He should drop out of the race and focus on his mental health then.
In prison.
That phrase should be added to all comments about him. Kind of like how some people add ‘in bed’ after reading fortune cookies.
And convicted felon
I thinkConvicted Felon Donald Trump is in iambic pentameter?
Tetrameter, but yeah
Oh yeah, good point.
Well done the both of you

And convicted felon …in prison

And convicted felon

in prison

…in bed

He doesn’t have trauma, he is watching because that was the moment everyone told him be won the election. It was his glory moment and he wants to relive it because he fears it slipping away. Spare me this disingenuous sympathy plea.
they’re looking for sympathy? where can i email 10 mb of laughing emoji?
I heard HamsterDanceButInsteadLaughingEmojiI.mpg.biz.exe.sh.com is how Iran hacked them.
I think him wearing an oversized bandage for as long as he did supports your hypothesis.
Are we talking about Trump’s make-believe “bandage” made of printer paper and scotch tape?
If it were anyone else it’s not a stretch to say nearly being killed would shake a normal person and cause some trauma. With Trump on the other hand that behavior seems almost masturbatory, like he is trying to re-live the moment where he was the center of attention

TBH, I would believe it.

Someone pointed out that he has always had a paranoia about people harming him. For instance, preferring takeout to avoid poisoning. He has played a very dangerous game with very serious players as a property developer, and in the process has made a lot of enemies.

So yeah, one of his greatest fears was realized. What other fears lurk just past the penumbra of the stage lights? What waits in the wings, should he lose the election? If only he could control things a bit more, maybe get Joe back in the race…

At least he can control the remote, and maybe if he watches his assassination attempt again, he can control that too

It was the high point of his campaign
And as an event that almost changed everything, it was forgotten about in about 3 days. It is crazy to me how quickly no one gave a fuck that he’d almost been assassinated. It fell off the news cycle before Biden stepped out of the race. I guess once they figured out it was a crazy guy and not politically motivated, no one cared.
Was it entirely NOT politically motivated, though? Has there been anymore word on the shooter?
No one was inside his head, but he donated to Dems and registered Republican. He googled both Biden and Trump events and seemed to pick the most convenient one. So we can’t know for sure, but none of the evidence points to any particular political motivation, just wanted to go out famous.
The googling part is news to me, hopefully we find more info as we go. I know everyone’s holding their breath waiting for a big reveal of something.
What I found most interesting is he apparently had pretty good opsec and kept his communications private and encrypted. You don’t usually get that with people who actually commit violent crimes. They usually either loudly tell the undercover FBI agents all about their scheme in a public venue or coordinate over FB Messenger or other extremely obvious opsec fails
Yeah I was like oh shit, Biden is out, someone tried to kill Trump, he’s gonna win for sure… and then the response to Kamala’s campaign was crazy. It gives me hope.
Donate if you have a few extra bucks.
I suspected that would happen. It’s like that time he got COVID and almost died. Huge story at the time, now people barely remember.
As soon as it’s clear that something isn’t going to kill him no one cares, he is so unpopular he has crossed some kind of public opinion event horizon.
We decided as a nation that people getting shot wasn’t worth getting excited about decades ago.
I’m still thinking about it. Vision and eye care are obviously not good enough in this country.

But you know that if it was a minority or someone on the left, they would have milked that shit until it was desert dry, then try to milk it some more

But instead it was a white guy who seemed to be a republican, or a centrist at best. So, not interesting to talk about

I think it more like they’re afraid of triggering an all out “night of the long knives” situation. The media isn’t stupid. They know Trump’s rhetoric has been leading to violence. It’s just that it’s been directed at the poor and PoC. Now that it’s coming home to them and other elites they’re being careful now.

They did the same thing with the black guy that went on a shooting spree in Dallas because of Ferguson. It was the perfect race baiting story, the shooter was a genuinely mentally ill person who was a hardline black nationalist that attempted to join numerous anti police protest groups and just had that “scary black man look” that Fox News loves.

But once it came out that

1.) He had been ridiculously effective in killing cops using the “shoot and scoot” tactic he learned serving in Iraq. Only being stopped once the police tied a bomb to a robot they sicked after him.

2.) He had killed to hardcore white nationalist police officers, kinda proving his point that the police were a force for black subjugation.

