Donald Trump speech shooting: Gunshots heard at president’s rally – latest news
2 years ago by Captain_CapsLock to c/news
Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I've seen, it looks like he did get grazed.
Yeah I too thought it was staged until bodies showed up. Anyone continuing to say this was staged at this point feels very Alex Jones.

What? Are you fucking delusional? I understand brown people are not really people for you guys there, but do you realize how many people indirectly and directly "these" people have killed in Syria alone, counting only cases of being simply too lazy?
Killing two people for fucking presidency? You think it's unrealistic?
Anyway, the answer to the question "how Machiavellian" is "fully" for everybody participating in politics, because we are still homo sapiens and our time is just as Machiavellian as Machiavelli's time, there are no naive people there, and if there are no poisonings and assassinations left and right there, that's for the same reason only there are no nukings left and right on the map, not because they are moral.
I'm just sick at how much of a coup this is for the Trump campaign. That photo is going to do so much work
Unless it was a blood capsule or something the guy is too much of a pussy to pull something like this off.
I’m seeing a rally attendee was killed along with the shooter.
According to a Washington Post reporter that talked with the district attorney, an audience member and the shooter are dead. Not a stunt.
Don't stoop to that level. Assume it was real. Base your conclusions on evidence. Not conspiracies.
My worry is that some lunatic right winger is trying to push us to civil war.
We’re already there. They just haven’t started the American Violence™ phase yet. Right now we’re in the American Saber Rattling™ phase.
One of the attendees in the bleachers was hit:

News is also saying that 2 are dead: https://news.sky.com/...
Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a shooter was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.
This doesn't sound like it was staged.
that a shooter was dead
In other words he can't be questioned
I dunno. I saw the footage. If the guy from Home Alone 2 was acting, he'd be a lot more blatant.
Plus, wouldn't secret service be in on it? I bet you they can't stand the guy either.
From my understanding, his service detail are all true believers. Remember, most LEOs and the like are very right wing.
At least two confirmed dead:

Can be seen in the JFK "assassination" as well. Dude gets around. Was younger then and could do some crazy acrobatics back then though.
reap what you sow
Half the comments here are proving that people on the right aren’t the only ones who can indulge in stupid conspiracy theories.
It’s depressing as fuck.
Q-Anon level thinking that somehow Trump is a mastermind of this. The dude who can't hide stolen files properly, can't lie on his taxes properly, and loses money on a casino, somehow has the ability to rig a false flag assassination attempt.
Are NeoLibs that so far into the Kool-Aid that Dipshit Trump is also a grandmaster 5D chess player of this, while not being able to string words together? It's not like he's even been a good actor.
I am glad Russia has no experience whatsoever with this type of operations
It's fun to indulge in, and it doesn't change the fact that shit is about to hit the fan, regardless of whether the shooter was someone with a legitimate desire or a paid gunman. Trump was just given and used a golden ticket to both rally republicans to vote for him, and to incite his diehard followers into another insurrection.
Sure, but I don't think being an ironic conspiracy theorist on the levels of Q-Anon is going to make anyone seem better.
Trump was already going to do that. Trump would do it if someone sneezed on him. They already considered him a martyr. They already wanted/have an Enabling Act. The only thing this changes is a bit less blood in him, and 3 people died. Trump already had higher polling numbers.
Fascism is here. Get ready.
It won't make anyone here seem better, I agree. But at the same time, it's not like we're going to have the opportunity to joke around like this after the inevitable happens.
Enjoy life while you still can, you know?
changes is a bit less blood in him
I admit I saw a red fluid on his face.
It's representative of the current state of this country honestly.
I'd imagine that there are a lot of rather confused individuals in a number of countries, and when tempers run high around politics...shrugs
I don't know if the US would be particularly bad. Would need to have some kind of way to quantify that.
A "false flag assassination attempt" is not as hard to rig if you know it won't be properly investigated.
Neoliberals are pro-trump, plan 2025 calls for going after people with student loans
It doesn't take a mastermind. Dictators faking assassination attempts to garner support isn't new.
"All right ear me big sniper guy, it's going to be an attempted assassination, the biggest ever, you are going to shoot me close, like danger close but don't worry I'm the best president, really I'm the best and you are the best sniper, the best sniper in the whole country. So you shoot me near the ear, near enough that blood comes out, I know scary stuff, but we are tough guys, the toughest so you do it and I resist and together we make the best attempted staged assassination ever"

0.01% chance based on what?
I think being unsure either way makes perfect sense. You gotta admit it doesn't really line up with Trump's character to be posing for the cameras if he's actually being shot at. Though tou're not wrong to say, that that isn't proof of anything. It's subjective feeling.
But, I think saying it's entirely unlikely this was orchestrated isn't right either.
The shooter was killed by Secret Service.
Very convenient.

