I hate that this photo is everywhere. It makes him look triumphant and heroic, or at least it does to his supporters. I'd rather see him cowering and crying on the ground like a punk.
He was saying "wait wait wait" as SS were trying to escort him off the stage, so he could pose and pump his fist. He knew what he was doing here
The USSS was even ducking below him so he could be up high. All the way to his vehicle. WTF!?
This is the same service whose car Mike Pence wouldn't enter on Jan 6th because he suspected they were Trump loyalists.
Pretty sure each time he says "Wait"... He asks for his shoes.
There is a clip with audio where he says "wait wait wait" in quick succession and turns around to pose. I do know he was asking about his shoes but I think that's separate from what I'm saying

This is pretty bad. There are reports that a bystander was killed. It's gross to call the shooter a hero.
Why would they be a hero? They helped trump.
Nobody in their right mind wants this. It only helps Trump.
He wasted his life and didn't even succeed in his goal, or did he? I know sounds nuts but by the looks this attempt on Trump life has helped him. Look at that goddamm photo op. Bullshit.

Title: "AP sources"
link: "something else - not AP."
me: "why?"
Will this get the GOP to finally support gun bans?
Nope. Remember when someone shot up a congressional softball game and nothing happened?
Remember when Jan 6 nutters stormed the Capitol with guns and zip ties and nothing happened to the person inciting all of it?

No, it will get them to support preemptively shooting those in the out-group.
*continue supporting
They're probably lining up to buy more
Weird how a guy whose administration directly and indirectly killed a lot of people, plans to up his body count in a second term, who's committed multiple crimes, including insurrection and espionage, but seems both unlikely to ever see justice and furthermore appears to be likely to be elected back into office would prompt an assassination attempt. It's the small scale of "those who make peaceful revolution impossible" quote. Have a functioning justice system where you can just trust that people who do crimes will be put in prison and a functioning political system where you can just trust that the absolute worst people won't get all the power, and assassinations become the province of the insane rather than an entirely unsurprising outcome.
I don’t follow the news for one day, and apparently Richard Simmons took a shot at Trump. Or was it Dr. Ruth?
Dr. Ruth was a trained sniper. No joke.

Westheimer joined the Haganah Jewish Zionist underground paramilitary organization (later, the Israel Defense Forces) in Jerusalem.[26][27][25][28] Because of her diminutive height of 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm), she was trained as a scout and sniper.[24][28][29] Of this experience, she said, "I never killed anybody, but I know how to throw hand grenades and shoot."[30] She became an ace sniper, and learned to assemble a rifle in the dark.[24][14] When she was 90 years old, she demonstrated that she was still able to put together a Sten gun with her eyes closed.[31]

After seeing the photoshoot Trump got from this I hope Europe can pull our collective shit together once Trump pulls the US out of NATO and stops helping Ukraine.
