Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

      Some? They anyone with a functional brain that has been paying attention. Nothing the dude has ever done has been honest.

      That’s called a false flag attack. I could believe it, but I could also believe it was a sincere attack.

        Being serious about it for a moment, it’s extremely unlikely that it’s a false flag attack. It’s fun to joke about the idea, but the reality is that it doesn’t appear to be staged, and he’s far too much of a coward to agree to have somebody shoot at him.

        Besides that, there’s plenty of politically-unaffiliated groups or individuals who would probably want him gone just for how his last term contributed to the abortion bans, reunification of church and state (in some states), government corruption, etc.

          Would he be told about this plan? It’d certainly be more convincing if he didn’t know, and was set up by the RNC.

          there’s also plenty of fence sitters and centrists who I sincerely believe would vote for him on tough guy vibes alone, despite him being a coward

          No one needs to actually shoot at him, he can just have a capsule of fake blood in his hand and smear it on himself at the right moment. It’s so easy even he can do it.

          Could also have been a real shooter.

          Hes fully too much of a coward to be shot at.

          But you’re assuming he was shot at. Ducked, hidden away from camera, then blood on him.

          No one is ducking a bullet

      From the article:

      Trump stood up and held his fist in the air with what appeared to be blood dripping down his face.

      Several secret service agents surrounded him as he put his hand up and appeared to shout “fight” to his supporters who began cheering.

      An excellent PR stunt and call to action for his violent insurrectionist supporters, if you ask me.

      Right after meeting with Orban who just met with Putin? I don’t know if I really think that, but I would say it’s possible.
