Oooops, I mean Satan….

He walked off the stage and got in the Beast not an ambulance.

...If someone actually took a shot they should be prosecuted. Prosecuted for lousy aim.

(this has Russian staged disinformation written ALL OVER IT....)

The last thing we need.

just ask George Wallace

Wallace had it worse and there was dancing in the street when it happened. Trump is no different.

?

hm

to look wounded

Now he can be head wound traitor

Just remembered there was a biblical prophecy that the had a head wound that was miraculously healed and the people marvel. Someone is amping up the religious crap.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beast_(Revelation)

He hasn't been in the headlines.
Sorry but he is a rather large target to miss.
I'll send thoughts and prayers.

Biden and Harris need extra security. They seem to do something like this and then really do it.

But then again, I wouldn't put ANYTHING past him, for the sake of getting more attention and dominating the headlines.

I expect he'll milk the dickens outta this. For sympathy, mainly.

From my experience (former USAF Military Police) it appears there is a hole in the top of his ear. My estimate a .22, and not 223 like an AR. An AR, even with civilian ammo, would have taken that ear off. Seem genuine wound. I hope no one in the crowd was hurt,

But there are some really powerful pellet guns out there, if it would kill a squirrel. It would leave a hole in an ear. I don’t know if it would go through someone’s head though.

Why would the secret service even allow this dude up off the ground until the threat was eliminated. There could be more than one shooter... looks like political theater.

Biden is winning, Thomas's Russian rendezvous is hot, epstein files with trump all over it hot, and people pissed he broke our Constitution. He wanted to become a Raygun martar. This needs heavy investigation, it stinks like trump.

Fist pump? A person in fear for his life, no matter if he is as stupid and demented as trump, huddles and crouches inside a circle of SS. He only puts up his fist when he knows he is safe and he is trying to make a point. The fist pump is very telling. I see posts where the shooter is dead. The shooter was hired, assured that trump would get him out of prison, and then betrayed. He is a loose end and mob folks like trump cannot leave loose ends. Just another patsy. Where have we seen this before?

They would have held him down FLAT for minutes or rushed his azzzz out of there at light speed. They stopped TWICE to let Trump pump his fist.

FAKE BS people!!!

As he raised his fist. What's he channeling Helter Skelter?

This needs to be investigated throughly.

Asking for a friend

I would think this is a PR stunt to grab headlines.

oh dear im gonna be glued to the news again!!

That said, I hope he's ok.

so he can be sentenced to Prison !

...so he can lose in November fair & square, & go back to the obscurity he so richly deserves.

Pretty soon they'll have a dossier on the shooter faster than Oswald.

This stinks...if it was a bullet that "grazed" him, it would have hit someone in that crowd. Let's just say I have my doubts.

I don't support violence of any kind, but 45* is such an accomplished showman and con artist that I wouldn't rule out this being staged.

Either the bullet grazed him or he's seriously injured. Just because he's fist bumping doesn't mean anything.

You can tell he "feels faint" as he is led off.

so seeing his

I was 13 and suddenly realized why cartoon characters "saw stars". Blood automatically rushes to your feet. (Actually it rushes to your heart, but it feels like it's rushing to your feet).

Heck even doctors and nurses deal with this. (I've had to catch myself while watching a C-sect) It's a weird reflex.

And everyone just standing around.

Somebody starts blazing away at a target surrounded by thousands of people and he only gets grazed and nobody behind or beside him gets hit.

Did the bullets just dissappear?

you'd think if someone was shooting at the person in front of you that you'd at least duck or start running.

That's terrible

Where did you read no one else was hit?

It was right after it happened, and no one had been reported as hit. It just seemed strange that he was grazed, and nobody behind him flinched, or appeared to have been hit.

Stages, and they will blame it on Biden

how did a gunman get in to get close to shoot?

Seriously. Didn’t sound like gum shots to me unless it was a very small caliber.

Come on! The guy is a reality tv producer. Don’t tell me he wouldn’t stage something like this to get sympathy.

They are also reporting the gunman has been killed by Secret Service officers, so we'll eventually know what kind of gun was used to shoot him.

RWers are saying 9mm sound. Not trustable.
Video of entering vehicle with fist raised showed top of left ear bright red around curve of top.

Some people at the top of the stand behind him were looking to their right, ie to our left as we see it from in front of the stage.

A Repub politician in the crowd says some people in the audience may have been hit:

Insanity later

I think there are metal detectors to get rid of any gun toters.

this could be the "big news to strike fear" ...

Link to tweet

By a tv game host. Attention-getting. But he did want to be sure there would be people there to witness it. All hell breaks loose? How, unless he means a shooter in the crowd shooting blanks while he has a squib in his hand to apply to his ear? First, I don't buy this. But second, if true, dammit, 4" to the right...

This is trump putting on a show. He will be back out at a hate rally tomorrow or the next day, because he knows there is no real danger.

and that a spectator was shot dead and another seriously wounded.

No doubt

Looked completely fake to me.

Would hear shots even from blanks they would be spooked.

The blood can be a prop. I would not put anything past this asshole. He reacted way too fast. And then he fist bumps????

Sure, sure. He’s a real tough guy, right?

The crowd wouldn’t know it was fake.

Trump is terrible but this “fake” shooting is whacky, crazy, and without any support. I can’t believe anyone on this website is pushing that story.

You think Trump is an honest person? That’s the part that’s nonsense.

Is completely different than wild conspiracy theories that he staged a shooting at his rally. The secret service didn’t seem to think it was staged, nor did the crowd. I don’t know who is or isn’t pushing this nonsense but it’s nonsense, and not worth discussing.

Do you honestly have any sympathy for Trump? Because if you do, then I would question why.

He is a complete bully and coward. If he were really in danger, he would have pissed his pants. He wouldn’t get up and fist bump to the crowd.

As to the blood, I’ve bled more than that from a mosquito bite.

So stop replying to me. Let me have my opinion and you have yours. Because it seems there are plenty on DU right now who feel the same way that I do, or are you only reading MY posts?

The idea that this was staged is nonsense. And embarrassed that anyone is taking it seriously. And if I’m wrong I’ll come back tomorrow and apologize

And you’ve continued to respond. That’s what I mean.

Now, go and have yourself a great evening. It was nice visiting with you.

And I do mean that sincerely. Its ok to disagree here sometimes

now that you two have made up. If a man is shot at during a (hate) rally, particularly supposedly from outside the rally locale, this man would be very wary of going back into an outdoor location for his rallies. Let's see how many days pass before Donny is back at the airport tarmac or the beach, or some other spot just like this one. If it was staged, as I believe it was, he has nothing to fear and he will be right back out in outside venues surrounded by trees or perhaps a book depository. Let's wait and see.

The next few days will be telling.

And since I’m wishing everyone a good evening, let me wish you on, too!

Do you honestly have any sympathy for Trump? Because if you do, then I would question why.

imagine it was for a second. The shooter will very very likely get caught and end up doing many years of prison time and would have to willingly do it for perhaps a sympathy bump for Trump. Whatever weapon was used was likely small with a short barrel and perhaps non metallic to be easily smuggled in. This would likely be hard to aim/target properly and would very much risk the life of the candidate the shooter would presumably be willing to risk his life for.

While there may be some 'false flag' events of someone holding up a rude sign in the background or something that the press would never investigate, has there ever been a confirmed false flag event with such risk and of such magnitude in all of recorded history?
