Wasn’t there something about Trump bringing in more gun control measures than Obama? Something something bump stocks idk
Obama passed a lot of smaller things. Trump just kinda saw that people were angry after the las vegas shooting and banned bump stops using an executive order (which was later overturned)
I weep for this man https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SexmfU6b1ik
Still slower than the queen Elizabeth memes
He’ll claim to be over it (he seems to be fine), but still implicitly prod his more eccentric followers to exact retribution.
Implicitly? I got a bridge in brooklyn to sell you if you think he isn’t going to instantly spin this into “we need to go to war”
Faked shooting
All looks staged to me.
Hit in the ear that’s away from the camera.
Falls to the ground obscured from view so someone can do up his makeup.
Bullet just happened to ricochet and hit a hose line for the hydraulic system of some lift to show it’s a “real” bullet.
Then Trump gets up raising his first triumphantly.
You couldn’t write a better scene for Trump if you tried.
Fuck off with this. You sound like a right wing nutjob.
We are all right wing nutjobs on this blessed day.
Speak for yourself! My wife makes right wing nutjobs with a rolling pin
the result is the same even if it was staged. if it got revealed on mass media right now that it was a staged plot to boost Trump ratings it wouldn’t change a thing. maga crowd has proven time and time again they put more weight towards the shit they want to hear than the actual truth.
I look forward to Trump shitting on whoever dies in the crowd because he didn’t and the MAGA idiots being completely fine with it.
He also was already in WrestleMania and has knowledge on how to fake it.
Wrestle mania did shootings?
Well… Big show did get shot with a tranquilizer dart once.
Yup!!
Secret service said “shooter’s down” before they picked him back up.
Two bystanders kill themselves /s
What are bystander deaths supposed to prove? You think Trump and company are above killing some nobodies to make it look convincing?
I’m gonna hold off on that until we hear from relatives. Also, two you say? Numbers vary.
Best I heard was one bystander and the shooter.
I heard 1 dead, 1 injured, plus Trump.
So yeah, real bullets.
Exactly.
The microphone did pick up a typical “crack and thump” of an incoming supersonic bullet though.
Magic bullet
Might have been. But the deranged idiots go on school shootings too, completely unnecessary violence. We’ll have to wait and see.
Jfc yall need to cut this bullshit out
So important that the memes get on top of this story and double down on this specific hypocrisy. Optically, this tragedy is perfect for the RNC to the point it could almost be staged except for the glaring weak spot that Republicans believe that the person who did this had every right to own a firearm. The memes need to absolutely rail at that chink im the armor and pretty much nothing else, otherwise this is nothing more than gained footing for MAGA.
They don’t care about hypocrisy.
make them
lol, should we make them care about women and minorities as well while we’re at it?
they’re demons. you can’t “make them” care about anything but holding power and abusing it.
Hypocrisy is a tool of the GQP.
But haven’t you heard? It was a group of illegal Mexicans. They shot then planned to rape Melina however unfortunately those dirty illegals missed and Melina remains un-raped, well by illegals anyways. /s obviously
This is a great point. Commence the meme-off!
Well, this event will definitely be exploited by Trump’s team and he will be strengthened. Just like happened with Bolsonaro and the stab.
Unfortunately I think Trump will be reelected.
Or we get a bunch of copycats.
Biden gets shot. Trump gets shot.
Future debate, Trump brags about how he got assassination attempts and Biden goes “No way Jose, I got assassination attempts too, bucko.”
What a timeline.
That would certainly be the quickest route to nationwide gun control
We really should ignore all the election politics and make this all about gun control. Paint Trump as a victim of the Second Amendment. Make it a whole sob story about how our democracy is under attack by guns.
Trump enacted some of the first gun control since the assault weapons ban. I’m pretty sure he said something like take their guns first then justify it latter during the summer of unrest.
He’ll do whatever, he’s got the morals of an alley cat
This would be incredible.
Elon Musk endorses Trump following Butler incident
From CNN’s Isabelle D’Antonio and Allison Gordon
Billionaire tech investor Elon Musk has announced he is endorsing former President Donald Trump following Saturday’s incident in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump and Elon both work for Putin who holds kompromat over both of them.
Elon does what he’s told
Or he’s just a Nazi doing Nazi things.
Probably.
Probably, but he also had meetings with both Epstein and Maxwell.
Not to sound like a Russian bot, but sometimes I wonder if Putin actually is the most powerful mf on this planet. The US is too big for him to fight head on, but he’s really found a way to cut us deeply and repeatedly to the point where it’s a real possibility that he will destroy and own this country.
As if Elon was not on his side before. The haste with which Elon Twitted/Xitted that endorsement out confirms that this is all staged to get people’s mind away from his name in Epstein files
*Xcreted
Rapist nest egg kid endorses bigger rapist nest egg kid
No surprises there
So what’s going on here? I am 100% out of the loop.
He just got shot
At. Shot at.
