As the Secret Service try to hustle Trump off the stage, he says "Wait"... so that he can fist pump the crowd. Meanwhile, just a few feet behind him, a Trump supporter lies dead with his brains blown out.

Trump, ever the showman.
He showed the crowd he was alright. There is no way that he would have known that anyone else was hurt or dead. Your criticism is absurd.
Anything to distract from the main story that there was an assassination attempt on Trump, right?

Multiple shots are fired, Trump is wounded... and you don't think that perhaps Trump's backdrop on the stage (comprised of rows and rows of seated supporters) might perhaps be in the line of fire??!!! Give your head a shake, man.
Supporters sitting behind a political speaker on a stage are literally sitting ducks. But hey, it looks great on TV, right!

Is that why so many of your professional journalists just said noises were heard? Why didn't they know that shots were fired and that people were injured or killed? Even when confronted with facts that Trump was injured they reported that it was from the teleprompter and not a bullet hitting his ear. LOL
On the one hand you expect Trump to know in seconds everything that happened and on the other hand your professional journalists even hours later were wrong, wrong, wrong.
Is that why so many of your professional journalists just said...
Have you been out in the sun too long? I have no journalists working for me.

I expect Trump to take full advantage of every opportunity presented to him. This just might be the ticket he needs to help take him over the top. Heaven help us.
America is going through a difficult time. Some will try to take advantage of that. It is the burden of being the greatest country the world has ever known.
American adults understand that as soon as the shooting starts, secret service will surround the president and take him to safety.
You left out the part where Trump delays his removal off the stage (putting everyone around him at further potential risk) so that he can fist pump the crowd. Such a great photo op that he was not going to be denied!
I cannot believe that "American adults" wish to have this ostentatious showboater as their President.
Give it a rest. This is not a good day to start a fight with America.
Are you back to that bullshit about me "attacking" America again? You're the one who needs to "give it a rest". Calling a reality TV personality a showboater in a small segment of a car forum is hardly starting "a fight with America". Damn, you're sensitive.

Says the guy who goes into a thread about an assassination attempt just to be a troll.
Look everyone, it is Patrick. He demands to be the center of attention! Look at him! See how clever he is! He is funny and points out funny things!

You've somehow got this twisted idea that no one is allowed to post in P&R unless they abide by the beliefs of you and maybe a half-dozen others. I don't know how to say this politely, so I won't bother. Bugger off.

Look everyone! It is Patrick again! He is sooooo clever! He demands our attention. Look at his post. See how clever he is. We should all be like Patrick! He can take the most serious subjects and make it about him! Patrick is so clever!

Patrick... you need to be introspective here. Seriously. Why are you upset?
You are mad for all the wrong reasons. I know you're not the kind of person you're acting like right now.
I am actually surprised there have not been more attempts on both candidates.
Even on this forum I have seen multiple posts about having to "shoot our way out of" political problems instead of voting to fix them and wondering how long it will be until the shooting has to start. And those comments were not coming from a "leftist".

In a post to his Truth Social network, Trump thanked the Secret Service and other law enforcement 'for their rapid response'.
'I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin,' he said on social media.
'Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening.
'I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of law enforcement, for their rapid response,' Trump added.
'Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured.
With how quickly he was hustled off the stage, I'm thinking that he didn't even know about the others until later on. But some people will always assume the worst about others. SMFH.
