Correction, it was a bullet that nicked him. Lucky for him I guess that the shooter had to rush his shot.

The shooter, although in clear view of marksmen, was able to get off five shots.
Eye witnesses claim that they had earlier reported the shooter's movements to the police.

Answer to Democrats have been quick to condemn the attempted assignation of Donald Trump, including pulling ads out of Respect. Do you think Republicans would have reacted the same way if there was an Assassination attempt on Joe Biden? by Ken Robley https://corruptiontrumpandgop.quora....et_type=answer

Tenacious D cancelled tour after Kyle Gass blurted the quiet part out loud.
Gass, on Sunday during a show in Australia, was presented with a birthday cake, footage from the concert shows. Black asked Gass to make a wish, to which Gass replied, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
Not speaking for this incident or any other specifically, I suspect more than a few "condemnations" of the attempt may be more pro forma decorum than sincerely heartfelt.

Not that there are very many MAGA's around here to see it and they'd still dispute it. Speaking for many many Dems, we wouldn't shed any tears if TFG dropped dead (natural causes of course) but we don't want to see him murdered. Him getting elected is the best argument for abolishing the EC that I can think of.

The Republican idea of "taking down the temperature":

We're going to post a bunch of insulting memes and rude comments about you guys, but you can't respond.

Agreed, tho I wouldn't have shed tears 8 years ago which would have been much preferable to later.

Turns out there is a link between the GOP and the shooter's family.

I LOL when the tRumpers try to deny the shooter was one of theirs. My only question is why did he go after the Naranja Nazi? By-the-by, more to worry about should the POT fail to steal the 2024 presidential election.

This shooting has more then likely just given the presidency to Trump.
