[Politics] Trump under fire.

[Guinness Boy]

Trump has a new theory on the assassination:

Trump muses his auto industry rhetoric 'is probably why I get shot at'

“Every auto worker here will be out of a job within three years if I’m not elected,\

www.detroitnews.com

Apparently Mexican auto workers are behind it!

The bloke is absolutely nuts, but calling it a theory is a little generous. It's just another lie that will be lapped up by the simple who won't bother thinking about it.

That's a pretty large target audience in the good ole USA! Make America Gullible Again, isn't it?

For all their exposure and experience with guns, they’re really shit with assassinations.

Again.

 

[5Ways Gull]

Following the incident his condition is described as unsatisfactory.

 

[The Clamp]

Will he “get shot at” now everytime he needs to boost his profile?

 

[studio150]

Gunshots in the vicinity of Trump, and Trump issues an update saying he will never surrender in a fundraising email.

I may be cynical but I doubt that the person in custody even fired a shot, let alone was trying to kill Trump.

Attacks Taylor Swift, behind in the polls, probably a set up to enable Trump to shout out that he is the President who has survived the most assassination attempts, and it must be Gods will that is saving him.

Trump is pissed off as he was about to get his third hole in one of the day on a par 5

What I want to know from the conspiracy theorists is this; where are they finding these willing patsies who are now either dead (last time) or in custody (this time) prepared to sacrifice their life for faking an assassination attempt?

 

[jcdenton08]

In this study, it is concluded that conspiracy theorists were correlated with “nearly all” of those who have a personality disorder.

Most studies conclude that “mental illness” isn’t a primary factor in belief in conspiracy theories, but rather “social issues”. People with NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) are on average 16x more likely to harbour paranoid conspiracies than those who are not diagnosed with a personality disorder.

3rd time lucky, maybe?

Sad state of affairs when there is violence against our politicians. Freedom of speech is more important than agreeing with everyone’s views. I hope we never see a PM or President (again) assassinated.

I agree. But there is no evidence yet that it was directed towards Trump, and some reports say that the only gunshot fired was by the Secret Service.

Which reports please?

 

[A1X]

Of course it shouldn’t happen. But as said before, if someone wanted to blow Trump’s brains out they’d need to be a bloody good shot.

 

[Easy 10]

I was still a bit chinny reckon on the first one tbh, being as he got such great pics out of it, and seems to have grown a new ear.

This latest one, after he got proper slapped in the debate a few days ago...good timing for another "heroic defiant" boost to a flagging campaign innit. Trump is a professional liar. I struggle to believe or take at face value anything he is involved in.

 

[Soton Seagull]

In a country of so many million guns, how come only the Mr Magoos try and shoot Trump?
