If will certainly help quiet down the stories about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. |  |

Very unlikely. Espeically with one killed and several injured in the crowd - plus the shooter also being dead. |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 01:19 - Jul 14 with 2430 views | reusersfreekicks | The madness of guns in America summed up by a Trump supporter being interviewed on bbc - without the freedom to carry guns you are not free!! He also said some pretty mixed up stuff re freedoms in the country and preserving them whilst attending a rally for someone who is the biggest threat to American democracy for years. Seems many people voting for Trump have no idea what or who they are voting for. Really worrying |  | |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 00:19 - Jul 14 by baxterbasics | Assuming it’s all legit, and not blanks (he may have burst a blood pellet when putting his hand to his ear?) then that bullet was a centimetre away from killing him. You’d be a bit ticked off at yourself if you were the gunman wouldn’t you? |
Possibly not quite so near a miss: |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 23:50 - Jul 13 by baxterbasics | Not clear if he was hit himself or if it’s someone else’s blood. But apparently he is fine, am sure everyone is glad to know. |
Have to assume his bodyguards are super-massive fans geting paid $squillions, as in such situations they're apparently required to tell him to get down, or throw him on the ground if he doesn't respond, then lie on top to take the bullets for him. I mean, can you imagine ... ^shudder^ |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 02:24 - Jul 14 with 2278 views | Mercian | I despise Trump but I did like his show of defiance. An old man injured in an assassination attempt stands up as quickly as he could and pumps his fist in the air. I know what it is like to be shot at and it is an incredibly frightening experience even for a 24 year old Lance Corporal in The British Army with 5 years service. That took balls. |  | |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 00:13 - Jul 14 by Mercian | It looks to me that he was grazed by a bullet but not hit directly. He immediately put his hand to his neck and was bleeding. |

Yes. If he was hit directly it would have killed him. |  | |  |

I guess Jan 6th 2021 didn’t exist that year then. To think, the USA is co-hosting the World Cup in two years. |  | |  |

Their was one Republican senator on the BBC who blamed it among other things on, wait for it, Universal Healthcare. Not on the fact that there are more guns legally owned than there are people, never that but on the fact that people can see a doctor without paying $250 just for the appointment. Damn you Universal Healthcare you violent piece of crap. [Post edited 14 Jul 2024 5:37]

This kind of rings back to what they were saying in commons about improving the kind of language they used. Scary times, but when you play with fire you risk getting burned. |  |

As a former President and a current Presidential candidate, his will be guarded by the CIA. |  |

Donald trump just got shot on the news! on 07:25 - Jul 14 with 1898 views | MidlandBlue25 | The state of this forum, a bunch of authoritarians spreading fake news and wishing death on a political candidate with a different opinion to them. Democracy is dying in the west |  | |  |

Incorrect. Condone meaning accept a reprehensible behaviour, to which I don't. Am I surprised about this outcome when someone has built up a campaign that divides? No, and that's 100% what the last line suggests. |  |

No he didn't and no-one on this "authoritarian forum" has wished for the death of a political opponent. Nor did anyone spread fake news. There was speculation about what might have happened but that is not the same as spreading fake news. |  | |  |

It'll be the Secret Service, but you're right in that they are government agents and not on Trump's payroll. |  | |  |

The Labour Party would be in trouble then according to you given they’ve spent the last 10 years demonising the white working class. Doesn’t excuse killing though. |  | |  |

Speculation that it was fake whilst someone was losing their life on the floor. Classy as always [Post edited 14 Jul 2024 7:52]

I don't think it is right to piggy back on this turn of events to promote one's own political colours. My hope is that political discourse improves, and it needs to. Internationally and domestically. That is what my OP is getting at. |  |