On this topic as a whole, it's also proving people on the left are in favor of gun violence...
Elections were meant to be bloodless revolutions. Unfortunately with First Past The Post voting, the right options were not available to vote for. But we can change how we vote. We can make peaceful revolution possible with a more representative electoral system.
And how! I love the irony tho.
What's worse is that the MAGA crowd has Trump and some other figures intentionally playing conspiracies up and adding weight to them. The guys on the left don't even have the excuse of Biden and company bullshitting.
Braindead comment.
But why would you even think that people on the left are different from people on the right? This is why I'm not into politics myself. Because it all builds on some fake idea that one side is right about everything, even good people, while the other is wrong about everything, and probably are bad people as well.
In reality, both sides are very similar and have much more incommon with eachother than they have with the politicians they are trying to support.
My understanding is that on average there are differences in psychology between conservative and progressive people. For example, conservative people tend to be okay with unfairness, since from their point of view society is a hierarchy and of course the people at the top are better off.
Anyway, given that conservative and progressive people have a different vision of an ideal society and also different ideas about how to get there, it is reasonable to expect them at act differently. We know that most politically motivated violence is from the right.
I'm sure conservatives have the same views on the other side, something negative, based in fear. If you think about it, all of politics is fear of change in a direction we don't want, but others do.
In a family when this happens, family members talk about it and try to understand eachother. At least in a good family. In a dysfunctional one, family members go to war with eachother. And that's what I see in politics. There is no feeling of being humans on a ball together at all.
Care to clarify? I can’t make sense of your comment.
Ah, got it. You just misinterpreted my comment.
"blue maga" implies that there is a cult of personality around Biden like there is around Trump. That is simple not what anyone opposed to Trump believes in or rallies around.
You mean the primarys for this election that Biden is the sitting president? Or primarys four years ago when he was the guy pushed immediately to the top before the primarys?
Mr Trump could be seen ducking for cover behind the lectern.
I like attempted assassination victims that don't duck for cover.
It'll take more than that to stop a Bull Moose!
Honestly, they're all so dead inside up there that I'm amazed any of them even flinched.
Oh Trump will absolutely bring them up at every single rally to froth up the crowd. Because he may be the martyr they care about the most, but the martyrs who actually died will be great ammunition (I can't think of a more appropriate word, sorry) to rile up the crowd.
That is assuming there is another rally, and today's incident wasn't just the catalyst for a Jan 6 sequel. Knowing his supporters, I'm not holding my breath, unfortunately.
Considering the number of people here claiming this was Trump staging a false flag, I am absolutely certain there are a similarly large number of people on the right saying this was Biden trying to assassinate Trump and something must be done. So I hope not.
Fascists love their "martyrs for the cause".
I just hope they were crucial to Project 2025
Jan 6 is going to look like pleasant stroll compared to what's coming after this...
End stage capitalism any% WR exploit TAS
With the supreme court ruling regarding official acts we have already reached the point where democracy is on its last breaths.
This is the time for escalation that people can't ignore in favor of bickering over if the non fascist is old.
Remember that Biden is immune thanks to the SCOTUS.
He has a alibi, he's in Delaware. But as long as it was an official act, he could order it.
He wouldn't do it himself. He would order Seal Team 6 to do t. They wouldn't have missed, though.
Nah, this was obviously Hunter Biden in a Gritty Suit. The gunman who got massacred by the cops was just a patsy like Lee Harvey Oswald
A Libertarian friend from Florida joking suggested Hunter Biden. I think it was Melania.
I suppose we need even more guns.
Isn’t he banned being a felon
Or everyone else in the crowd had one
If he was wearing armor made of guns he wouldn’t be bleeding.

