Sad day, indeed!
His victory has now been sealed!
People are fed up with the hate. They see Trump never giving up on the American people. When did any President fight for America like this?
Is this a joke? He is the one who has brought the hate. Already forgotten Jan 6th, have you? Leaving office and refusing to welcome your successor. He does nothing but spew hate. Now he’ll be a national hero for reaping what he sowed.
Fight for America..ha. His America is not one I recognize or want to live in.

I know people who live in Bethel Park. I’m going to wait until later and see if anyone I know up there knew the shooter. But I’m not posting what they tell me on here. I’ll be watching the FBI briefings.

He is very lucky to be alive.

The FBI said the shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was immediately killed by the Secret Service.
Shooter was a registered republican
Thomas Crooks donated $15 to Act Blue the day Biden was inaugurated.
His father, a counselor, donated $225 to the DNC in 2023.
It seems likely the shooter registered as a republican to vote against Trump in the primary.
Let law enforcement release information about this. They have only released his name. Speculation is contributing to these violent incidents. Right now, I would hope everyone would want these shootings to stop now.
We have records we can access. Anyone can verify these things.

I’ve seen people panic in that situation and he clearly did not (and apparently really likes his shoes.). Why didn’t the crowd panic/stampede? Especially if someone was shot dead? Was that part of the crowd not visible? I don’t buy any conspiracy theories. I’m sad to see the left (my democrats) have fanned the flames as badly as the right, to have created this tragedy.
People freeze when they are shocked.
And security personnel were telling them to stay down.
I am surprised that USSS weren’t able to hustle him off faster. From all I’ve read about and heard from them, when something like this happens, the protectee no longer has agency, they are manhandled away to safety.
I am not second judging the SS following the shooting. I think they did a spectacular job.
The patriotic banner across the front of the stage is actually a bullet proof panel. When the shooting happened, Trump dropped down below the panel. He no doubt has been told to do that. The SS kept him down until they got word the shooter was "down." You can hear it on camera. Then they pretty much wrapped themselves around him just to be safe.
They are heroes.

That’s not how protection of former presidents has ever worked. Ever.
Listen to the reports. The oversight was clearly on the part of the local law enforcement who attendees described were untrained and inadequate to neutralize the threat, not with the SS.

This thread is sad and a true example of how far discourse has fallen in this country. I’m truly appalled at how many people think he staged this. And how many people are quick to make thinly veiled statements that he deserved it. Is this who we want to be as a people?
And I know exactly what these people would say back to me ‘he started it.’ Reminds me of when the republican congress members were shot at in Alexandria and everyone did the same thing. It’s depressing and frankly these people should be ashamed of themselves. They won’t have that insight. But they should.

Look I don't love Biden at all, but Trump is a spoiled silver spoon who has had everything handed to him, and has made a career out of squeezing the most of regular people, for as much as he can get. I am baffled how anyone thinks he cares about regular Americans.
Is it his words? Because it sure as hell isn't his actions.
Look at these posts. Trump eluded death by millimeters and these people just keep going.
