What a fucking moron.

I mean I don't like Trump either, but wishing for somebody's murder is gross.

At any rate, whoever did this likely just handed him the win, so what they really shot was themselves in the foot. As usual, violent extremism is counter-productive.

Agreed on your first part on wishing violence on anyone.  I don't think this hands the election to Trump though, Trumps loyal fanbase was always going to vote for him.  I don't think this is going to sway an undecided voter Trumps way.

Depends a little who it is, I've happily wished for Putin's murder before, on this forum too, Lol. But we're talking about the 21st century Hitler who is practically almost at war with Europe already so nobody from a legal standpoint would be at risk unless you live in Russia, Lol. Putin dying would be a net positive for the world too.

But in this case it won't be, it will backfire, it will cause retaliation from the already violent MAGA who have practically been drooling at the prospect of civil war for years now, it will likely hand Trump the victory which is a disaster for both America and Europe and it will result in more people being harmed and/or killed. There is no good outcome to this.

Lets not call for someone to murder Trump, especially since we are a UK/American based website. Lets be safe on what we say, it's one thing to hope the dude dies of natural causes and be relieved if that happens but a whole other thing to blatantly call for his murder, I don't like defending Trump but dem the rules and we're covering your ass as much as ours.

America is a "democracy" (for now), it ain't Russia, assassinations have no place there.

...And they wonder why Australians laugh at the lack of gun control in the USA... Despite Trump being surrounded by armed gunmen, clearly guns don't stop guns.

I think this will solidify Trump to be the next President, it's the kind of "drama" that Trump needs to rally people to his cause... Especially as the USA doesn't have mandatory voting, it may bring non-voters out to vote... So whilst Trump supporters will always vote Trump and Biden supporters will always vote Biden, it's the ones in the middle that will make the difference.

I am seeing people on the internet making fun of this, which is the wrong attitude, Trump is a corrupt pig, narcissist and liar, but to wish pain, death or suffering on another human being, regardless of how despicable they may be, is blatantly wrong.

Apparently it was glass fragments which hit him, not the bullet...Little better from the perspective of it helping his image but not by much.

Would say him saying "wait wait" to the Secret Service so he could fucking fist bump is incredibly selfish as he likely didn't know the danger was over and therefore putting the SS at risk buuuuut nobody is going to think that far, it's just going to be that image plastered everywhere.

This is like Brazil 2.0.

Bolsonaro got stabbed during campaigning and won the election, not sure if the stabbing exactly boosted his numbers to a significant degree (I wasn't following it) but I assume it did...

Then Bolsonaro was a disaster for Brazil.

Will have to be extremely sympathetic, look like a voice of reason and calmness.

Going to be a bit difficult for Democrats to attack Trump now on how he's about to destroy democracy with P25 but at the same time be sympathetic towards him.

Just how many American Presidents/Former Presidents have been shot at now?

You got to chill with them guns maybe.

Shooter was outside the venue and crawling on the roof.
