It's a conspiracy theory that Trump got shot. I know that because CNN reported that what happened was that there were some loud noises that caused Trump to fall down. It must have been that sissy Trump was scared by the loud noises, and when he fell, he banged his ear on the stage structure, and a sticking out bolt from its incorrect assembly went through his jacket. CNN is a trusted source, so they can't be wrong. It serves him right. If he had been brave and ignored the noises, like Biden would have, he wouldn't need to buy a new suit.

Anyway, Trump was surrounded by the best agents that diversity, equity and inclusion could provide. There's no way that they'd let an assassin anywhere near.

From reading posts from ex USSS employees, ex Presidents and Presidential nominees get less security than current presidents.

There are 3 zones
1) Near
2) Intermediate
3) Far

For ex presidents and presidential nominees USSS cover 1) and 3) (by snipers). 2) is covered by local police which has led to some "near miss" incidents where USSS have mistaken armed local police for hostile snipers.

is that so? I was looking for an FSB agent in the crowd behind Trump.

When they're in the crowd, they concentrate on the equity and inclusion rather than the diversity, so they're difficult to spot; however, the rainbow flag often gets them. They can't resist wearing one.

That was before DEI. It's obviously much better now because they have more and better agents to choose from.

If you watch that footage of the shooting carefully, and turn your sound right up, you can hear a voice when Trump is hit. I listened to it carefully several times. I am sure it said.

"Donald - Duck!"

And he did.



My only excuse for this piece of execrable bad taste is to say if you don't laugh, you'd end up pretty depressed. This was a hideous act, not only directed against Trump, but also done with absolutely reckless disdain for the many people around him and behind him. Firing into a crowd like that is so heinous as to defy any kind of logic. That shooter was a deranged maniac.

On the other hand, a certain sort of American military operative, has been doing exactly that all over the Middle East for a while, so perhaps the disdain for human life in general has come home to roost. A generation brought up to think that so called 'collateral damage' excuses all acts of reckless madness in pursuit of a 'mission', probably thinks the society at large condones such attendant casualties caused in trying to achieve a political goal.

The moron who did this perhaps thought he would stop Trump's campaign. In fact, he just guaranteed that Trump will win in November. The picture of the bloodied Trump, dishevelled ,and angry, and holding his fist in the air, an American flag behind him, contrasted with the senile, shambling, inarticulate offering on the other side, means they might as well abandon the election and just declare Trump the winner right now.



How can a great nation of well over 320 million, have two such candidates for the most important office in government? Only a corrupted system could result in that. Oligarchies are picking these candidates to put before the people. Biden is patently fit only to be admitted to a care home, and Trump is narcissistic immoral liar, with dictatorial tendencies. There are probably 5000 better candidates in every large American city. The People are not served well by modern American politics. It was a wonderful system when it was invented. Now? Not so much.

"Fascist movements are secular religions. Like all religions, they offer martyrs as their proof of truth. The Mussolini movement in Italy built imposing monuments to its fallen comrades. The Trump movement now improves on that: The leader himself will be the martyr in chief, his own blood the basis for his bid for power and vengeance."

A few things don't seem right to me. Why that guy wants to kill Trump? Why his social profiles were all wiped out? Did he do that himself? He was spotted by a lot of people and some even took video and yet, no video showing smoke from his rooftop. Why the security of that building was given to the local police?
Could the guy have been set up?

"By comparison, the “natural change” in the population – the difference between births and deaths – was only 400 in the year to mid-2023 – the lowest figure since the year to mid-1978."

Biggest population increase in 75 years in England and Wales, figures suggest

The growth was primarily made up of the more than one million people who were estimated to have migrated to England and Wales from outside the UK.

Strange that the USA has something in common with places like Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.... Lunatics trying to murder political figures and killing and maiming ordinary people in the process.

The witness, who reported him to the police, were watching him all the time. They would have seen him do the shooting. If the pops came from somewhere else, they would have said!

He was a bit of a weirdo, bullied at school for being a misfit and radicalised by CNN, CNBC, ABC, BBC and all the others, who say that Trump is another Hitler, he's a threat to democracy and he needs to be stopped. They've been running with that for years. It wouldn't surprise me if he had been on some anti-Trump news group, where he had a bit of grooming or encouragement from deep state operatives.

That's what happened to the group that were supposed to be kidnaping Gretchen Witmer, except it turned out that they were nearly all agents masquerading as haters, and they ended up grooming each other. 8 out of the gang of 13 were agents. The remaining 5 were mainly people of low IQ and social misfits, who had been persuaded to go along for the ride. That was very funny, except that it was serious.

Interestingly, it seems the guy used to like Trump, but more recently turned into a hater.
