Sometimes I wonder if this is all a setup. Sadly.
It absolutely is. Both times they were his own voters. Not some communist immigrant transgender drag queen.
Not to mention, the temporal proximity of this “assassination attempt” to the Roberts SCOTUS leak is, shall we say… suspicious.
I am thinking same as @Zerlyna@lemmy.world. The first time was a wackadoodle that voted Donald. This time it stinks of desperate and paid. IMO by someone from Donald’s campaign as they couldn’t capitalize on the first attempt.
Here’s what I find especially odd. Trump’s trip to the golf course was apparently “unplanned” and “not on his official schedule.”
Yet the gunman had been there for 12 hours:

Was he just waiting there in case Trump randomly decided to go golfing that day?
First time was too close for trump taste so now they just told the shooter to roam around but to be sure to not shoot at the orange glowing stick
After a school shooting in Iowa last January:
“So surprising to see it here. But, we have to get over it. We have to move forward.” -Trump
So he should take his own advice and get over it.
Only police did the shooting here right. So there is not even something to get over for him. Just a Florida man exercising his rights to bear arms. For all we know he was there to keep an eye out for assassins.
He’s so upset Kamala stole his momentum, but the sequel never does as well as the original.
Let’s hope “Storm the Capital II: Electric Boogaloo” falls short of the original, too.
Oh, it will. If they march on the capitol again, Biden will call in the national guard.
Trump didn’t do that when he was at the helm because he wanted them to succeed.
I almost want them to try again so this time an example can be made of them, since our legal system refuses to hold extremists accountable for their own actions.
Well they’ll probably have a better police presence to start. But I wouldn’t be surprised to find the NG military police battalion in northern Virginia in a ready state too. I would be doubly unsurprised to find the 101st alert brigade restricted to base on January 6th.
There’s an entire force continuum of Find Out that most people aren’t even aware exists.
I can see the future… In the next 48 hours Trump (or Vance) will do/say something incredibly stupid and everyone will forget about this assassination attempt.
Has it even been confirmed as an assination attempt?
Everything I’ve read points at it being a Florida man hanging out in the bushes by the golf course with an AK. I don’t think they’ve confirmed he was even on the course.
