'd expect)

...but too late to affect the election.

[lpm]

It's just another nutter with a gun. A routine daily event, except for who the victim is this time.

[tenchboy]

A receipt from Macey's Theatrical Tricks & Props for a packet of five fake blood capsules will be found by a dry cleaner in the breast pocket of Trump's blood-stained suit. However it won't happen for another fifty years as the finder didn't think it was of any importance at the time.

Joe said he was in church: <well he would say that wouldn't he>

[lpm]

One audience member dead, murderer also dead, according to early reports. One of them was hit in the head.

[lpm]

Wow. This interview is pretty incredible.

Says they were pointing at a guy on a roof top with a rifle for minutes, secret service took no action.

Note: subsequent tweets allegedly show the murderer dead on the roof top afterwards

[TopBadger]

Maybe the secret service shot him because he missed...

[Stranger Mouse]

I’m watching the video and after the shots a guy behind Trump on the right side of the screen appears to pull out a handgun. That doesn’t make sense (no guns allowed on entry and the Secret Service aren’t paying attention to him) so I presume I am incorrect. Can anyone else make it out?

I’m not sure this will necessarily helps Trump. His base will be motivated but it is possible that the way Trump plays it could alienate independents. It could go either way.

I just hope Biden doesn’t do a gaffe and say Trump should have been shot rather than shouldn’t.

Much will be made of the Trump fortitude with the raised fist but if I was a Secret Service agent I’d be a bit pissed off that he hung around to do that and get his shoes when I was the one acting as fleshy body armour

[headshot]

Sounds like they paused to get his shoes on. He says a couple of time “let me get my shoes on”. Not sure why that’s more important than avoiding being assassinated.

Biden gave a press conference and spoke excellently about it.

Wait til all the edited Biden clips get released.

Trump was shot through the ear missing his brain by three feet

This seems to be the closest historical parallel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted ... _Roosevelt

Why didn't he have any shoes on? Is he senile?

He would have worn his footwear behind the lectern but as they are clown shoes he would have been too far from the microphone.

Why am I reminded of Bob Roberts?

...reports that Trump was hit by flying glass, not a bullet.

Extra evidence for this came from Trump stating he had been shot through the ear.

[lpm]

I can't see a teleprompter on his right before the shooting. The one on his left is clearly visible. I would have expected plenty of pictures of shattered glass but haven't seen any.

But can't picture how a bullet from the right could hit an ear but not the head.

[Boustrophedon]

To paraphrase trump: I prefer my heros not shot in the ear.

He was looking to his right when he was hit.
on the BBC footage, both teleprompters are still visible circa 0.30 onwards.
There may have been a third.

You're correct. His head is turned 90 degrees to the right.

It's like the Day of the Jackal miss.

I missed the video where he turned into Orange Hulk.
