He looks like a saint now thanks to the shooter
Yeah that’s the problem; this has probably clinched the election for him as he can play into martyrdom.
From other fediverse coverage: https://beehaw.org/comment/3717663
Didn't see this when I made my comment but yeah. Reeks of the reagan playbook
Trump’s pretty crazy but I don’t think he’s “plan to intentionally get grazed by a bullet” crazy.
This was done by an actual bullet. Other people present were also shot.
Fatally
Ask yourself. What motive does someone have to want trump dead?
Hint: a large number of someones have a large number of motives
I think Nancy was the one who had a relationship with the shooter...
The whole thing just feels a little hinky to me, but I agree with you in doubting that trump planned it. That said, keep an ear out for lines from ronnie's speeches
If you are gonna fake something like this, you wouldn't actually shoot a bullet, you'd use a blank and some tiny blood pack like they use in movies.
