    It is a very bad incident. Violence has no place in politics. This is the main reason both sides should dial down on the rhetoric!!!

    so was the telemprompter hit that sent glass to the ear or did the bullet graze him? I guess just lots of speculation on some of the details....

    We're surprised that a group that was allowed to burn and loot cities, set up "no go" zones by threatening violence, all with the tacit support of leftist politicians got violent on Trump?

    I fear this may lead to further cognitive decline - is he up to the task- it pains me to say it but...

    ... Trump should take the weekend to consider with his family whether or not he wants to stay in the race.

    They’ve been trying to end him politically, legally and every other way for a while.

    I don’t support trumps policies or him but it’s kind of crazy to try and prosecute someone for 8 years straight

    He will use it as a pretext to consolidate more power and justify further anti-democratic behavior. So yeah, you're right.

    He lives in his own leftist mind. It sure is a mental disorder.

    I was literally on the front lines of that. I also saw first hand people tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets. Yes the political leaders made big mistakes but in Minneapolis but they weren't allowed to burn and loot with the support of politicians.

    For that matter many of those in Minneapolis weren't ANTIFA but also including Boogaloo Boys and other Right Wing groups looking to forment violence. There were also many who came from out of town with no political leanings who came in just to loot.

    They only people who don't realize Trump's autocratic aspirations are his fervent followers.

    Or they just don't care.

    It's one thing to send a violent mob to kill the speaker of the house and to hang your own vice president because you lost the election- it's another thing to be on the receiving end.

    Thoughts and prayers to Trump and his family - hopefully he uses this experience to grow and become a better person

    Not at voters, no. Personally I think this is all very fishy the way this went down. The way ss just let someone climb on roof is crazy and unheard of.

    I remember the first time trump thought he was legitimately about to be shot. It was very different from this.

    I guess you can only be worried if you think his is real.

    Shrodinger's leftist. Soy boys who can't handle firearms.


    And elitist assassins.


    Look, one ideology in this country failed to grow out of their cowboys and Indians phase as a child and try to form violent militias that have done things as horrid as murdering an entire family because the dumbass radical right wingers thought the father was a illegal migrants drug smuggler and let me tell you that one incident alone is more tragic than any political assassination or assassination attempt including if it was someone I would vote for like Obama or Joe. The child who died in that one incident out of hundreds of violent right wing incidents in this country is even more tragic than JFK being assassinated

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Raul_and_Brisenia_Flores


    The murder of that family is the most obvious direct example of rhetoric painting migrants as invaders creating violent consequences. Stochastic terrorism.

    These type of people, victims of right wing violence never decided to be in the political spotlight. They didn't decide to enter the political poop flinging contest when they decided to go to shop at a Walmart in El Paso one evening.