Practical solution for a practical problem
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think it would be. Not morally, just i don't think he's competent enough.
Being serious about it for a moment, it's extremely unlikely that it's a false flag attack. It's fun to joke about the idea, but the reality is that it doesn't appear to be staged, and he's far too much of a coward to agree to have somebody shoot at him.
Besides that, there's plenty of politically-unaffiliated groups or individuals who would probably want him gone just for how his last term contributed to the abortion bans, reunification of church and state (in some states), government corruption, etc.
there's also plenty of fence sitters and centrists who I sincerely believe would vote for him on tough guy vibes alone, despite him being a coward
Would he be told about this plan? It'd certainly be more convincing if he didn't know, and was set up by the RNC.
No one needs to actually shoot at him, he can just have a capsule of fake blood in his hand and smear it on himself at the right moment. It's so easy even he can do it.
Could also have been a real shooter.
Hes fully too much of a coward to be shot at.
But you're assuming he was shot at. Ducked, hidden away from camera, then blood on him.
No one is ducking a bullet
Some? They anyone with a functional brain that has been paying attention. Nothing the dude has ever done has been honest.
From the article:
Trump stood up and held his fist in the air with what appeared to be blood dripping down his face.
Several secret service agents surrounded him as he put his hand up and appeared to shout “fight” to his supporters who began cheering.
An excellent PR stunt and call to action for his violent insurrectionist supporters, if you ask me.
Christ. Now I'm envisioning his future campaign speeches. "They try to shoot me down, I am an immortal."
Campaign? Doesn't really need to even campaign anymore after this. Maybe he will mention it at a state of the confedarcy talk or something. These are such shitty times.
We will hear it for another 10 years when he finally has his hamburger heart attack.
Sweet, shoot again
So? This happens in Schools all the time?
People keep repeating this, but without convincing justification.
All I see is, people who were already energized to solidly vote trump, are now really really solidly already going to really vote for him now. I just don't see how this will get someone to vote trump, who was either going to vote dem or not vote.
People just say things.
This fucking shooter could set behind democracy in the US for dozens of years. Land the shots and you martyr him, miss and you galvanize his support. Seriously the conservatives were starting to shift away from the far right after Epstein documents and Project 2025. Now deep state wackos will NEVER go away and resort to crazier armed shit. Seeing people comment that the shooter 'was so close' is insane and makes them no better than political extremists.
There's also a ton of very religious rhetoric being used about Trump now. He's literally becoming the Messiah and a true religious hero fighting whatever evil is out there. God is saving him from bullets and what not. There's going to be some interesting sermons in evangelical churches around the country these next few weeks. Yikes.
Have "more shots" in the voting booth with Ranked Choice voting. First Past The Post voting artificially limits our magazine size to two shots. We deserve the right to have a standard or even high capacity magazine.
More chances to stop the Republicans. More chances Republicans would pick a more moderate candidate. More representation. More freedom.
All the martyrdom, none of the benefits of him actually dying.
Biden testing his Presidential Immunity.
Gotta start somewhere.
Looks like one of the bullets actually got him in the ear, as he grabs is ear right away. I thought it was from him getting tackled down by the secret service.
So the shooter was almost a good shot. So close.
According to TMZ a secret service agent said the bullet hit his teleprompter and glass shrapnel hit his ear.
No clue. I would assume it was in front, I'm merely attempting to spread actual information, unfortunately it is from a less than reputable source, but looking at their timeline, they seem to be covering all possible snippets of information from the scene, without speculating on the motives of the shooter.
Take it like Teddy you wimp.
One of the videos you can hear "shooter down" before he gets up. Elderly, near death experience, and monumental arrogance would help explain his reaction pretty well!
Shooting him isn't the way - but I can see why someone was scared enough to think it was. Just remember kids, voting for Biden isn't just voting against trumpler - it's saying you would literally prefer someone who is probably senile overhim. It's a solid insult, and you should go out there on polling day to make sure he hears it.
This is what wins him the election.
Won’t matter at this point. Even if it turns out to be faked. It won’t matter. His base is that fucking stupid. The idea has been planted and it doesn’t even have to be true.
This just got him elected.
There's a lot of time, a lot can happen, but this just justified a lot of the nonsense narratives the right wing has been trying to push.
I really hope you're wrong, but it certainly helps him.
I’ve never hoped to be wrong more I don’t think, but I fear now that the Cletus brigade is going to go on a fucking rampage.
Innocent lives are gong to be lost over this.
This is what wins him the election insurrection.
FTFY. He called on his rabid supporters to "fight." I think we all know what that means.
Several secret service agents surrounded him as he put his hand up and appeared to shout “fight” to his supporters who began cheering.
Yep. Many innocent people will die because of this.
I'm more worried about the nutzos trying to "defend trump".
Oh and First Past the Post voting artificially limiting our options putting us into this situation.
As much as I hate to admit this, it wasn't a fake shooting. The 'acting' was way too good to be faked. The mid-word 'stung in the ear' confusion slowly followed by the realization of what happened and the clumsy collapse to the ground are just too believable to think it wasn't real. That said, whether it was a false flag or not is another story.
That image was after I heard security yell "shooter's down"
Edit: They also yelled "clear we're clear".
Yup.
I've already called it "the bullet that nearly stabilized the world".
I have to disagree - these people are empowered because they were immune to the consequences of their actions. This would show you're not immune, that your choices and actions have consequences from those you are making suffer, and that the world doesn't exist in your ivory tower or group think.
The next fascist leader would go in knowing exactly what happened to the predecessor, exactly what the people think, and that they won't take your actions lying down.

