Apparently someone tried to assassinate Trump
I really don't approve of violence for political purposes, but I can't help but feel that the mongrel thoroughly deserves this or something like it. It's a pity the shot went wild. Apparently the shooter is dead according to the abc.
The real downside is that he's going to make political hay out of this - it's a real gimme for motivating his voter base. Maybe even to saint and martyr status.
If the shot had struck home, he WOULD be a martyr. This is better
Yeah but there would be no one equivalent to replace him, so the traditionalist republicans might have a chance at regaining the party back from MAGAs.
