Yup, the more they go after him, the more powerful and popular he becomes. They never learn.

In that video where leo is taking the shooter out. Looks like there could be a woman in a red laying right behind where they drag him out. Don't know.

Video of a dead guy on a rooftop.

Maybe this is the shooter and the "shooter" in the crowd was a bystander.

just looked at video teleprompter is intact

It looks like 2 teleprompters are intact (again, WSJ clip).

But even if it was glass from a shattered teleprompter, so what.

The bottom line remains: someone took a shot at Trump. Doesn't even matter if he completely missed and Trump wasn't injured at all. Don't distract from the attempt and intention.

Jesus. Killed a Trump supporters attending the rally.

Quote from a friend: "The left wing extremist acceptance of political violence, their advocacy of political violence, and their outright inciting of political violence up to and including assassination just paid off - but not for them."

quote:

"4:21 PM PT -- A source who has spoken with a member of the Secret Service tells TMZ, Trump was not hit by a bullet. Rather, a bullet hit his teleprompter and the glass struck him by the ear. "

A distinction without a difference.

The Secret Service failed.

How? Nobody can be protected 100% all the time, especially in a huge crowd. Are they supposed to have him hide in a bunker all the time, or ride around in a popemobile?

Of course. What possible difference does it make if he was hit directly by a bullet or by something the bullet hit? The intent was the same.

Listen to what the President says.

Biden will never again be able to talk about how he gets knocked down and gets back up, with any relevance.

All the hot air in his badass macho ego balloon was let out almost 2 hours ago.

"The shooter in the Trump security incident is dead and two others have also died

A law enforcement source told Fox News' Jacqui Henrich the shooter is dead and two others have also died."

Fox News

How many shooters were there? First reports of any incident are always confused.

I watched the video of the crowd where someone was being dragged away (shooter or innocent victim, can’t tell). And I also watched a video of someone down on top of a roof of a low building.

That could mean at least TWO shooters, and that would make it coordinated.

My first thought as well. GHWBush visiting my company's HQ back when he was running for re-election. We had to go through metal detectors to get on site that day. Secret Service and cops were everywhere.

A bullet hits him in the ear, an inch from his brain, and he gets to his feet and holds up a fist. That is a warrior right to the core of his heart.

He will win in the biggest landslide in American history.

Newsmax just mentioned a Secret Service statement that said there were two shooters.
Have to wait for confirmation.

Fact.

We will hear several things that will be misinformation until the dust clears.
