He’s not gonna get sympathy votes. He’s gonna get votes from people that are rightly impressed that a 75+ year old man can get shot in the face and walk it off while pumping his fists.

Real man stuff. You probably don’t respect it or understand it. But there’s a big wide world outside of your suburban book club.

Real men don’t cheat with hookers. Even in the big wide world outside my book club.

To me I think of those poor SS agents who literally have to get between him and the next bullet and he would rather have his moment than listen to them. It to me symbolizes his selfishness and how our systems enable him.

I am glad he’s ok. I am a for gun control and against violence of all kinds. But this event was a loss of life for at least one innocent person and the reason it wasn’t worse was because of the actions of a group of highly trained professionals- not Trump.

He pumped his fist after the shooter was killed. SS knew he was dead because they got an “All Clear” before moving Trump. You know this, so stop gaslighting us and condemning a man for bravely letting his supporters know he’s okay after getting shot in the face. You’re just scolding him to deflect from your deep shame and cowardice.

The SS knows there’s a chance of a second shooter or a coordinated attack which is why they are covering him with their bodies and trying to remove him from the scene. No one thought oh we are all good here, let’s get the rally going again. They are literally being used as human shields and he’s fighting them for a photo op. And people like it. Insane.

If I was shot in the face I would hope no one would Monday Morning Quarterback my defiant reactions. You sound like a total coward tbh.

+1

I'm not a Trump guy, but his pushing away secret service so that he could communicate with the crowd right after he got shot in the face is so obviously badass that I don't know how anyone could see it differently.

This must be a male/female difference. As a woman, I saw that as a reckless and dangerous (for him) move--even if he had been told the danger was over. But then I'm risk averse and am always playing it safe in life.

I am anti-Trump and I think his fist pump is both unequivocally badass and pure political genius. The photo of that fist in the air framed by the American flag, blood on his face after surviving a very serious attempt on his life, is absolutely historic. And in the end, it doesn't matter what DCUM thinks about this act - what matters is how American voters view it. Americans who love their machismo, their sports, and their crude symbolism will eat this up. In the end, this is a huge boost to Trump's campaign and his image.

In other words, the low IQ, low information voters will eat this up. No surprise.

Correct. They can vote too.

nah. Their solution is always more guns. The irony, of course, is that people who attend rallies are not allowed to bring in guns.

Do you think a gun nutter whose child died from a shooting, accidental or not, wants more gun control? Nope.

More than likely, the shooter has mental health issues, same as the guy who shot at Reagan. But, gun nutters still think it's fine for mentally ill people to get access to guns.

And

"wE DoNT HaVE a GuN ProBLEm, We HAvE A MeNTaL HeaLTh ProBLeM"

oh, okay then let's deal with mental health!

The shooter’s father was a therapist.

Shooter's father is also a registered Libertarian

Grazed by a bullet in the ear is not shot in the face.

I 100% disagree. Liberals are not calling for violence. It is all conservatives who are spouting violence and demonizing liberals.

Liberals have denounced violence. Biden isn't calling for violence, Harris isn't calling for violence, Schumer isn't calling for violence, Jeffries isn't calling for violence, no prominent Democrats of any degree of influence are calling for violence. Republicans trying to claim we're calling for violence are only projecting their own violent tendencies onto others.

Might want to revise your view:


“ Goldman, who represents New York's 10th Congressional District, discussed Trump's connection to the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol during a Sunday appearance on MSNBC's Inside With Jen Psaki. A former prosecutor who worked on Trump's first impeachment inquiry in the House, Goldman has been a staunch critic of the former president's handling of his defeat in the 2020 election.

He told Psaki that Trump should never hold office again because of his denial of the 2020 race's results, which a federal indictment says led to efforts to overturn the election, culminating in the January 6 riot. But Goldman's choice of words brought widespread condemnation on social media.

"His rhetoric is really getting dangerous, more and more dangerous," the congressman said. "And we saw what happened on January 6. When he uses inflammatory rhetoric now, and his recent Truth Social posts, is incredibly, incredibly scary for anyone that might be trying to work in government.

"It is just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit. He is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated," Goldman said.

Newsweek reached out to Goldman's office and Trump's campaign for comment via email.

Schoolchildren, churchgoers, sleeping mothers, and Presidents/Candidates. In this great country, anyone can grow up to be shot by a semiautomatic rifle.

This will only drive more people to want to own their own guns. Because at the end of the day, you have to protect yourself.

How does that help against an AR?

You're right. Many of us who vote on issues and facts don't understand voting on feelings.

PS. If you think this is what a "real man" looks like, I a sorry for you.

Dude was a lib tard

Shooter was a registered Republican wearing the shirt of a libertarian 2A youtuber, and the shooter's own instagram profile looks like a QAnoner, with "praise the lord" and "take down Epstein's evil empire"

And donated to Act Blue the day of Biden’s inauguration.




ActBlue Charities Inc. is an American political action committee and fundraising platform established for serving left-leaning and Democratic nonprofits and politicians.

Fake news. Anyone could create this. He was a registered Republican and it destroys your argument. You know this which is why you are desperately trying to spin this fact.

“The gunman did not have a criminal history reflected in Pennsylvania’s public court records, and officials said they had not identified a motive. A voter-registration record showed that Mr. Crooks was registered as a Republican, though federal campaign-finance records show he donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a liberal voter turnout group, through the Democratic donation platform ActBlue in January 2021.”

It seems you struggle with context. Keep trying, and it yet may come.

You might need to revise your view because it was denounced.

Look at the culture this guy was immersed in. From the same website that sold him that shirt:

When are gun enthusiasts & 2A influencers going to address the violent rhetoric espoused by their problematic culture? It’s sick.

Real men don’t cheat with hookers. Even in the big wide world outside my book club.

Real men don't whine.

Real men aren't sore losers.

Real men are good fathers and husbands, not serial cheaters.

Real men are kind.

Real men put others before themselves.

Real men admit failure.
