The actual American flag has two sides to it. Patches on the US Army sleeves will show the back side of the flag if it on the right shoulder because they want the flag to always appear moving in the forward direction. So many Army-influenced shirts will have the US flag in this orientation. The shirt appears to be from a fairly conservative gun channel on YouTube: That doesn't guarantee his politics - he could be wearing that to hide his true intentions or he could be a left-wing gun nut.
Only if you mean insiders wanted Trump dead. It is insanity to think putting a bullet near a head is done to help Trump.
My hot take I am kind of glad he survived it, otherwise the GOP might have selected a young, more acceptable candidate like Trump's apparent VP nom, JD Vance. Though the chaos with their convention next week would have been something.
I always find it weird the logic of if so and so candidate wins it’ll be the end of democracy when said candidate spent 4 years in office and there still is a “democracy” intact
Who on the inside wants him dead? And for those who think it was a deliberate stunt to help him (a Reichstag fire event), consider the distance and how millimeters matter. If the orange idiot had moved slightly he would now be dead. It would be insane to do this on purpose as a way to help him.
Let’s say everything about Jan 6th is true, how exactly is he going to manage getting a 3rd term? He would be 82 also. Not even Frank Underwood could pull that off
This is not up for debate. All the evidence is there for anyone to see. Ignoring it does not make it not exist. Be creative. Tyrants always find a way.
Before the recent Supreme Court ruling, he would have to create some sort of emergency that would require him to hold emergency powers that nullify or cancel any election. That was his plan after he lost the last election, but it didn't work. He doesn't have to do that now. He can just do anything he wants with the flimsiest excuse and you cannot even question it, let alone take him to court. He could send any Democratic rival to Guantanamo and say it was for their protection, and that if anyone replaced them they would also be sent to Guantanamo for their protection. What do you do then?
I do find it funny that people imagine Trump will care one iota about the 22nd Amendment should he really be interested in a third term. Is there some other Donald Trump I am not aware of?
There was a time when the shooter/patsy was trained by the Marine Corps, America is truly in decline.
So “DEI secret service” has now entered social media. Surprised it took that long (actually..I’m totally not surprised it took long).
Party registration in closed primary states can often mean that someone has registered as a different party to vote in meaningful/competitive primary races. I don’t know the politics of Bethel Park, but my home state had closed primaries when I was a late teen and since our local electorate skewed 80/20 GOP/Dem, I was a “Republican”.
At 82, Trump will simply put one of his children on the ballot, put pillow guy in charge of the elections and viola, president Ivanka wins with 89% of the votes.
Look, none of your logical arguments about voter registration and t-shirts is going to convince any trump voter that Biden didn't send antifa to shoot Trump. They live in a post fact society.
CNN is also reporting that he had donated to a group called “Progressive Turnout Project “ according to FEC records.
They put a bullseye on Gabby Giffords and then after she was shot we got Repubs screaming it was being taken out of context.
The story now is that Trump wasn’t hit with a bullet. It was a piece of shattered glass that nicked his ear. Possibly from the teleprompter?!
He tried and the adults in the room and civil service got in his way. His Project 2025 shows a clear path for clearing out anyone who would stand in his way this time around.
I do hope that the Feds and law enforcement in general are very vigilant in the days and weeks to come because the chance of retaliatory (political) violence is a near certainty imho.
