      The part that gives me the most thought about it being planned was his response, he gets up and raises his fist? His security doesn’t hold his head below cover and he just chills on stage for the photo op? If he was unexpectedly shot you’d think he would just be crying and shidding himself, maybe they are just poorly trained

      Edit: In case anyone is reading this later it was definitely not likely to have been staged.

            That would have been worse tbh, every single Republican afterward would be even more openly fash, whereas this at least might fade in the background

        Looks like another John Hinkley jr shooter who can’t aim. Trump is unharmed and doing a fist pump with a bit of blood on his face is a major PR win for Trump.

        Why? No one else has the sauce like he does. And chuds are gonna chud out for the rest of our lifetimes anyway. Him dying wouldn’t be that different than him losing except libs have to roll back their blue maga shit and return to civility fetishism.

        Apparently one of the bullets hit his teleprompter, which shot a shard of glass in his face

          Only the liberal driller, master of all types of firearm combat, could stop Trump, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

    I had a nap and when I woke up I had no idea what going on. I was on Bluesky and on my main feeds filter out Biden | Kamala | Project 2025 | Trump

    There were posts like this.

    Welp here we go…

    And somebody else posted…

    The moron early-warning system is going off.

    [Scott Adams tweet screengrab] This is on Biden

    “What the ever loving fuck” - I said to myself. I should have simply clicked on my “Politics” feed which is only Biden | Kamala | Project 2025 | Trump but I’m always very sleepy when I wake up. So I came to Hexbear and that’s then I learned what happened when I saw “LOL he got shot LMAOOOO”. Sweet mother of god.
