National news is reporting former President Donald Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt. He appears to be bloody, but he’s standing up and very alert.
This comes just five days after President Joe Biden was quoted as saying “We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” according to Politico.

Add full context. Biden said he’s the best person to beat trump in the preceding sentence so obviously he’s not speaking literally to put trump in a bullseye.
I doubt the dead rally attendee would be very interested in context.
Oh. Suddenly context matters?
Perhaps after this Biden’s handlers will choose his words more carefully for him. Trump has been called “literally Hitler” . Politicians have proclaimed “there will be no democracy if Trump gets reelected”. Actors have said things like “I’d like to punch him in the face”. Biden himself said “if we were back in high-school I’d take him outside and beat the he’ll out of him” . Those are all inappropriate comments and serve only to inflame. Words matter. How many times has Trump himself been excoriated for the comments he makes? Language matters. People need to choose their words carefully. The call to put “Trump in a bullseye” might have been innocent but it comes on the heels of so many other hateful and inflammatory comments from Joe Biden and the left and there’s no denying it.
“Obviously?”
In your “expert“ opinion?
Yet you decry comments of a similar nature made by republicans that are nowhere near the level of those made by democrats? And now “context matters?”
Look in the mirror at your own hypocrisy.
Right now the news is saying that he’s safe! But it looks like he had a bullet in the ear and blood out of his mouth so we’ll never know until he’s at the hospital and examined. This is horrible! who’s to worry about now the maga people who we’ve been told is the big threat by the media and the Democrats.? No! it’s the liberal left crazies that we all need to worry about!
When the SS Agents pushed Trump down the blood ran from his ear to his cheeks and mouth, that’s all it was.
Correct. It was easy to see as the front SS person guarding him was only slightly taller than an Oompa Loompa.
The Democrats are clearly losing so they’re panicking! I’m sure they’re behind this. But right now I’m going to the Trump for president website and I’m going to contribute $1,000!!!!!
Elon Musk contributes $45 million per month to a pro Trump Super PAC.
But it’s the thought that counts!
Did DEM and their leftist media rhetoric and vitriol
influence another weak minded follower ? ? ? ?

Do a search for maxine waters if trump elected
Just proves what sick whackos the democrat Biden supporters are.
Crooks is registered to vote as a Republican in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, according to county voter records. His voter registration status has been active since 2021.
Federal Election Commission records show that in January 2021, Crooks made a $15 donation to the Progressive Turnout Project, a group working to increase voter turnout for Democrats. My guess is that he didn’t like the candidate proposed by his party so he listened to those in his party who promote violence. What a confused young man.
Thank you for another blah blah blah statement straight from the corrupt liberal democrat controlled media.
Mitt Romney is a Republican because it gets him elected in Utah. Same with Lisa Murkowski. The letter next to your name indicating chosen political party doesn’t mean s**t.
Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski, if you look at most of the stand on the issues, they certainly are not democrats. They are what I call reasonable republicans. Isn’t the republican tent big enough to allow some differences. Mitt Romny was a republican when he lived in Mass.
HANNE JEPPESEN,
.
Mitt Romney is one of the few Americans elected to office in two states. Of course he was a Republican, because he was running on his name and the fondness in the Republican Party for his father, Governor George Romney, who was considered for the Republican nomination for president in 1968. He became a “Republican” in 1993, when he ran against Ted Kennedy for his Massachusetts US Senate seat.
He ran and won the 2002 general election to become Governor of Massachusetts and decided to run for the 2008 Republican nomination for president because he couldn’t win reelection to a second term in Massachusetts in 2006. In 2018, he won the general election to become the junior Senator from Utah and decided to retire at the end of his term in 2025 because he couldn’t win reelection to a second term in Utah in 2024. Your “reasonable Republican” couldn’t win reelection in a majority Democrat state or a majority Republican state once he showed voters in those two states who the REAL Willard Mitt Romney was.
.
Had Lisa Murkowski not been appointed to her US Senate seat in Alaska in 2002 by her father, who was then Governor Frank Murkowski of Alaska and had just vacated this Senate seat, then she wouldn’t be in office today. It was Governor Frank Murkowski’s acts while in office, which were seen as corupt, that directly led to the rise and election of Sarah Palin. She’s been able to win reelection in Alaska in 2004, 2010, 2016, and 2022, due to the power of name recognition and the support of then Senator Ted Stevens, a well run write-in campaign with a good jingle when she lost the Republican nomination, and her campaigns efforts in making Alaska a rank choice voting state because she couldn’t win reelection any other way. Typically, she’s only won reelection by about 10,000 votes or less. Your “reasonable Republican” is deeply unpopular in her own state and consistently struggles to win reelection because she’s shown Alaska’s voters who she is.
@concord Rez, – Many so-called Republicans are part of the swamp. The swamp still needs to be drained.

