Were the assassination attempts on tRump real or BS?

1. One reason

To think some might be real is that the shooter almost always turns out to have some rw connection, either with family or voting registration.

The optics of your own supporters trying to kill your are not good.

It is no big surprise that those who voted for him are angry that he lied to get their vote. He has nothing planned for them in the way of affordable living. Their big thing was Epstein and we all know where that’s at.

4. One question:

To think some might be real is that the shooter almost always turns out to have some rw connection, either with family or voting registration.

Doesn't nearly everyone have some family who are Republicans though?

[NJCher]

6. Yes and they

Would also have some independents because that voting group is as big as that of the political parties.

They would also have a substantial number of non voters. I believe only 61% of the eligible adult population votes.

So now the choice of what those relatives might be has been watered down considerably, yet Republican is always there.

It’s a matter of consistency out of a wider stream of the political makeup.

2. Real. nt

3. Real n/t

[raccoon]

5. I think the time that he got loose from the SS huddle and did a fist bump of victory was BS.

Like most people, TSF would've been scared shitless after that if it were real.

[Champp]

18. sure as shit looked scripted

maga assholes shooting at other maga repulican assholes is apparently a thing. Then they blame the dems

[Kaleva]

7. Real

[LymphocyteLover]

8. a bit of both IMO

there were fishy aspects to the Butler shooting but real shots fired

[Happy Hoosier]

9. Real, but....

Trump wasn't "shot."

He has no scarring. He either got nicked by some glass debris, but blood from the actual victim.

[Tommy Carcetti]

10. Real, but exaggerated, exploited and distorted.

There's still been no clear motive disclosed for the shooter, who was a registered Republican. We might never know--from the bits that came out before Trump took office, I heard he was also looking at targeting President Biden, meaning he might have wanted to simply create chaos. But who knows.

I do not believe Trump was actually struck by a bullet. I believe he was struck by debris caused by a bullet, but I don't think an actual bullet struck him. His injuries--even with an almost miraculous glancing blow--would have been much worse.

Trump has played up the incident like a fiddle for everything it's worth.

[Kaleva]

12. Yes

[BannonsLiver]

11. I have no idea

But their wild speculation over the tree fort in palm beach is a new level of melodrama, even for these whiny, performative nut jobs.

[Greybnk48]

13. I have another related question. Who were the people guarding Trump that day?

Were they actual U.S. Secret Service members? Does anyone here know?

Because I have a relative who was in the SS for years back in the 70's and 80's and the fact that they stopped scooping him up to take time to get his shoes with the lifts in them and let him pose for pictures is dicey.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

14. Don't know, but if 3 attempts have occurred in just over a year, I think his days are numbered.

I just wonder if his Christo-fascist followers will end up housing his sarcophagus in that so-called "ballroom"?

[the_liberal_grandpa]

15. Clearly a real shooter ...

Someone was shot and killed as was the shooter so I cannot say it was faked. But I will say that the orange asshole was not shot and the whole thing was staged. Not sure what the shooter thought he was doing but he did not shoot the felon.

Just look at his ear in the Time magazine cover that he hates so much and tell me that ear was ever traumatized.

[Wuddles440]

16. Speaking from professional experience...

the veracity of both were suspect and especially regarding the alleged attempt in Butler, PA.

[Bettie]

17. BS

I can't imagine that in a truly dangerous situation, a secret service detail would allow their charge to stand up and scream in full view of any other possible shooter.

And for those who think it was real because someone was killed....when has that man ever cared about any human life but his own? Given who he is surrounded with, I do believe he'd be just fine with one of his supporters taking a bullet for a photo op.
