Agreed. But Trump is going to politicize this for as many news cycles as possible, likely starting tonight.
Trump is saying it got hit by a bullet. His quote. He felt it "ripping through his skin". He's going to play this narrative for months. God help America.
Trump is already quoted as saying "he felt the bullet pierce his flesh" and Don jr is quoted as saying nothing "radical leftists" can throw at his dad can stop him. Reports are an Ak-47 style weapon was found. I guess it jammed. Worst case is that MAGAs think this means it's open season on liberals like they've been planning for November. I don't think Trump is going to ask them to wait. Cnn is both sidesing. I don't remember the democrats claiming a vast conspiracy of a deep state that has to be taken down though violence and 2nd amendment solutions. Not good.
Unfortunately the progressives don't have a vast network of TV channels and radio hosts that can say trump himself came up with the failed assassination approach to win more voters, and they turned off a few metal detectors and paid off an illegal to shoot a few bullets in the air and and it's complete false flag. I mean that's exactly the kind of thing Rogan made his billions off of.
Actually local DC Fox just had a producer on talking about how this showed how tough and strong Trump is.
No, seriously. I suspect that in many tax free churches throughout this country there will be sermons about how God protected Trump to save us from liberals and abortions.
On June 26, 1934, Congress passed the National Firearms Act (NFA), since amended, to limit the availability of machine guns, short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, sound suppressors (silencers), and other similar weapons that were often used by criminals during the Prohibition Era.
I'm sure there's going to be a lot of this in the next few weeks. He got grazed by a bullet, and didn't die, so he's Superman. A lot like how Giuliani was a great mayor because nothing landed on his head.
I'm sure MTG will be by in a minute to apologize. Which political party takes family pictures in front of the Christmas tree fully loaded again?
It actually feels like an inevitable outcome of the last 8 years. I doubt this will be the end of it.

Multiple news outlets are saying 1 dead, and 2 (critically) injured. The dead is the shooter. btw, one thing we can't rule out is suicide by cop.
