It was not an assassination attempt.

Thank god Trump is okay. Hopefully he'll tamp down the negativity and discourage confrontation at his events by singling out reporters etc

LOL!! 

Say, how'd you like Trump all pissed off at the early voting?  He knows those Hispanics are not voting for him.

CNN is reporting that even though, the guy apparently did not have a gun, people thought the accused did have a gun and were even saying "gun" and you could hear them.

Secret Service doesn't mess around.



Here is the thing, no matter what you think of the person, an attack on the President (or a candidate) is an attack on the US. Not saying it was a true attempt versus a scare, I have no clue. But we are not a third world despot nation where we swap out leaders through lead or rope. We have a Constitutional system to deal with these things.

Hopefully it was just a scare.

Color me skeptical when the supposed target is a guy who has been known to stage elaborate theatrics.

Maybe we will never know, we live in surreal times.

Good exercise for the Service fellas though.


Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Yeah because we know eyewitness reports are always accurate.

The USSS doesn't play those games. They wouldn't allow it to happen even if asked because playing a game like that could be a greater compromise of security.

It was frightening .... watching the rally live.  Here's the perp.  I'm surprised he can walk, he was tackled pretty hard by rally attendees.

Ahh, so now it's an assassination attempt even though he doesn't have a gun?

I vote for the staging.  That is exactly the sort of thing Trump would do.

Every person at the rally went through a magnetometer. It would have been nearly impossible to sneak a gun in.

There's always a possibility...then why do they need armed guards or SS...a gun could have been planted earlier..
