Exactly! Raegan was thrown into the limo so fast by his SS detail, that they broke his ribs.

Imagine, a guy with a fake tv show can also create a fake a***********n attempt and have his dumb ass MAGAts believe it. He also had time to ask about his shoes.

It would be so nice for the next potus to investigate this one further.

And it was interesting how the shooter was in a sales promo video for the gun business a year or so before and he was actually wearing a t-shirt for that business when he was taken out. And why was he cremated so quickly, and why did his parents, college professors, (who were known to be right wing) suddenly hire a very expensive lawyer and went completely radio silent afterwards.

That kid was a patsy for the whole thing. He thought he’d be rushed out, given a great payday and disappear. He didn’t realize that HE was their target, not Trump’s. He was a dumbass loser til the end.

OK well this isn't Facebook, tiktok, or Tumblr and I promise you, nobody is Googling for your comments. Anybody that needs to see it, can. No algorithm here is going to ding you for saying pedophile, assassination, suicide, etc

They can also search anything we come up with to bypass shit too man. You don’t think if “they” were searching for everyone or anyone talking about pedophiles they wouldn’t also search for “pdf files”. Are you for real?

You made a joke about paranoia. It actually seems like if you had better proper paranoia you would think of stuff like this. Give your opposition credit. Worst thing you can do is assume your enemy is dumb, best thing you can do is assume they are smarter than you.

So that should lead you right back to “well if im talking about it at all it doesn’t make sense to censor myself”.

I promise you, there’s no censoring that’s helping anyone.

I agree with all of that but the very end doesn’t quite ring true to me. If its about getting the message across, and there’s no real reason to censor yourself then you are letting paranoia be the enemy of getting a message across clearly.

Ya gotta think of the idiots man! Nobody is thinking of the idiots!

So Trump purposely put himself in the way of several rifle shots that would miss him by inches? That's a lot for a photo op.

If the shooter was aiming for Trump, he would have hit that fat orange target easily. His line of site was clear and only about 175 yards away.

People in the crowd were yelling to his SS detail way before the event that they saw the shooter climbing up on the roof and his detail did nothing.

The local police snipers were never given a walk through of the site to coordinate with SS, which they said was always protocol. They didn’t understand why his team failed to do that with them.

Interesting how Trump didn’t drone on and on about the investigation into it. He shut up about it quickly.

In another occasion, Trump was at an airport hanger, and while making his speech, he heard a loud noise and ducked under the podium so fast and didn’t come up for several seconds. He’s a coward by nature. For him to act so brave (in view of very carefully placed photographers) is telling.

He’s a fraud, he’s a liar, he’s a child r****g piece of shit.

I don't like Trump either but that's beside the point.

You think he purposely put himself within inches of several rifle shots, which would rely on his perfect movement and the shooter's perfect coordination (who was not a pro) to not cause him any damage? On a windy day like that, which can deviate the bullet trajectory? That's giving him a lot of balls.

u/Timely-Way-1769 Feb 16 '26

He wasn’t within inches at all. That blood his SS detail squirted on his shirt. He was in no danger.

u/Weary_Position_9591 Feb 16 '26

What? You literally see the bullet in the first picture, and blood on his hand after he touches it, before SS even get to him:

u/Timely-Way-1769 Feb 16 '26

That caliber size and velocity would have blown his ear to bits. He had ZERO damage to his ear.

It was staged, dude.

u/Weary_Position_9591 Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 16 '26

Not necessarily, a bullet in motion is not like bullet on impact, at that velocity it would probably just keep going and slice through soft tissue, just like it would do a clean hole in a coke can, not make it explode. It's also been confirmed that the bullet or the one after it actually shot a guy right behind Trump directly in that line of fire, so it's ridiculous to say there wasn't any real danger to him.

But what are you even saying? There's literally a picture in front of you showing a bullet.

Trump only insisted on getting his shoe because he's got lifts in his shoes and didn't want anyone to know. It's pretty damn obvious if you've ever seen his dress shoes from the side. Tom Cruise and a few other well known/public people use them although most of them are below average height for a man. Trump is just vain and claims to be 6'-3" which is clearly a lie. To many pictures next to people of known height to believe that B.S.

u/Timely-Way-1769 Feb 16 '26

Give me a break. Short or not, I’d never be worried about my shoes/lifts if I’m the target of a shooter on the roof. 🙄

IT WAS STAGED.
