A spray of bullets may have only grazed Donald Trump in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, but they killed one rally attendee and critically wounded two others.

They have also torn through the 2024 presidential campaign, damaging the social and cultural fabric of the nation. The illusion of security and safety in American politics – built over decades - has

    If Joe “Cadaver” Biden didn’t loss yet, with this thing Donald “Martyr” Trump will win…

      A more conspiratorially minded person could come to the conclusion that Republicans were behind the whole assassination attempt, to make the Toupee appear strong and to turn the media’s attention back to them.

        I don’t think Trump would get a part of his ear ripped off voluntarily… his ego it’s bigger than the Eiffel tower.

        Trump is going to milk this so hard. It’s going to be an annoying 4+ months of hearing how he took a bullet for America and shit about “the left’s assassination attempt”.

        You could only hope that in the moment after he came to terms with the fact he is such a piece of human waste that someone almost blew his fucking brains out. That he’ll rethink his whole life.

        But he won’t, and now the fascist militias that back him are going to turn it up.

          The worst part honestly is that, supposedly, the gunman didn’t even hit him at all. I’ve been seeing reports that the bloody ear was apparently from glass shrapnel from the teleprompter.