Undoubtedly, this will incite his violent insurrectionist fan base into a repeat of Jan 6.
The fact that mods are actually doing their jobs in this thread restores some of my faith in Lemmy.
Would the world be a better place without Trump? Probably. Is this the way? No.
I see blood but I don't see a wound. Are they really going to try and pass that the perfect hole there is a bullet hole? Wouldn't a gun shot wound there take a bigger portion of the ear?
Paramedic here. All parts of the head are very vascular, and so any head injury at all bleeds fantastically. If the top of his ear got clipped, that would be enough to produce that much blood.
Depends on the round. A lot of factors come into play on gunshot wounds, including velocity, mass, resistance, angle. There is even some possibility that the round just barely missed, but the displacement of air is actually what broke skin.
There is even some possibility that the round just barely missed, but the displacement of air is actually what broke skin.
That is an urban legend. I've been missed by some pretty large caliber rounds in war and I've seen some pretty large caliber rounds barely miss people. No damage is done. You have to make contact with the round (or vice versa) for it to do damage.
I'm literally just a dude. I usually don't have time to post, and haven't really felt the need to comment, but I had a rare day off where i felt like I could actually take part in conversation.
Nice
Are you referencing Brutus or John Wilkes Booth?
Interesting. TIL. I also learned this from Wikipedia-
A joke referencing the image on the seal that dates as far back as the Civil War, is that "Sic semper tyrannis" actually means "Get your foot off my neck."
Glad to hear it, but I hope you can see why I had to ask.
pushed against secret service to face cameras and have his head exposed for a long period of time?
Ok, that's in the range of "you don't have anything to hide if you're innocent", shut up.
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.
It's not clear at all that that's what happened. It is completely plausible that someone would shoot a firearm at a candidate in a hotly contested presidential election. Let wait for evidence to roll in yeah?
You know for a fact that if the shoe were on the other foot, this is exactly the rhetoric we'd be hearing.
So let's not do what they do and live in an evidence-based world and not an emotion-based one.
The "facts don't care about your feelings" party doesn't care about facts and spends a lot of time on how their feelings are hurt.
My evidence (in addition to the weirdness of his reaction, and the convenient blood) - has any article mentioned a shooter being seen/shot/arrested/known to exist? I can't remember a time where there was a shooting and no article said ANYTHING about a shooter, only about the shots. Nothing could be better for the Trump campaign than for him to be "almost" assassinated.
You're right. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. But I still hold all parties to a standard of honest discourse.
Yes it would be the case. Should we start behaving like right wing conspiracy theorists now?
Doesn’t make it right or acceptable.
Yeah but that's because Republicans are fuckin idiots
I wouldn't be surprised either way, honestly. It would be the right timing for a false flag though for sure.
But then on the other hand this is the prescribed treatment for tyrants, per our fore-bearers.
You’re doing what they do.
Not who you're replying to but its very easy to wish death (or the sudden thanos-ing) of objectively evil people.

You're objectively evil. Not reading past your first paragraph as it already makes every source after that irrelevant.
You feel really smart adding references and sources to your deathwish right? I hope you realize how ironic that looks.
You’re objectively evil.
Typical Trump apologist mentality, projecting their own views and not backing up their claims.
Not reading past your first paragraph as it already makes every source after that irrelevant.
Cheers! 🍻 Stay ignorant.
You feel really smart adding references and sources to your deathwish right? I hope you realize how ironic that looks.
Just trying to help others educate themselves on the facts, but there's only so much you can do when people are willing to stay ignorant 🤓
EDIT: I should add - please, at the very least, read up on the paradox of tolerance. Your ignorance only helps the enemy.
A pissed off POS, fuck Donald Trump.
He's a rapist, a felon, and countless other things. I AM BETTER THAN HIM.
Where was Nikki Haley? She was in charge of security!
Come on man, you're making me laugh at someone getting shot. XD
At least one rally attendee was killed:
Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a shooter was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.
It's a real shame...
This is nothing, check out what putin did!

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
