What about it? I’m hard pressed to get too worked up by this one. Didn’t even get a shot off to nick an ear, SS ran him off and caught him later. That it’s being reported as an “assassination attempt” speaks more to the media’s lust for clicks than anything else. Since it was once again a Trump supporter / wackjob you can expect this to be washed out of the news cycle by the end of the week

Why vilify the media for using language that the FBI stated to be the situation?

[dino7c]

I would rather him just lose and have to face the fact he was beaten by a black women than be killed but there would also be some irony in a gun nut taking him out.
but mah freedumbs?!?!

Trump has never fired a gun, driven a car, or lived outside a major metropolis, but he is totally like you bumpkins and understands the struggle

Another boost for crazy Trump

Thoughts and prayers to Trump. It's absolutely unacceptable that someone would wish harm on him.

####... I'm so torn up about this. Poor Trump. I hope he recovers quickly and look forward to more feminine hygiene products at Rally's in the near future. All hail drumpf.

It’s a sacrifice that needs to be made. Just a fact of life.

It's one thing to disagree with Trump's policies, but dismissing an assassination attempt just shows how far some people are willing to ignore basic human decency.


Political views aside, celebrating or downplaying violence against anyone crosses a serious line. If we can't agree on that, what does that say about us?

It's alarming when politics blinds people to the gravity of an assassination attempt. No matter who it is, that's not something to take lightly.

And claiming that “America is embarrassing”

America has its issues, but it's also a place of innovation, freedom, and opportunity. It's far from perfect, but embarrassing? That's a stretch. Please compare any other melting pot with over 330-340 million people, living in close proximity and you’ll see what countries are embarrassing. Culturally or religiously speaking

^ Funny, as that was being typed, I was typing this..

I find it somewhat amusing and pretty sad that after so many years of chaos around this loser, a reported potential assassination attempt is a blip on the radar. But that’s where we are.

It feels like there is a very “meh, whatever” vibe to the receipt of this news. We have to report on it, so let’s get through it.

Nice try, but defending basic human decency doesn’t make me Donald. It just shows I can disagree with someone’s politics without wishing harm on them.

I can’t stand a lot of policies that politicians have here in our country, but I sure as hell don’t wish ill will on anyone. Or even laugh about it.

I'm sorry, but how does "gunfire in the area" translate to an assassination attempt?

Gunfire near a high-profile figure’s location, like a golf course, isn’t just a random noise; it’s a serious security concern. Context and intent matter in these situations. Especially considering there was a recent attempt on his life

[ResAlien]

You’ll forgive me but when someone traffics exclusively in the currency of fear and violent rhetoric I simply cannot find the outrage to clutch my pearls when the chickens come home to roost. Good to hear he’s fine though I do hope this time no comedy rock acts are broken up in the aftermath.

Cool. So are you going to speak out about the incalculable amount of harm and human suffering that Trump will cause if he gets back into power?
