Assassination Attempt at Trump Campaign Rally

[Magical Realist]

Yeah...there are so many reasons for a bullied 20 yr old loner to kill innocent people that a local Trump rally literally becomes just a crime of opportunity.

The Trumper conspiracy machine is in max overdrive now.

Wow, that article covered a lot of it. Thanks, MR and CC.

From the article…

"Pro-Trump message boards were also celebrating Trump’s survival and lionizing the image of Trump surrounded by his Secret Service agents with a fist raised to the crowd."

Nothing wrong with that. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

A little off topic, but I need help debunking this because my family wants me to give in to our Lord and Savior. It’s a prophet that predicted this 3 months ago. I checked with ChatGPT to see if someone can alter the date of the YouTube video posted to make it look older than it is…you can’t.

What should I say? "Even a broken clock is right twice a day."

Just the subconscious putting two and two together. Sometimes the pattern recognition capabilities of the mind align with how things actually turn out. I'm betting this one detail about the bullet wound to the ear is the only specific "prophecy" that holds up. Everything else predicted about Trump and the election just follows logically from an assassination attempt.

“Joe Biden sent the orders,” Representative Mike Collins of Georgia wrote on X in reference to a recent call Biden held with donors, when he reportedly said, “It’s time to put Trump in a bull’s-eye.” The representative’s post has been viewed 5.7 million times according to the platform’s own metrics.

Meanwhile, Sean Davis, the founder of the right-wing website The Federalist, claimed the shooting was part of a Democrat-led plot to take Trump out. “They knew Biden couldn’t win so they incited one of their toadies to try and take out his opponent.”

Biden literally said that, but you'd need more evidence to convince me of a conspiracy. Looks more opportunistic.

It's odd that MR apparently has plenty of skepticism for this kind of thing but absolutely none for wackier stuff.

Interesting fact: All US president assassinations and attempts have been make by leftists. Aside from JFK, they've all be Republican persidents, and JFK was assassinated by an avowed communist.
So historically, the left has perpetrated the vast majority of political violence, including eco-terrorism, BLM, KKK, etc..

It's an extraordinary photograph that kind of encapsulates the spirit of Trump the man, along with how his supporters (including me) would like to imagine his people's movement. That photograph is likely to become the icon of his campaign.

Expect to see a *lot* of it at the Republican National Convention that starts tomorrow in Milwaukee, and in the subsequent Presidential campaign up to November and beyond.

Gosh ,never realized what a heroic rapist and a criminal he was.

Didn’t know about this until this afternoon. Entertaining grandkids.

Too bad someone had to die. Sounds like poor security. Judging by the sentiment, if the bullet had killed him then Trump might have been first president voted in posthumously and still be no worse than an incumbent dead man walking JB.

Love the Iwo Jima comparison to the Trump pic. Can’t see Dems wiggling out of this one no matter what they try. Conspiracy to hide Porn star payment vs implied conspiracy to (attempted) murder a presidential candidate. Wow, Dems just got some karma.

Sounds like someone who knows better than to express how they really feel.
Better a little passive aggressive snark than anything that could definitely identify you as evil.

You have to take into consideration that the shooter was one of the disenfranchised youth, who likely took offence not just with Trump but the whole system. (Possibly fed up with "Old people" making decisions for them.)

It means if it had been a Biden rally in Butler, they might of attempted to shoot Biden instead.

It suggests that the narratives of both sides basically fuelled that someone would attempt something to someone at some point. (It's already had other occurances of stirring up trouble like the Nancy Pelosi attacker and of course the Capital Hill Mob)

I don't think there is any conspiracy that the democrat attempted to assassinate Trump. For one an attempt will make him insufferable, and actual success would just drag out the problems further generating a greater and nastier divide between the political parties, which will just fuel further problems in the further. (So a dumb idea either way)

Deleted.Forgot I was ignoring you.

Curve ball from SS with the prophecy. Might as likely come from below as above.
