No Fs Given

I don't know if this proves how purely insane Donald J Trump is or how little he gives a flying F about the people trying to off him.

But I do know that he is just fanning the flames at this point in his re-election campaign.

On Saturday October 5th, 2024, Donald J Trump will return to Butler, PA, to the site of his first assassination attempt, to speak at the Butler Farm show fairgrounds.


Say what you will about Trump but I bet dollars to donuts that nobody else would even think about pulling a stunt like this.


My only concern for this event is what will security look like? Will the USSS give him more people to cover the shortfalls that were seen last time? Or, will Trump hire private security to work alongside his security detail to eliminate any potential threat before they have the chance to "take another shot" at his life.


I'm sure he understands the risk he is taking here, but it is a calculated one in his mind.


I guess we shall see what unfolds as things plate out here in the next 24-48 hours.

At least all the Trump haters can relax knowing all the politically violent
crazy ass shooters are on their side. How many more are they gonna have
to go thru. And at what point do they give up on the old Oswald expose'?

Pretty soon they gotta run out of patsies.

There's bullet proof glass.

The practice of using bulletproof glass for outdoor events is typically reserved for sitting presidents, but the Secret Service made an exception following the assassination attempt on Trump's life, according to law enforcement officials.

Trump will continue to be surrounded by glass at his outdoor rallies for the remainder of the election cycle.

I expect that the rally will be much like the North Carolina one.

Trump took the stage with bulletproof glass in front and behind him, and mobile storage units and large trucks were brought in to block any views of the rally from potential vantage points outside of the immediate security perimeter. There was a heavy law enforcement presence, enveloping the venue with multiple snipers placed on rooftops near where the former president spoke on Wednesday.

Per two federal law enforcement officials, the rally had a series of Secret Service assets – counter-sniper teams, drone deployment, counter UAS or counter drone technology, plus advance countersurveillance teams. Advance teams walked the rally site a week ago, a type of robust walkthrough that did not happen before July 13.

I'm sure they have a nice stock pile of names to pull from.

One would think so

a reply to: FullHeathen

Let's hope so.

To be fair, there were supposed to be more precautions taken back in July that were not taken so we shall see how serious they are at this event.

Elon Musk says he'll be there with Trump too.

The best part is he is doing it outside again, in the same place he was shot. How anyone cannot see he is there for the people is beyond me.

It is not a cult. I do not idolize him. However, he has balls the size of King Kong to do this.

I am sure Musk will bring his full security team.

You never know how many deranged Liberals would want to take both Trump and Musk out.

Those that have such a deep set hatred for Trump will always find a way to put a negative spin on anything and everything he says and does.

a reply to: CarlLaFong

Maybe Musk will bring some robot security to help out the USSS

I've heard it many times but could never figure out where the saying "dollars for donuts" came from.

a reply to: PorkChop96

You should be delighted that he's willing to take unnecessary risks. Maybe this time he'll smile for the camera.

a reply to: TzarChasm

As long as there are cameras around, you can be sure Trump will be smiling for the flash

a reply to: PorkChop96

Except for that one time. You know, in jail. Somehow he misplaced his photogenic dazzle that day, really stares into your soul like Rick Grimes in the walking dead.

Back when donuts were very cheap. I remember $.05 donuts in the '60s. That's a 20:1 odds bet.

The idea behind the shorthand phrase dollars to doughnuts is the sentiment that the speaker is so confident that he is right about something, he will put forth his dollars against the listener’s doughnuts in a wager, the dollars having much higher value than the doughnuts.

Fair play, I wouldnt vote for him, he's a bit thick, way too thin skinned and a bit nuts.

Funny how the peace and love side are all out to kill the bloke though. Guess I am too hard to please to live in the US and vote, they're all worthless in my opinion.

Politics is no better over here, they just hide their inner freak a bit easier on this side of the pond, like Kier Starmer and his super injunction.
