The attempted assassination of Donald Trump

This was a deliberate attempt at killing Donald Trump. Americans should rejoice that he has lived to see another day. He is a man who is sacrificing his time, his reputation, his freedom, and now possibly his life to save America. How could you view the footage of this attempted assassination and not feel empathy for him, and be glad that he, by some miracle, survived?

Where does the alleged assassin come from? Why did he try to murder Trump?

He was a nobody apparently.A 20 year old lefty.A useless shot too and he picked the wrong gun.You would think any potential sniper would pick a sniper rifle and then practice so they can hit what they are aiming at.A decent shot can hit their target with the first round at 1000 yards.This useless nobody missed at 200 yards and then was shot dead.As for why he tried to assassinate a former President and current Presidential candidate,who knows what goes on in the minds of the mentally unstable.Maybe a phycologist can provide that answer.Probably blame it on a bad childhood.

@tallpowerhouseblonde The shooter was a registered republican according to his county records. It's ALL OVER the news. We don't know the shooter's motive - maybe Trump wasn't enough anti-abortion, or not enough pro-gun. Could be lots of reasons why a crazy person aims a gun at a powerful person.

The one conclusion we can draw is that more guns won't fix our problems.

@ElwoodBlues He is a registered Republican who apparently donated to a progressive cause in January 2021. His parents are registered Democrat and Libertarian. Despite trying to murder Trump, people who knew him have said that he did not make political posts on social media and never expressed strong views on political matters. His parents are licensed counselors, and he had “no apparent history of mental health issues.”

@ElwoodBlues I just read that he wanted to be a member of a gun club but was refused as he was a lousy Apparently he was bullied at school.So here comes the bad childhood excuse.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Republican on Republican violence. Surely we can find a way to blame Democrats, right?

@ElwoodBlues It reminds me how the maga-Republicans accuse Democrats of being pedophiles and then... Matt Gaetz, Jeffrey Epstein + Insurrectionist Cry-Baby-trump dancing together, Insurrectionist-Cry-Baby-trump and the comments he made about his daughter when she was under age, and Mike Johnson who requires his 17-year-old son to monitor his Internet viewing.