The story seemed to disappear from the headlines over night.

Compare that with the Ft. Hood shooter that was Muslim that Fox News talked about for YEARS after it occurred.

Great post. Same for the Vegas shooter. He was apparently trying to prove a point about mental health and fun control. Nobody said shit.

Also, thought you might like to know it “sicced.”

PTSD can happen to anyone, even some as narcissist as Trump.
He’s got the best PTSD. Lots of people are saying it.
He has spoken to many many smart people, experts, they are called. At least that is what he calls them. They know a lot of PTSD, I know all about PTSD, those ex-perts know more. They asked me, how do you have such good PTSD. I told them, I don’t know,I just do. They are shocked at how good my PTSD is. Remarkable, they call it. Sleepy Joe Bi-den doesn’t even have PTSD. He couldn’t, and if he did, I know it would be poor. And his diversity hire? Not even worth mentioning. What a loser.
Mental illness isn’t something I really find funny joking about, even with Trump. It’s not a good look.
I consider that less making fun of people suffering PTSD and more making fun of that idiot’s narcissistic need for embellishment and to be seen as the best despite all evidence to the contrary.
I’ve said it before. I do not believe Trump has PTSD. I do, however, believe he is a carrier.
You mean all of us who he gave PTSD by being President for 4 grueling years? Absolutely!
He’s just trying to find proof that the bullet directly hit his ear.
His Doctor lied, you can see the top of the ear still attached in this very picture. Are we sure this isn’t someone else’s blood?

ABC News: The U.S. Secret Service is making arrangements for former Pres. Trump to resume outdoor campaign rallies by surrounding his podium with bulletproof glass

NOW Hannibal Lecture comes to mind.,

Hannibal Lecture

Ironic typo

Joe stepping down looking better all the time. It’s like when J Cole apologized for dissing Kendrick, people were mixed until everyone realized, “hoooly shit thank god he did that”
He apologized?
He walked it back in 48 hours, saying he hoped Lamar would forgive him lol. Smart guy.
J. Cole Apologizes for Kendrick Lamar Diss Track

J. Cole also vowed to update the track, “7 Minute Drill,” or remove it from streaming services after it was featured on his new album, “Might Delete Later.”

The New York Times
He removed the song form streaming too.
Wait I don’t follow this stuff - what’s the tea on this?

Drake and Kendrick were friendly - ish - around 10 years ago but they’ve been souring since then.

Drake and J Cole recently collaborated on a song, First Person Shooter.

Kendrick Lamar threw the first recent punch with a line on Like That that specifically calls out Drake and J Cole about that song.

J Cole released a diss track in response, 7 Minute Drill, went to bed, woke up, and then decided he didn’t want the smoke and removed himself from the situation and removed the song from streaming services. Drake took the bait and released Pushups and Taylor Made Freestyle (which he’s being sued for for other reasons).

I’m just gonna quote the wiki article for the next part:

In response, Lamar released “Euphoria” on April 30 and “6:16 in LA” on May 3. Drake responded with “Family Matters” later that day, accusing Lamar of being a domestic abuser and alleging that one of Lamar’s children was fathered by Dave Free. Roughly twenty minutes later, Lamar released “Meet the Grahams”, accusing Drake of sex trafficking, being a sexual predator, and fathering another secret child. Lamar then released “Not Like Us” the following day, further accusing Drake of pedophilia and disrespecting the rap scene. On May 5, Drake responded with “The Heart Part 6”, denying Lamar’s accusations and claiming that his team gave Lamar false information about the secret child. A music video for “Not Like Us” was later released on July 4.

After seeing what Kendrick did to Drake, it is popularly believed that J Cole made the correct move. J Cole managed to neatly sidestep this entire beef and let Kendrick hit Drake with a biblical level smackdown.

Thank you! Especially appreciate the commentary below the wiki article - otherwise I’m not sure I would know who’s “winning” or “losing” in that mess.

Even if no one wins, sounds like he won by not playing.

That’s the general consensus, yeah. Kendrick wins the actual beef but J Cole wins the most out of all three of them by just not being present.

oh my god and now harris is "Not Like Us"ing the vance/trump ticket into the ground by hammering on how weird they are

we got fucking foreshadowing this season

Guy with no empathy seeks some, finds none.
