Assassination attempt on Trump. Anyone surprised?

If you consider news aggregations sites as MSM media then the name was indeed being reported in the MSM media.   There was even a possible screenshot of the person posting about shooting Trump.  Again it was early and not confirmed. And I did not claim it was confirmed just that the name was being talked about on media sites.  
This is a social site and we are allowed to ask question and discuss them...that is kind of the point here. And we are allowed to discuss even unapproved (confirmed) thoughts,  as long as we follow the TOS.   IF we were not allowed to post anything but confirmed information there would not be much content here aside from the very trivial stuff.

Forgive me, but I can't help but think that those who post here also post elsewhere and if these folks are sharing unconfirmed reports on here they're doing it elsewhere and those folks post it over again somewhere else and that's how misinformation gains a life of its own whether true or not.

Some may and some do not. I personally do not post anywhere else.  

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Goyim Defense League founder and leader Jon Minadeo hosted a Spaces on X titled “JEWS TRY TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP!”

There are idiots on both sides (obviously someone just shot Trump,  there was also a shooting of Republicans playing baseball a few years back...).  But most are telling people to stay calm and not let your anger cause you to do something stupid and to be on the lookout for others who may try to instigate and cause more violence.  

The person that should be telling people to stay calm and not let their anger make them do something stupid is Donald J Trump. But he won’t instead he will tell them things that will make them boil over with anger.

Maybe not, maybe he's on painkillers, or maybe it's a tactic to change his image to get votes or protect his physical safety, or maybe this changed him. We shall see.

I would be willing to bet that any change will be temporary.  His speeches will now play up his victimhood even more.  He will take no responsibility for anything he's said in the past to encourage this violent behavior in his base.  

He escaped death because God has chosen him to lead the American people back to righteousness. That sound about right.

Um, yes - that's probably what his evangelicals want to hear.  

Have any of the Dems taken responsibility for their past speak that encouraged violence to their base?

Surely you aren't comparing what Trump has said to anything the Dems have said.

You are right they are not comparable....the Dem politicians, media and celebrities have said much worse than Trump. This post was edited by my2cents at July 15, 2024 11:46 AM MDT

Know what that's called?  Selective hearing.

Oh, something we agree on....sort of. 

Only because they tell the truth. Trump lies.

When did Trump threaten anyone? 

Direct people to threaten others by making group and let them know they are not welcome?  Tell people they thought about blowing up the White House? Tell people to take to the streets?  That there is not peace and there should not be?  Say they would like to punch someone?  Say he would like to take someone behind the gym at school and beat him?  Ask when was the last time an actor shot a President?  Tell a sitting SCOTUS you will answer for this? Tell you
"leftists" (Trumpers) you have been warned?  When they go low, we kick them? Showed a video faking a assassination? Said I would take him out tonight?  etc

But sure Trump was worse...

Not going to take the bait. 

Just say the Dems/leftist media and celebrities did everything I listed then....

The only one Trump threatened was to deport illegals and send criminals to jail....

Save yourself the agita.

Maybe the near death experience helped him find Jesus and he is going to start volunteering at soup kitchens. But I doubt it – I think his idea of re writing the speech was adding some descriptive words when he talked about Biden and the democrats – words like murderous or assassins. I also think Trump’s idea of uniting the country is to bring everybody over to the dark side. Cheers!

We will see what we are told at the RNC this week but no we have not been told anything to boil over our anger. We have seen him thank the SS and Law Enforcement, thanks the nation for their prayers, offer support for the other victims of the shooting, and calls for unity..... 

We will see if the Dems tone down their rhetoric or not (I will be surprised if they do) and from some posts I have seen on some sites I doubt it.
