There's been another assassination attempt on Trump

[Hazelelponi]

Kill someone over something a politician said?

You think that’s justified???

are you serious????

It's the cult of death what did we expect.

When this year's DNC was kicked off with human sacrifice we can't expect humanity.

People do not go around assassinating persons they do not like... for whatever reason.
If that were the case, there would be three times as much murders a day.

The reason persons would attempt taking out Mr. Trump is because they are against his policies, which will be implimented if he is elected president.
Thus, if Mr. Trump is taken out, he has no chance of implementing such policies.
People do not seem concerned about any other candidate that would run in his place.

Assassination attempts and plots on the President of the United States have been numerous, ranging from the early 19th century to the present day.
This article lists assassinations and assassination attempts on incumbent and former presidents and presidents-elect, but not on those who had not yet been elected president.

On January 30, 1835, Andrew Jackson was the first president to experience an assassination attempt when Richard Lawrence twice tried to shoot him in the East Portico of the Capitol after Jackson left a funeral held in the House of Representatives Chamber. The attempt failed when both of Lawrence's pistols misfired.

Four sitting presidents have been killed: Abraham Lincoln (1865, by John Wilkes Booth), James A. Garfield (1881, by Charles J. Guiteau), William McKinley (1901, by Leon Czolgosz), and John F. Kennedy (1963, by Lee Harvey Oswald). Ronald Reagan (1981, by John Hinckley Jr.) is the only U.S. president to have been injured in an assassination attempt while in office and survive. Two former presidents, Theodore Roosevelt (1912, by John Schrank) and 2024 have also been injured in attacks.

In all of these cases, the attacker's weapon was a firearm, and all the subjects were male. Gerald Ford experienced two attempted assassinations with a woman as the assailant.

Many assassination attempts, both successful and unsuccessful, were motivated by a desire to change the policy of the American government. Not all such attacks, however, had political reasons. Many other attackers had questionable mental stability, and a few were judged legally insane. Historian James W. Clarke suggests that most assassination attempters have been sane and politically motivated, whereas the Department of Justice's legal manual claims that a large majority has been insane. Some assassins, especially mentally ill ones, acted solely on their own, whereas those pursuing political agendas have more often found supporting conspirators. Most assassination plotters were arrested and punished by execution or lengthy detention in a prison or insane asylum.

Adults are still responsible for their actions. They can’t point the finger at someone else and said THEY made me do it.

This is very true. But it’s not so much the people saying ‘Mr Trump made me do it’ and other people saying ‘Mr Trump knows that morons will do moronic and dangerous things when Mr Trump eggs them on’.

Mr Trump knows that people are easily swayed and uses that to his advantage and to the detriment of America.

Obi Wan is a fictional character. I’m not sure he fits the profile of the very real Mr Trump.

Thus, if Mr. Trump is taken out, he has no chance of implementing such policies.

Yesterday in another thread I mentioned how Routh is strongly pro-Ukraine and based on what he was posting on social media, his motivation to assassinate Trump would most likely be because of Trump's lack of support for defending Ukraine in the war. Apparently he was afraid that Trump may win the election in November and implement a policy that would discontinue the United States' support for Ukraine.

That certainly would be a strong motivator.
Fear drives people to insanity, or to any lawless action, regardless of the consequences.

Wait a minute. Are you really going to sit there and tell me that Trump isn't Darth Vader?

 

[BPPLEE]

There appears to be a bounty on Mr. Trump's head.

Iran stands to lose billions if Trump is elected. They could easily pay in the tens to hundreds millions

 

[Larniavc]

He’s an ace fighter pilot, expert fencer, strategist who commands respect of this underlings with the Force at his side.

Does that sound like Mr Trump?

Congratulations to the FBI and Secret Service for promptly apprehending the gunman.
I have tremendous admiration for these heroes, given the difficult task of defending a candidate who provokes anger and loathing due to his uncontrollable behavior.

Through doubling down on vicious lies, he angered many Haitian immigrants and a whole town that's been endangered and besieged.

That's 60,000 people with motives right there-lives disrupted by his lies.

The candidate needs to respect the people protecting him, not make their jobs more difficult.

May he choose to recover from this incident in a period of self reflection, acknowledging his responsibility to rein in his behavior.

Thus is absurd! There are far too many powerful people with motive and means to eliminate Trump than some disgruntled illegal immigrants. Just research the latest would be assassin’s ties to Ukraine. Liberal venomous hatred spewed towards Trump is far more likely to be responsible than disgruntled illegal immagrants. .

....and congrats to the Secret Service agent that spotted the rifle in the tree line and took pro-active action to avert a disaster. It would appear the Secret Service did it's job well this time. The agent was reportedly one hole in advance of Trump...in the area of the 5th and 7th holes.

Note: A golf course is an inherently difficult terrain to defend. Wide open fairlways, proximity to two public streets (i.e. the tree line), etc.

I thought it was because he could strangle people from across the room.

Last I heard, Iran placed an $80,000,000 bounty on Trump's head for killing General Soleimani.

I am merely pointing out that any candidate as confrontational as the Republican candidate is more likely to attract the unhinged and potentially violent. That's just common sense.
If he doesn't want to tone it down for his own safety, he should consider his security detail and their families, or innocent bystanders who could get caught in the crossfire.

IMHO your claim is biased against a conservative past president Donald J. Trump that you dislike, and IMHO your statement is shut up or get shot instead of condemning the criminal acts that took place against Donald J. Trump

This is just more proof that liberalism as manifest by far left leadership is a detriment to this nation. The ones charging Trump with being like Hitler are the ones most like him. The ones claiming Trump is a threat to Democracy are ones who are the biggest threat. In most cases what ever liberal leadership charge others with doing they are already doing.

I Agree Dan, the leftist MSM needs to be taken to court in many cases and be held liable for their criminal threats and actions

 

[DaisyDay]

The left has been saying his rhetoric is causing violence while they compare him to Hitler and call him a threat to Democracy.
I would take them more seriously if they weren't doing the same thing.

His own VP called him "an American Hitler", so....

 

[Hazelelponi]

It would appear the Secret Service did it's job well this time

I appears I disagree with you.

It's estimated the second would be assassin was 300 yards from Trump.

Before Trump is exposed to the wild the SS is responsible for securing the area. This means making sure any and every position that Trump can be shot from is secured.

Clearly, they didn't bother, it's a miracle this was stopped since it appears nothing more than dumb luck the shooter was even spotted. (All praise, glory and honor be to God)

So my question is, is the SS just going to let every dangerous terrorist take shots at Trump until November?

Taking shots at Trump appears to be sport at this point. Is there a betting pool going at the SS or what?

When are they going to ACTUALLY do their job?

What are they getting paid to neglect their duties?
