Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 06/06/25

You mean... trump could be lying???

*Shocked face*

Why would it matter if he was hit by a bullet or a bit of glass?

The shooter was aiming to kill him.Isn't that enough?

Who would stage a shooting with oneself as the centrepiece?For Trump to be lying now just tells us that he is well and acting normally (lies are in the air he breathes and the gases he exudes or expels)

I would love it to be staged but I can't see any point to it or any practical way it could be done.(it was my first reaction ,how could they miss and be so close? But I quickly changed my mind and it was as genuine as anything can be with Trump)

Has anyone asked Pen and Teller?

The expert in rape weighs in....

(Ps - disgusting ****ing racist)

We know he is a lying pos.But even a lying pos can be at the receiving end of a genuine attempt on his life .

True his reaction looks bizarre but I would have to be persuaded that the event as a whole was staged.

That seems impossibly unlikely.

The story now seems to be that the law enforcement who might have seen him had left their posts and gone out looking for the shooter.

His now completely healed ear is a mystery in itself.It is one thing for a bullet to miss his head and hit an ear but another to just graze the ear .

Bizarre all over:-)

"That seems impossibly unlikely"

Do you want me to list the amount of such things since 2015 involving this guy?

I'm not saying it's staged either. I am saying that we have zero details about his condition after the event. Zero. After an assassination attempt. No official record.

As I said, I think the phrase of taking a bullet for the country is a huge ****ing statement to make. I'm saying that it's not unreasonable to ask for proof, especially when the guy is a notorious liar. And it is not unreasonable to ask for details, especially from a guy who demanded the long form birth certificate of Obama, or medical records from Biden, and who is known for lying about his own medical health.

I think if there were records saying he was shot, trump would have released them by now, even in redacted form .

Anyway, I'll leave it there.

With the paperwork to prove it.

It's months yet to go to the actual elections and things are getting worse in respect to what happens to people who favour one candidate over the other. A 22 year old man in Hancock, Michigan, tore down Trump signs on an 80 year old man's lawn & when the elderly gent went to put them back up, the younger man drove over him with an SUV. He also damaged the windows and tyres of 2 cars then went home, called the police, told them what he had done, gave them his address and asked them to pick him up. When they arrived, they found him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

mental illness clearly played the role in that one. Killing spree suicide special.

2024 update - things are different now. Kamala Harris is the other contender for the presidency against Trump. She lies, she's not nice, she's dangerous. Just wait for the debate…. if he has the courage for it. Edit: If the debate goes ahead, there'll be enough security around with both debaters to keep civil disorder from breaking out.

The biggest challenge is getting him to refer to his opponent rather than ranting about how mean Biden is.

She started pretty well in 2019 till that debate with Biden, people completely turned off her. I think theres a big risk of that happening again especially when immigration is mentioned as she's been fairly anonymous for the last 4 years

Its one extreme or the other.

If unlikely they will compete for Presidency they are sent out as attack dogs, like Spiro Agnew or Dick Cheney.

Otherwise dont rock the boat, dont outshine the Prez and dont ruffle feathers that could cost you your own shot at the Presidency.

Were that to happen, I cant imagine much better happening to assist Harris's campaign except Trump having a blazing break-up row with Vance. He's been going on about the way Biden has been replaced by Harris, how it has affected his campaign, making complaints about the switch having costs his campaign money.

If he goes after them on a cost-cutting exercise while ignoring their campaign advice, a walkout could happen which would lead to him relying on his family even more or bringing in another agency 5 months from the electoral vote date. They don't grow on trees. That'd get another "YIPPEE" from the Dems/Harris campaign.

So Tea Party: Act II.
