it was an incredibly close shot. looks like he coincidentally moved his head the exact moment the shot rang, if he hadn’t he would be gone. factors like windage also play a role. idk which outcome is worse.
Both Trump and the Shooter surviving would have been best. If the kid was able to say exactly why he did it, then all the conspiracy would die. An Trump would have some uncomfortable questions about his involvement with Epstein. That second part might still happen. But likely won’t.
Definitely this one. This just killed my hope that he loses again, and you know the Gravy Seals are going to step up their harassment and violence towards people - and that would have been true either way. At least with the other outcome he doesn’t get in.
He couldn’t have asked for a better gift for his campaign.
As someone indicated below, he’s now a living martyr. I would place money that he uses this to galvanize his following and it actually benefits him in the polls.
He needed to die in an embarrassing way (lethal dose of ex-lax?) for it to hurt his reputation.
I don’t buy the ‘pave the way for someone worse’ argument. Who would that be? I can’t think of anyone right now, except for maybe De Santis in terms of actually being somewhat competent.
Apparently, eating C-4 causes diarrhoea. Bomb tech recruits would be fed small amounts of C-4 and then chased around with a taser, a shock from which they feared would set it off, while trying not to shit themselves
Cruz is competent and evil, ramashwarmy will do anything the likes of miller and bannon come up with, de sanstis as you said… There are worse options, frightingly…
him dying would’ve turned him into a martyr and basically solidified him as a saint, if not a god, to the maga crowd. I can imagine the repercussions of that. there’s also the possibility that someone worse replaces him, someone just as fascist and selfish but twice as competent, and that would be disastrous. y’know, the whole “guys I went back in time and killed Hitler” trope/joke.
Which biden would be prepared to deal with. Keep in mind that Trump was in office for Jan 6. One might even consider that a good thing, as this time with a competent president there would be less victims, and more insurrectionists getting their voting rights taken away.
In the video he reacts to something before being tackled, kinda ducking his head a little and grabbing at his ear. He was hit by something, but I’ve heard some conjecture it may have been shrapnel from a shot teleprompter, so seems to either be that or a bullet itself.
Some still survive injury to the head so if you want to kill someone instantly, try to aim for the heart. Security services know this that’s why persons of interest are advised to wear bulletproof vests. I am guessing Trump is wearing one so had the shooter tried to aim for the torso, that would have been more embarrassing than near-missing Trump to the head.
No it wasn’t. He has zero injuries. It could even been a shard of glass on the stage. Stages are dirty fucking things that no one cleans once they are up.

I also don’t know which outcome would be worse but I do know which one I really wanted in that moment.
MAGA world would collapse from infighting to be the new figure head. So I know which outcome I’d have preferred.

Might not be a politician. He wasn’t before he became president.

A perversion of the word Martyr as it requires one to walk in faith. The appropriating of religious symbols merely as an aesthetic is really on brand…
Martyr apparently comes from Greek meaning “one who testifies in court.” The religious connotations came later.

Haley isn’t really afraid to say the quiet part loud.

Yeah but then he couldnt be in the oval, which is what actually matters lol.
others have made a terrifying point that his death could incite another instruction like Jan 6.
Which biden would be prepared to deal with. Keep in mind that Trump was in office for Jan 6. One might even consider that a good thing, as this time with a competent president there would be less victims, and more insurrectionists getting their voting rights taken away.
¿Biden competent? He’s probably gonna die of old age by Jan 5, and if not, is going to be ordering who knows what crap with his dementia on Jan 6…
You’re going to have to do better if you want to fool anyone, estúpido troll ruso.
Don’t engage, just mark him as a right wing troll with a user note so you can remember not to engage with him.
I’ll give you one (1) pity point for jumping right to the low hanging tree category for personal attack.
I still think that would be better
Now he’s a living martyr.
Trump at his next public appearance.
this is true…
I’m pretty sure that’s already true, but I see your point overall.
A lot of them already called him “the God Emperor”, so…
Assuming it was actually the bullet that injured his ear, and not the 10 secret service guys wrestling a 78 year old man to the ground.

That’s why you aim for the torso, center of mass, smh, frfr

Like a real life Day of the Jackal.

what the actual fuck are you talking about? a shard of glass, in the ear?
there are two possibilities. this was a failed assassination attempt or this was an elaborately staged plot to boost his popularity.
If the bullet went through a teleprompter he could’ve been hit by the shards. That would explain all the slashes on his face.
One of the news outlets reported that. But nevermind reading what is actually written.