The shooter and at least one in the audience was killed.
Eyewitness says they spotted the shooter minutes before the shots but were ignored by police and secret service .

It appears Musk was one of the first people to post the shooter witness video. He’s also called for the resignation of Cheatle along with the head of security detail. He is quite correct.
No wonder he’s not popular with the left.
Strange how history repeats itself; desperation does that to people.
Interesting that FB has zippo on this in feeds. X has a lot. Only a couple channels covering on TV, of course Fox and CNN but not much more.
In Europe have family and every single channel has diverted programming to this news event.
If you don’t think that media is biased you are a fool.
got news feeds on phones that Richard Simmons dies but nothing about this……pretty much says it all “disgusting”.

Angry American, I don’t think what you get on the phone is an accurate measure of what is going on. I heard on the radio and at the same time it was on Yahoo’s front page.
The only way they can win is to kill him.It’s cheating again.
Trump is invincible. Nothing holds him down. Best pick to protect our Country. xo

His inability to be assassinated will cause Biden to drop out.
Chuq,
Inability to protect the country from what, exactly?
He was not the only one hit. One attendee killed and two others critically wounded.
From the sounds of it the bullet that hit Trump had enough slowed velocity from having already gone thru the head of an attendee of the rally .. Civil war is coming ..
Was this a secret service fail or something more sinister? Shooter is on a rooftop less than 150 yards away and he isn’t spotted? No drones? Many questions. Lets see where it goes. Trump got lucky today.
It’s amazing that we have so many expert folks who know all about the shooter and his motivations . Here’s a suggestion , wait until we have some facts to form an opinion.

Audio of shoots being fired at Trump, can tell last shot sounded slightly different.
Was Secret Service ending shooter with a single head shot.
That’s exactly what it was.
The last shot confirmed on FOX News as Secret Service sniper’s kill shot.
Donald Trumps blood is on Bidens hands!
He keeps calling Trump Hitler so the liberal zombies believe must kill to save democracy.

All of you disappointed Trump didnt die..this would have started a civil war,and you’re all so afraid of guns,this saved your a$$.
They are saying it’s ANTIFA, ie BLM.
The govt would not have the time or money to refill your EBT cards either,those that hate Trump.
Large caliber man, small caliber gun. WWTL I agree… dumb luck smiled on all these malcontents and life will go on.
Did he do the cross before he put his fist up? If he was not a believer, I am sure he is now!
@Your Neighbor The Immigrant
Do you mean the way creepy sniffing pedo crosses himself as a joke to get laughs? NO, Trump didn’t do that.
The shooter was a 20 year old with an AR style assault rifle, a terrifying sign of our times.
An AR-15 is not an assault rifle. Please stop spreading disinformation.
Please give definition of assault rifle!
Any weapon used to assault someone is an assault weapon…. any weapon used to defend against an assault is a defense weapon. Simple.
Thank you …..all these comments are so helpful, which are conspicuously adding strength to the “unity” of our “united”states …..creating so many productive solutions to the dilemma’s were facing…..i dont know where to begin……….sorry for the sarcasm, but that is pretty much, as far as i can tell…all this kind of dialogue produces……It gets weirisome after a while.
Maybe this will reignite the need for meaningful gun control. No plausible reason to own or manufacture an AR type weapon.
@Tim
Apparently, the murderer also had bomb-making materials, so someone better implement the need for meaningful bomb control.
And Hammers Tim,hammers,they are the #1 murder weapon in the USA,I want to see you pleading for hammers to be outlawed now that you know.
Tim,
Nice sentiment.
But, scapegoating guns isn’t the answer.
And just like that the Liberal Progressive Democrats are for gun violence. I have seen so many posts on so many sites where they are mad the shooter missed his intended target!
No mention of the father who died while protecting his wife and daughter!
“No plausible reason to own…” Wrong. Fantastic self defense weapon, particularly in the hands of a female as it is light, extremely accurate, easily kept on target and lethal.

