Our breathtaking icon was bestowed upon us by @Cevilia!
The greatest banner of all time: by @TheOneWithTheHair!
Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.
How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump...
i still wonder. HOW DID THAT ONE GUY MISS?!
Half of me still thinks that whole “attempt” was staged
Exhibit A: The Photo Op with the fist raised
I mean, who the fuck just stands there like an idiot after a gunman supposedly tried to kill you. It's like they knew there's only one gunman. Sus af 🤔
The idiot who looked into an eclipse?
Also all the blood. Then no damage on the ear a few days later. 78 year olds don't heal that fast.
No one heals cartilage. Especially not a 78 year old dottering fool whose primary source of nutrition is McDonalds.
Even if it was a graze and only had skin damage. A 78 year old will have scars and bruising.
Exactly, there's absolutely no way it grazed him at all with no skin damage, no cartilage damage, no scarring.
I also wondered that, but honestly man there's almost no fucking way. 😂 That was a very real bullet, that went through his ear, and killed the man behind him. Combine that with all the different random-ass factors others have mentioned with the ludicrously small margin of error. Turn your head at just the right time or fucking die.
Combine that with the shooter being a random child that looks like he had fetal alcohol syndrome, that's the "man" carefully staging a very near-miss shooting. 🥴 I mean FFS, look at his face. I wouldn't trust him with a complicated McD's order, let alone shooting at my fucking ear and not killing me. 😂
The only way it was staged was if you could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump was very willing to die & become a martyr, which frankly I think he's not against if it came to that, but it's very clear the man loves life/living. Trump doesn't want to die.
A bullet never went through his ear. The FBI amended their statement to say he was 'grazed' by a bullet or a bullet fragment, after initially questioning if he had been hit at all (because his medical team withheld all information from them during the investigation - which was unusual and suspicious). I mean you could see plain as day just a few weeks later when he removed the bandage his ear was almost completely undamaged.
Yeah, that was poor wording on my part, probably just because that's the terminology I hear all the time. I should probably amend that.
It's true, due to the nature of the ear being really close to the head, the bullet didn't pierce a hole through his ear. I don't accept the bullet fragment theory, idk, I don't see very-very accurate bullet fragments mid-flight. The bullets themselves can tumble or do crazy patterns, depending on weight & caliber, etc. I think the most logical working theory is the fully intact bullet grazing his ear mid-flight. Ears really can bleed heavily even from small cuts/pimples, at least mine do.
On a semi-related note, you all can watch regular, interesting, and/or terrifying custom rounds traveling in HD slow-mo on this YouTube channel. I believe their slogan is, "You make it....we mach it." 😂😬
that was all for publicity though lmao
