Look at that scared little face.
Trump: I look so weak when I run away from interviews. If only there was a way to ditch an interview AND remind people of the assassination attempt.
It's hilarious that's his best strategy.
That website has cancer.
Didn't seem any worse to me than most news sites, but maybe you don't use adblock...?
I'm old enough to remember when Newsweek was credible and respected. I understand the Magazine business model is brutal, but these days you're more likely to run into someone who's owned Newsweek than someone who subscribes to it.
August 3, 2013.
It's been a while since any formerly credible news source was free of foreign ownership.
All "news" media in the US has been entertainment and propaganda businesses wearing the logo and skin of dead journalism outlets since then.
Only took a few years to get Trump installed as president. I'd say that's amazingly effective
The clip just seems like he was done talking to the reporter, the reporter had another question (regarding a threat), and he gave an on topic (suprising) smart ass reply to her question in order to end the conversation. I think folks are reading too much into this.
It's ok Donnie, they were aiming at the little kid behind you, but hit a piece of shit in the process
I've always felt like Trump uses "we" more like the "royal we" as in he's a monarch, whereas other public figures use "we" to include society.
Yeah, also when ever he said ''a lot of people don't know this'' he means ''I just learned this a few days ago'' and ''a lot of people are saying'' means ''This is just my opinion''. On the bizarre side of things, ''bigly'' is actually a real word in the English language and he would be using it grammatically correct most times he says it IF that was what he's actually saying, but he not, he's trying to say ''big leauge'' and is almost always using it incorrectly.
Only losers get shot and have PTSD /s
We have a felon running for office who is openly telling his followers to revolt when he loses. We can’t let this ever happen again. We need to put some laws in place to stop a future Trump from happening again
I agree we need to make sure it doesn't happen again.
But, specifically what law(s) would you enact to stop this from happening and how would it fix it so this can't happen again?
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that Syvrud is accused of making threatening posts on social media targeting Trump.
Oh is that illegal now? I bet there's a bunch of poll workers who would be interested to have such support from law enforcement.
Yes. It is and has been illegal.
Having your head on a swivel after being shot at is normal. But you know what’s also unfortunately normal? Being shot at in the US.
A normal person would, after being shot at, consider pushing for responsible gun ownership legislation. He could help prevent what happened to him and hundreds of thousands of other Americans.
But you know what’s also unfortunately normal? Being shot at in the US.
Oh, fuck off. Even if it did happen to "hundreds of thousands" of Americans, it wouldn't be "normal". The US has 340 MILLION people in it.
But yeah, "hundreds of thousands" is bullshit it's not even close to one hundred thousand, less than half that actually, about 43k last year: https://healthjournalism.org/blog/2024/02/nearly-43000-people-died-from-gun-violence-in-2023-how-to-tell-the-story/
Something that happens to 1% of 1% of the population isn't "normal".
You have to consider the aggregate impact. Tens of thousands a year, over multiple years.
For example, this was an interesting that showed that, in a lifetime, 15% of Americans have witnessed a shooting, 25% have been threatened with a gun, 12% have been shot at, and 4% have been shot.

It’s so much cooler and more presidential to stand in a glass box and talk about how safe guns are for everyone though
“The second amendment people know that the radical left want to take your gu…”
Someone knocks over a chair and makes a loud bang
“WE’RE IN DANGER”
Kamala should slam her hand down on her podium periodically during their debate just to see if she can trigger the fat fuck into flipping out. It would be amazing seeing him combat dive and roll around on the stage while screaming "WE'RE IN DANGER!"
Someone sneaks in a package of ladyfinger 40/40 fireworks, and sets them off. Trump would hit the deck. They'd get talked to by the FBI. "It was just a prank, bro."
No just hand out little brown paper bags at the entrance. No need to bring fireworks into it