We don’t know if the bullet did actual damage, or if it’s was from the teleprompter.
Sounds like he actually got hit by glass from the teleprompter, which was shot.
Edit: Turnip is now claiming a bullet hit him. Not sure which story is true
He just got “shot”.
“Fake news.”
I wonder if he saved any of that ketchup for his post performance hamberder.
Lest anyone feel bad, remember they thought this was fine.
Someone saw this and sent me a message saying they hope I die, lmao.
I hope you live a nice long and fulfilled life, but die eventually. Let’s be honest, given the current timeline… immortality would suck.
This is fine. It’s just not usually like Lemmy to send me vile threats since I sprinkle joy and sovcits all over the place.
it is strange, we live in weird times though.
He probably will get over it. It’s booming him in the polls
It’s booming him in the polls
You mean the fascists got a little excited
Ah yes, all those… polls from the last three hours.
Which polls?
Trump after a shooting in Iowa that left one sixth-grader dead and six other staffers and students injured,
“So surprising to see it here. But, we have to get over it. We have to move forward…”
-
how were the secret service not on the roofs or monitoring the roofs from aerial POV? Most obvious spot for a sniper.
-
the dude interviewed by British journalist right after that says him and group saw man with gun climbing roof, told cops and secret service and neither did anything
-
his first and only focus was his shoes?
-
a man who is a documented coward and narcissist pushed against secret service to face cameras and have his head exposed for a long period of time?
-
secret service ignores protocol to cover and remove him and let’s him vamp and pose
-
straight lines of blood on his face, history with pro wrestling
-
yes, the supposed gunman was killed, but on what day are there not thousands of trump cultists lined up and ready to die if someone tells them they are on a secret mission to help daddy?
-
yes, some in crowd may have been injured, but when has trump shown any hesitation to have pale injured or killed for his personal benefit (January 6th, church protests, etc).
-
his secret service were proven corrupt and involved in cover up measures for trump before (e.g. Deliberately erasing text messages relevant to January 6th)
-
this all happens as project 2025 narrative was taking form hold, leaked video/audio by the day and days before the RNC.
-
watch the footage, down the stairs, secret service is concerned with grabbing and carrying his special red hat? How the fuck would that ever be a concern in an actual emergency?
people died
You’re referencing January 6th?
?
Because they’re hoping for a martyr?
This is the dumbest shit and we need to fucking grow up a bit. These “questions” are asinine and not that hard to explain.
-
Not denying the incident was reported, but there’s a heavy insinuation here that this was set up or manufactured. If so… They needed an entire Secret Service detail, local event police and everyone standing by to be in on it. A couple hundred people are going to be involved and no one leaks it?
-
“Supposed” gunman. I like how you pivot from “this is probably set up” to “ok even if it was real Trump is capable of worse”
-
Again, the insinuation of an inside job here. We’re going to involve a hundred or more people and no one thought it would be a problem to kill a bystander? Or the gunman was so good he killed a specific plant? And they had a 100% success rate… No one heard the plan and thought “oh this is a bad idea” and spoke out about it?
-
Big difference between deleting text messages and MURDERING AN AMERICAN to further a political agenda.
-
Yes. Things happen all the time. Trump people are saying this is to distract from Biden being inept. There’s always a convenient time.
-
Yes you dumbshit he was concerned about his hat because they already had the all clear. The shooter got taken out in seconds. They wouldn’t have moved Trump. And they all were saying it was all clear. Also have you ever seen people in an absolute panic? Not the most rational state. Same thing with his shoes. That’s ALSO why he took the photo op. They all dove on top of him. They figured out the shooter’s location and took him down before Trump even got up.
There’s pictures of the fucking bullet in flight. So either that was ALSO manufactured (a member of the press willingly heard the plan ahead of time and doctored a photo or they actually shot a bullet inches away from Trumps head AND captured it). But no let’s just get Trump, a bumbly ass fuck to orchestrate this perfectly. I’m sure he had it a planned to go down, and everyone covered him and he pulled out a razor blade, cut his ear, and put it away, all perfectly executed and no one caught anything on camera from any of the dozens of angles.
This shit is so fucking stupid and I’m so sick of hearing about it. These points all rely on the most ass backwards way of thinking where dozens of people are in on this conspiracy and relies on all of them bring cool with killing someone to make it good for Trump.
Get this shit outta here. This doesn’t deserve the pixels on the screen used to illuminate this nonsense. Be a fucking grown up. We’re going to have to figure out a real way to beat Trump, not pretend this was some false flag bullshit. Accept reality. Be a goddamn adult.
I’m not even saying you’re wrong for questioning, but I am saying you are wrong because the sheer volume of things that would need to occur for this theory to be even remotely possible is so ridiculous, I would consider aliens an equally plausible situation.

Oh those things are great! Keep them coming!
Well tbf, he did also ask for itWho’s Amercia?
His account was made in March of 2009, this is listed as January 2009, seems fake
You’re right I think. Probably should’ve checked that. My bad
