No, he was walking. The USSS were all but hugging him from all over s as a human shield. It's kindof hard to walk when you've got people pressing against you from all sides.
Shooter is dead accoring to reports.
Do you think the guy who is facing over 90 indictments, looking over 70 years in prison, over half a billion in court fines who's just been shot, is the dictator?
edit; seems someone was injured
The Republicans already weaponising this incident.
The Republicans are already blaming Biden.
Sounded like 3 shots initially. Then a flurry of shots from other guns. Then a few seconds later one final shot.
My bet is the shooter got off 3 shots before the secret service and police responded and they didn't miss.
Yea, I agree that this would probably have more effect if it was closer to the election.
I still think it could make the difference. You can bet your bottom dollar that he will be using this incident along with the court cases against him right the way up to election day to show how they tried to take him down first through the courts then they tried to assassinate him. This will be milked all the way..
Sceptic, fullstop
Why does this feel like a false flag attack to me with Trump cutting his own ear or fake blood……. something smells off with this, in a way to drive an agenda.
He seemed to recover remarkably quickly for a man that was shot at the side of the face. I'm not saying that this is the case, but i honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was staged!
You sound unhinged to be honest.
just bidening his time
The diseased minds of this forum are certainly well represented tonight.
Which is why we always value your insight. I remember being in Universal and in some Terminator show they were firing blanks, sounded very fake compared to what Hollywood has thought us!
The shooter is down, according to the police/secret service, so it shouldn't be long to find out about another nutter with a gun!
That picture of him fist pumping and with a bloody ear is worth another 10% or more in the polls. He'll run away with the election after this.
I was gonna say I'm not much of a firearms expert but that didn't sound like a BB or airsoft. Had the report of a handgun?
And too fast to be a sniper rifle?
Burning of the Reichstag anyone?
Classy.
I don't know how they are going to protect him at future rally's as I'm sure there are a lot more deranged Trump haters out there
Btw That's a great photo
And everyone else.
You wouldn't want to be living in stable democratic countries next to China or Russia if they didn't have the US at their back.
I saw it. There was pops/shots. He winced and grabbed his ear. Then he ducked down and the secret service jumped on him.
I think it was a BB. Nobody gets shot in the ear without their head moving.
Things could well kick off alright.
The Republican on Sky news is saying that Biden can't beat Trump & claiming that Biden said that Trump had to be put in the bulls eye.
Well when you have people calling him a Natzi etc I think that's only fair.
For example

Not a large calibre round anyway
Ah yes, personal attacks rather than debating my opinion…….
What's great about it? It was an assassination attempt. Mental.
There was a legit shooter alright by the looks of it. They're reported to be dead.
Whooosh.
The guy I responded to said trump couldn’t walk unaided from the stage. At the debate Joe needed assistance down the one step afterwards….
