Donald Trump the Megathread part II

Reaction from some people has been pathetic.

You had people on social media (and this thread) saying I can't feel sympathy for someone like him dying because I don't agree with his views.

The kind and tolerant left have really shown themselves up over this.

Good question.

Maybe it's an attempt to avoid getting on Trump's bad side?

Dwayne Johnson weighed in....to promote his latest film. What a dick.

More than an influencer. Very strong ties to the Trump Administration - good friends with JD Vance and Trump Jr, as well as having a direct line to Trump himself. He was an insider/influencer and not a more independent influencer like Shapiro.

I think every political leader will have to recognise this because it's going to have an enormous impact on US politics, which in turn has an effect on the rest of us.

Can't have a go at a dead man i know the next best thing let's go after his kids. Discusting his kids are under 4 they have no idea what any of that stuff means as another poster said there priorities were food time nap time, play time and favourite cartoon time.

Did I disagree vehemently with Charlie Kirk yes 100% but I can also call out a growing trend of people been attacked for there position on politics. Happening here too

You've just proved my point.

Thank You for that.

How so? These are quotes from the man himself.

I agree with you up to the last line. Its not just the left that can be intolerant so can the right remember the reaction by some on the right to Paul Pelosi attack. But hey all are human and you will find intolerant people in all camps

He was discovered by Trump jnr apparently about 10 years ago - he’s spent his time in Universities giving talks to students about the MAGA way and apparently was instrumental in converting students into MAGA supporters in certain swing states in the last election -maybe not single handily got Trump elected, but a hell of a lot of credit is due to him in certain swing states. He’s very close to the Trump family apparently - hence a lot more than just an “influencer” - his name is now martyr status in MAGA circles and I imagine even more young people will flock to the cool aid.

As to Kier Starmer’s reaction? I’m assuming this is just another opportunity to give Trump fellatio

Immediately before the shooting, Mr Kirk was taking questions from an audience member about mass shootings and gun violence.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” the person asked.

Mr Kirk responded: “Too many.”

The questioner followed up: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”

“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Mr Kirk asked.

Then a single shot rang out.

Jaysus. Sounds like the scripted ending for a movie.

I'd imagine there was always an element of nerves around this. I'm amazed Robbie Roadsteamer hasn't been shot yet, he's definitely going to be nervy after this but I don't see him stopping.

It is. I checked.

But he wasn't an elected official or person of note who contributed anything to humanity or the arts, etc.

The Prime Minister should not be paying tributes to him like he was, nor should any other world leader.

It's bizarre.
