Another attempt on Trump?

What if the gunman is an Iranian operative looking to collect the reward??

If he's an illegal alien then he needs to vote quickly before testifying.

FBI calling it "attempted assassination" now

Suspect in custody.

Will be interesting to learn what, if any, his motivation was.


Will he cop to trying to off Trump? (Great publicity for Trump! )

Will he claim he was shooting at someone else out on the street? (Bit of egg on face for those who claimed a second "assassination attempt")

Will he claim it was a PR stunt promoted by the Trump campaign; or the Harris campaign? (Bombshell ender for the guilty campaign)



Will he die, mysteriously, while in police custody? (Odds?)

Been following this thread since it first appeared, news reports just hitting my Homestead now....not sure of what's going on but will keep abreast of updates as they come in.

This is concerning on multiple levels.

I can't even crack a joke right now.

Looking for the knowledge of this community.

Has anything like this ever happened before? Two assasination attempts on a person running for president?

According to CNN; several Shots were fired in the direction of Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, with Secret Service Agents having returned Fire in the direction of where the Shots occurred from as the Suspect fled the Area in a Vehicle. Witnesses provided an Accurate Description of both the Suspect and Vehicle, which were then stopped by Local Law Enforcement, who discovered a Semi-Automatic Rifle, Backpack, and Go-Pro Camera.

So, the suspect threw one 'assault' rifle in the bushes and took the other with him???

I'm just glad there were no deaths or injuries to anyone and the asshole was caught.

Not to my memory, but as a caveat, there might have been numerous ones that we've never known about.

"If you can not vote for yourself a vote will be provided for you."

That's one of many things that are not adding up.

Supposed to be a presser soon so at least we should have a clearer "on the record" handle of the details.

RPT: Suspect pushed his rifle muzzle through the fence.

What I learned in HS history, was due to a Native American Curse Presidents elected in a 0 year (1960, 1980 etc) were targets of assassination.
It is widely thought the curse may have been broken with Reagan's survival. But it is unknown.

I've always appreciated the story.

Lends credence Trump was actually the winner in 2020.

And Biden has been "Character Ass-ass-inated" 😀

Suspect had a GO PRO and 2 backpacks with ceramic tiles hung on fence to act as a shield for him.

He had ceramic tiles in one backpack.

Unless he was installing a floor, those were likely for protection.

During a campaign no, only George Wallace comes to mind and he supposedly had numerous threats but only one known attempt

Ford had a couple of attempts within a few months,

No question now.

Definitely an assassination attempt.

The shots were at the guy that got within 200 yards of Trump with an AK-47, he ditched his gun and ran to be caught monuments later.

What some people won't do to get a movie made after them eh. 😬
