You know, I am not a Trump supporter by any means at all.
But I do not approve of what happened to the man. And I don't think it is fair to put everyone who doesn't support him in the same category as the lunatic who tried to murder him.

I absolutely despise the man, and I in no way condone it either. I felt genuine relief when I heard he wasn't at all seriously injured. Then...ever since, I've been thinking about how much Trump must be loving this. The outpouring of sympathy and support from all 'sides', from world leaders, from the current president he demeans and demonizes. It's just what he has always sought...craved, this attention, and for years now, to be seen as the poor persecuted victim.
@Piper I think it was staged, no one behind Trump was hit, so therefore there was no actual bullet fired. I say this because I closely watched 15 seconds of a video over and over again about 25 times, both at normal and 1/4 speeds, there was no physical reaction by anyone behind Trump by anyone that would have been hit by the bullet that supposedly barely grazed his ear, no one pitched forwards or backwards and no blood splatter or spray on and around those that would have been next to the person that would have been hit. Watch 0:36 to 0:51, click on the watxh on youtube link. [media=https://youtu.be/z7_0UaeLr2o]
@NativePortlander1970 But the shooter was killed. I don't see how anyone, for any amount of money, would "pose" as an assassin with secret service agents all around.
@NativePortlander1970 I am generally dubious about conspiracy theories that crop up immediately after an event. Usually it's the right that comes up with them. So I don't want to succumb to the same tendency.
@DrWatson I am neither right nor left. I also have seven years securiry experience and have done numerous investigations alongside law enforcement, I have also been around firearms all my life as well. You call yourself a Dr, use your medical training and experience to watch those 15 seconds and ask yourself to Dr Quincy scrutinize them, no one looks like they reacted to being hit by a bullet, no one pitched forwards or backwards, and no one next to anyone shows blood splatter or spray on them.
@NativePortlander1970 I am unable to watch that video, but agree that there are some perplexing things about this incident. Other than that admission, I'll wait and see what further is revealed. It seems to be a fact that at least one person was killed, aside from the shooter...and that is terribly sad.
@NativePortlander1970 Clicking on the video does not take me to YouTube, but rather to a blank page that says youtube.com is blocked...and refuses to connect. I am already signed on to YouTube. I seriously doubt seeing it would convince me with any certainty that your claim is true, anyway.
@NativePortlander1970 I told you what happens when I click on "Watch on YouTube". I can't even imagine why I'd lie about that, even if I was at all inclined to lie. I've since copied the URL of that blank page, and pasted it in an email to myself. I can now watch the video when and if wish to.
Accusing someone of lying just because you assume something, is very uncool.
@NativePortlander1970 i'm blocked from it too, from the clicking of the link. however if i copy the link, go to a brand new window, go to youtube there, and then paste the link, it'll play.
@SarahAndSamantha Are you signed in? It's age restricted, I do however ask people to see kt. I am also Object Class Keter, which SCP is your favorite, I am split between 682, 173, and 096, 3008 is fun to watch now and then.
I am not "blocked" from YouTube, @NativePortlander1970, or from seeing most that are posted on this site. I have told you exactly what happened when I clicked on the specific video you presented, and don't care a whit if you think my "reply is 'suspicious'".
@NativePortlander1970 i've tried it both signed in and not signed in. neither works (for me, and I think that's an important distinction). My favorite SCP is [REDACTED].
@SarahAndSamantha Dr Buck and Detective Void would certainly be scrutinizing those 15 seconds, maybe The Rubber too. What do You think Dr. Bright and Dr. Clef would do? Yeah I know, they're fictitious, but it's still all in fun, they'll just get a D Class to watch the footage.
@Piper your side play victim when someone gets their pronouns wrong and you going to claim Trump is playing victim after being literally shot? His actions right after it are not the actions of a victim
@Piper You are nothing more than a TDS sufferer that has a closed mind and cannot accept that the regime running this country is failing and wants nothing more that to turn into another China, Russia, North Korea or Cube.Sorry for your inability to see things.
