Trump, without evidence, blames Biden and Harris for assassination attempt

[groundloop]

Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump has blamed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for last month’s failed assassination attempt against him by accusing them of making it difficult for the Secret Service to protect him.

The Republican presidential nominee’s claim – for which he offered no evidence – was made on the television talkshow Dr Phil, hosted by Phil McGraw, on Tuesday. The remarks follow disclosures that several Secret Service agents from the Pittsburgh field office had been placed on administrative leave after the 13 July shooting.

“When this happened, people would ask, whose fault is it?” Trump told McGraw. “I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent. They were weaponising government against me, they brought in the whole DoJ to try and get me, they weren’t too interested in my health and safety.

“They were making it very difficult to have proper staffing in terms of Secret Service.”

1. Dude can be well protected in a straightjacket in a padded cell

or in prison. Very safe there. Stick him in solitary

2. FFS...

He doesn’t know if he’s coming or going these days.

3. Is this "Breaking News"?

Just baseless innuendos

4. Want to play the blame game, tRUMP? I think that you did this, secretly, in a feeble attempt to falsely

boost your poll numbers. You probably had one of your stooges direct one of their stooges, to hire this stupid kid to do this shooting.

I know that this is mostly BS, but when you're shooting off your mouth like tRUMP does every second, you desire every taunt, every insult that is directed your way. By the way, your makeup is dripping off your face, as usual (remember Ghoul, the ex mayor of NYC?).

You actually look better this way, so people can see the 'real' you. The fat, bloated tub of lard that you truly are.

7. I'm gonna say he had a blood squib in the palm of his hand when he slapped his ear to make it look bloodier

Of course, I have no evidence whatever, but I know he was way into the professional wrestling scene. No reason to believe he didn’t do that. He’s such a liar.

[SWBTATTReg]

10. You know, that's pretty possible, I'd forgotten about his background in the wrestling arena (the fake wrestling).

It wouldn't surprise me a bit. And his ear sure healed awfully quickly, eh, considering it almost got shot off? Yeah, sure...

[PortTack]

12. If a bullet went past his ear, why was there no blood behind the ear? Oh...it's a magic bullet..right, I forgot

F..king liar

I hate every GD republican elected or otherwise that support this orange degenerate fool!

[The Grand Illuminist]

28. One fallacy

The shooter was a registered republican. If it were an inside job, the shooter would have switched to Democrat.

[BoRaGard]

5. He's the greatest Victim of all time

such a whiner. that's what sets republican and russian hearts aflutter.

[PSPS]

6. What a weirdo.

8. Yep years ago, I accidentally cut my earlobe when I was giving myself a haircut. The scar remains.

[Judi Lynn]

11. It would be appropriate to get the evaluation from a REAL doctor to describe the "damage"

to that precious little shell of an ear.

Maybe Trump has superman powers to snap right back from death's door after sustaining an actual wound!

Thanks for posting the photos and dates.

I found it comical that immediately during the "shot" his tiny fist flew up in the air to imitate the spirit of the Marines hoisting the flag in the WWII statue! Downright embarrassing. Just a split second sooner, he would have raised his tiny fist BEFORE the sound, and people leaped to "protect" him!

Of course everyone knows his sense of timing is extraordinary:

9. If they wanted to kill him, he would be dead, for crying out loud

[PortTack]

13. Ding ding ding!

[ffr]

17. A 265 lbs 6' 2" or 6' 3" blob allegedly shot at from the side profile with no obstacles in between

and the best the would-be assassin could do was completely miss the target? And we're supposed to believe this was an assassination attempt?

[Walleye]

21. I tend to agree with that sort of like the movie, the parallax view

[LeftInTX]

14. That's been their messaging from the beginning

In my other life, I belong to a supposedly "no-politics" crime investigation website.

However, the biases are quite evident by numerous members over there.

They've been blaming Biden from the beginning.
They are saying that Secret Service agents were diverted from Trump to Jill Biden and Kamala.

They are saying that Trump should have had the same full protection as the president...blah, blah, blah.
They're saying that there is no law that a candidate or former president have less agents than a sitting president.

______________

This is also what the House Oversite Committee is all about. Sure they're not dumb enough to blame Biden directly, but they are making it sound like, '"Biden let it happen"

[ffr]

15. Speaking of which. How did you, TSF, grow your ear back? Is it prosthetic?

Really? Because it was reported by both doctors and the news that the upper portion of your ear got blown off. Yet, there it is, fully intact. How is that even possible, unless your ear was never blown off or even scraped. Was the round that you're associating your blown off ear a staged blank? Were all the rounds accounted for?

This whole assassination attempt thing has really fallen away from the news cycle, almost as if, reporters don't want to ask questions about it or have been told to.

[FakeNoose]

16. No ... no ... I have proof! It was RFK Jr's brain worm

... yeah that's the ticket!

[TommieMommy]

20. That's so funny 👍😁

[ffr]

18. The staged plot that day did boost DJT Media's stock 30% in one day. Maybe he's dipping into the well again

Because that stock has been sinking ever since, now down 5.5% again today, trading at $19.82.

Sorry Dipshit Donny! Lightning doesn't strike twice. The odds makers don't see you returning to the White House.

[TommieMommy]

19. I knew he would say that sooner or later

The stupid moron.

[Skittles]

22. LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT

REPUKES DO ALL THEY CAN TO ENSURE ANYONE CAN GET AN AR-15 BUT SOMEHOW IT'S THE FAULT OF DEMOCRATS WHEN THESE WEAPONS ARE ACTUALLY USED?

[MiniMe]

25. IOKIYAR

[Turbineguy]

23. No brainer

They would have hired a better shot.

[bluestarone]

24. The whole fucking shooting needs to be FULLY investigated!!

It STINKS to high heaven!! Where is the FBI? Do they intend to do anything?

[flying_wahini]

26. The grotesque whiny baby crying again.

So sick of him.

[keithbvadu2]

27. Another theory of the 'assassination' attempt?.

Another theory of the 'assassination' attempt?.

It was a false flag operation by Trump. Donald hired an expert marksman to make it look good.
A near-miss on Donald and kill some random supporter for effect.

He even hired a republican for the job.

It's just as valid as any other theory.
================================

First rule of assassination::: Kill the assassin.

That part was a sure thing.