The time has come to start the process of disbanding the Democrat party, prosecuting the senior ringleaders, and banning its members from government. They cannot be allowed to continue destroying the fabric of our society.
While that may or may not be a good idea, the Democrat party is doing a pretty good job of destroying itself. If the centrists don’t reel in their radicals we’ll just see more of this sort of thing. Further, I doubt they are interested maintaining a monopoly on political assassination and/or attempts.
Maga Sam, So you are advocating for a one party system. You want the Democratic party to be outlawed, you who you call ring leaders to be prosecuted and banning some or all from government system. How does that align with the constituion? Freedom of speech, freedom of association. Please explain.
Perhaps he’s simply echoing the sentiments of Democrat leaders, supporters and left-wing media in regards to the Republican party.
See how that works hanne?
.
Although, “the democrats” have been so destructive in the quest to get rid of Trump it wouldn’t be a bad idea. In no way is that advocating a one party system. As far as I’m concerned we could have 20 parties, or 50. The democrats just shouldn’t be allowed in their current form.
Hanne – you’ve FAILED to recognize that the left wing fringe (aka “progressives “ et al) have been attempting to do that for YEARS.
We’re tired of the FAILURE of the media to accurately report the facts…and tired of the slobbering lefties who are incapable of thinking for themselves.
Did some searching on line, street view show building, shooter was on back (hidden) side from Secret Service snipers vantage point. He raised up to shoot over roof ridge, my opinion only his shoulders, head and weapon were visible to snipers and hit largest target presented.
Probably why DNA test was needed.
.
Spectators outside the small event venue had a view of the shooter on back side of roof.
Unfortunate Secret Service didn’t have enough agents to cover larger area.
Too bad there was not a UAV surveilling entire area.
President Joe Biden is under fire for calling former President Donald Trump a “genuine threat to this nation” two weeks before an assassination attempt was made on him at a campaign rally.
“Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for,” Biden wrote in a June 28 X post:
@Bobfished
And more recently, that creepy sniffing pedo called Trump a rapist and said he should be in a bullseye.
Biden is addressing the nation this evening. Suppose anyone will watch? 🤣
Appears the YEARS of anti Trump propaganda has had an effect on liberal minds,
Lacking In Basic Education, Reason And Logic
.
An infamous mass killer of last century said,
“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself
to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach”
.
“… all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.”
.
Propaganda machine DEMs have forged is powerful, coupled with incessant short biased “news” designed to push DEM focus points, spewed out to handheld devices.

This wasn’t just an attack on Donald Trump. This was an attack on a candidate for the presidency of the United States. This was an attack on America. It was an attack on democracy, it was an attack on all the democracies.
Bobfished, Yes, you are right. From when I was a teenager and to my early twenties, I saw 3 of my political heroes assassinated, JFK, MLK and my favorite RFK. Doesn’t matter who or what party, it is unacceptable, disturbing and does not really solve anything.
The photo at the top of this story needs to be plastered on every background at the Republican Convention.

yes I have climbed those steps in Philly.
Tim,
Nice sentiment.
But, scapegoating guns isn’t the answer.
Wrong choice of words Hillary, when you said, “By any means necessary”. Makes you and your left wing lug nuts look like plotters.
