so you are saying Joe got shot at during the debate?
Election is still a full four months away. That's a very long time in politics - it's not as if it's next Tuesday or something.
Nothing good about attacks on politicians/ hopeful politicians.
Getting more frequent unfortunately.
Will only help his presidential bid.
Not that bit, but when he was being moved to the car.
On CNN, David Urban spoke to Dave McCormick who said someone behind Trump was shot in the head.
And the liberal lovies call Maga a cult
They were on top of Trump 2 secs after the sound of the shots, not sure how they could possibly react any quicker.
Whatever it was/is, his base are heavily armed and not the smartest
Funny, I was just thinking the other day that something like this had a high chance of happening as the election gets into full swing. And it was while I was watching one of his rallies.
The Secret Service looked like they were practically carrying him off the stage and he wasn't able to walk unaided.
It would be hilarious and ironic in equal measure if the Trump supporters were flooded with “it was a publicity stunt to gain support”, “paid crisis actors” etc. They’d have a mental breakdown being in a position of trying to claim something WASN’T a big ol’ conspiracy…
That's all I expect from the likes of you
..
Yeah that's why I asked manic, it definitely changes the calculus of the election for sure.
This will rile up the base and may sway more of them to come out and vote, and also those undecided voters may just swing his way now, especially with the debacle of Biden at the moment.
Absolutely certain he now beats Biden in November. We're watching the end of the American Empire. What a time to be alive.
smiling from ear to bloody ear
Very lucky man Trump. Lots of questions now as to how security was breached. Speedy recovery to the guy.
Anyone surprised at the reaction of the secret service? Feels like if there was any deliberate attempt or follow up they wouldn't have been able to stop it...
We need to test out Joe's reactions at his next speech.
MAGA cult are about to go wild.I wonder will we see civil unrest as a result.
This should swing the election result in his favour if he doesn't get shot at again.
going to be an interesting night in USSS headquarters wondering where they went wrong.
Ah WTF, what is wrong with you man. We all hate different politicians but smiling cause someone was shot? That's just sick.
Sounded like a BB gun, but when your accustomed to hollywood gunshots and explosions, I'd say we should revert to Manic Moran's experience above!
Thoughts and prayers I guess
Some are saying it sounded like an air gun?
Well. This is interesting. Should I be smiling or that wrong?
Getting shot at is a good indicator of a person’s makeup as it’s impossible to know how you will react until it happens. (Yes, I’ve been shot at). Make of him what you will, but he was on the ground before the Secret Service could tackle him, and having the presence of mind to put the fist in the air / gesture of defiance on the way out is going to do him well.
I’m curious as to where all the bullets went. If you listen to the audio, it seems there were quite a few shots, even assuming some of those were police going back the other way. Waiting for reports of other injuries.

Whatever your opinion on him, Biden, etc **** scum to try and do that
I wouldn't go that far - he is still hated by a large swathe of the population….I doubt it would make any of them any more likely to vote for him.
