  1. But far right, griftets will desperately try anyway because no low is too low for them

  2. Oh noooooo, two betting sites just predicted the election!!!! How interesting!!!

  4. no one cares. Nobody actually seems to believe it even happened.

  6. They don’t care about kids dying in schools. Why the *fuck* would I care about them?

  7. No shot no bullet; so was it really an “assassination attempt”?

  9. Guess who thinks the Trump shooting is a fact of life and secretly hopes to succeed him?

  10. It’s wild to me how no one is talking about this. Sure, turn on the news and it’s a top story. But after the rally shooting, everyone I knew was texting me, posting memes everywhere. Arguments on social media. The most literal “water cooler” discussions.

    This time? Crickets.

  11. He really thought it was gonna work this time. If the “assassin” was serious he’d be a chalk outline by now. The assassin wouldn’t have made it ten feet before being put down.

    This likely won’t be the last time as the definition of insanity is to keep on doing something expecting a different result, and he’s off his nut.

  13. I already took Donnie’s advice and I got over it soon after the incident was reported. Also, according to Vance, it’s a fact of life. Nothing we can do about it. I object to Secret Service protection for a convicted felon. Screw him!

  14. both were by conspiracy crackpots and gun nuts

    only one side of politics is their natural home

  15. I wonder if he will be held responsible for the shooting of his supporters from the prior actual shooting where he was prepared to fake injure his ear.

  16. It’s hilarious and beautiful how everyone just moved on after the first “assassin attempt”, which usually would have been a massive historical event. Same will happen again. It is a clear statement about how many people don’t give a shit about that fucking vile pig.

  17. There he goes again: blaming Kamala and Joe for making statements that Trump says inflammatory stuff . But Trump Constantly makes inflammatory statements. These two guys who wanted to shoot him are NUTS. They belong in a mental institution . ( well , at least the second one does)

  18. “Democrats not doing enough to control guns,” argues republicans.

  19. It’ll only push undecideds to vote for Kamala. Who wants four more years of chaos?

  22. If anything, I would think it would push more away from him. It’s pretty obvious his divisive, racist rhetoric and blatant lying are directly responsible for not only promoting chaos and violence, but in encouraging those responsible to further acts of violence.

  24. Nobody cares, this guy is yesterday’s news soon to be behind bars.

  27. Probably because most Americans do not believe the assassination attempts are real. Trump is desperate.

  28. I can’t wrap my head around this thing.
    The 1st was already really weird and the whole outcome was bizarre.
    No wound.
    A superficial analysis
    No medical follow up disclosed and etc.

    This one is hard to believe.
    I’m glad I’m not the only one.

    So fucking convenient to him
    A desperate man who lies for living to“the likes of which have never been seen before” as he always say…

  29. Maybe if Deflated Don didn’t make a huge fucking drama out of everything and the GOP hadn’t spent years insisting that school children being shot to pieces was the price of Freedom, people might care a little bit more.

    As it is, I think it just reminds people what a non-stop clusterfuck he is.

  30. Not when it’s his own 2nd Amendment guys exercising their God given rights…

  31. There wasn’t a second assassination attempt. Why do people insist on stating that?

  32. It wasn’t even an attempt. The whole story seems wrong… for both situations.

  33. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a net negative for him. I mean, he just brings chaos with him everywhere he goes .

  34. Because it was fake. Just like everything else about trump.

  35. I heard the 2nd guy didnt even get a shot off. If thats the case, he should be released from jail in 24 hours… Florida is a red state after all, you are allowed to carry and brandhish a weapon thanks to DeSantis’ new law.

    Maybe DeSantis is tryin to kill Trump.

  36. Of course not. It was barely an attempt, and you don’t have a nice impromptu photoshoot to make headlines. It’s just another deranged Republican who felt spurned by Trump’s hate filled rhetoric.
