Trump is ‘safe following gunshots in his vicinity,’ campaign says in statement | CNN Politics
lol he was shot at again, this time while he was playing golf.
Just gonna echo what JD vance said about school shootings... "This is just a fact of life"
I've never thought about it, but a golf course really is a great environment for that sort of thing...
You forgot the best one: Target-rich environment
both target-rich and rich target environment
No one notices if you're in there for like 12 hours
I dunno about this one, I don't look like an 80 year old war criminal or billionaire I don't think they let just anyone loiter
But to blend in - you have to wear golf clothes.
What if Trump getting shot at just becomes his thing, like how Bolsonaro's thing is being hospitalized
lol now every firework and car backfiring in 5km of him is a national incident
Bit idea: Trump rally fire crackers.
Today we celebrate our independence!! 🧨🧨🧨
News from the future
"Trump was uninjured after Secret Service agents pushed him to the ground for safety after a loud 'explosions' were heard." Sometime later "It has been determined that children were setting off fireworks in the vicinity..." And they interview some MAGA doofus. "They say it was fireworks like bottle rockets. I know what I heard. It wasn't fffffffttt it was fffffffgrtt. It was Iran."
or acorn, or particularly sharp crack from a golf stroke
There was an incident in Times Square a day or two after a public mass shooting. Some guy’s motorcycle backfired and it caused everyone in the area the run the opposite direction. CCTV captured everything and the place was empty afterwards
don't forget about acorns landing on windshields
All those guns, yet Americans can't seem to hit shit.
What happens when they're just for show of power not being useful
It really shows that the fear of armed fascists in the US is a bit overblown. The days of the White League taking over government buildings is long gone and instead you get whatever this is.
I wouldn't say that; and no disrespect to you, but I think it's irresponsible and dangerous to allow this notion to be pushed, in the sense of undermining vigilance. The US objectively has the most, and the largest, organized armed fascist militias in the world. Most of them just aren't adventurist dipshits. (Also this guy seems to be a radical neolib rather than a political fascist, which is honestly very funny.)
But just as there are adventurist provocateur dipshits on the left, as well as shrewd Marxists who denounce individual acts of violence or terror as adventurism that only alienates the public from us and gives an excuse and support for hyper-violent suppression of the left by the state; there are also adventurist provocateur dipshits on the far right, as well as shrewd fascists who denounce individual acts of violence and terror for the same, and are instead quietly training and movement-building; keeping their activities such that half the people in their life and at their jobs don't even know they're murderous racists. For every group of neo-nazi oo-rah chestbeaters you see on the street, and every lone-worm mass-shooter, there are 100 groups and 1000s of shrewd fascists, quietly growing their base, who are infinitely more dangerous. And it's worth holding that in mind.
unbearably funny to me how the first assassination came with a sick photo and bump in the polls and now no one (aside from hogs) gives a fuck if it happens again lmfao
How can two gunmen both fail.
Please go to the range and practice before you do adventurism people. Make sure to add in some stress practice because when it comes to actual action your body is going to going into stress hyperdrive.
"Train harder than you play"
I think a lot of people are just underestimating how hard it is to shoot a gun.
This guy apparently was taking pot shots from several holes away.
I think most people severely underestimate it, yeah. I was watching an anime with a British friend the other day, and he referred to an untrained civilian whiffing several close range shots with a pistol as "plot armor" on the part of the character being shot at. And I was just like "buddy you have no idea how hard that shit is" lol I almost went into a rant about how I have missed shots at exactly that range against a bigger target while under no stress and bracing the pistol against a solid object
Idk i went shooting once and it was easy for me, i guess i just continue to be built different
How can two gunmen both fail.
Go look at how poorly the US did in the Olympics. The US is a spray and pray nation lol
secret service noticed him before trump got close. I mean he was in range where if he had a clear shot he could maybe have gotten trump, but he was presumably waiting for trump to come closer when the SS started firing at him.
He seemed really shaken by the assassination attempt, some staffer said he obsessed over it to the point of rewatching the video of it on loop, so if people keep popping off around him he might seriously break down.
Motherfuckers be skipping range day too often now.
I knew the outdoor rally shooter was a chud from jump. Chuds go for the head, leftists know to aim for center of mass.
Gotta get that canoe
GOOD POST
I did everything wrong and they shot at meeeee
lmao
I think his supporters will just start popping one off in his vicinity to try and boost his numbers.
Probably a swiftie
Any shooter going after Trump is one less shooter at a school.
Oh no did they get the other ear?
Sadly he's fine
Jesus is this guy really that hard to hit?
they're not aiming for the widest part
Cops always say to aim for center mass, when you really should be aiming for center ass.
300-400m isn't a very easy shot. Thomas Matthew Crooks had the wrong tool for the job as his cheap Palmetto State AR had variation of 5in at 140yds, so he could have had perfect aim and it wouldn't have mattered. That said, this is why you shoot for the CoM.
The New York Post said it was an AK-47. I don't know why that makes it funnier for me but it does.
That was so weird for me. I expected angry and bombastic Trump who maybe was even ranting like a disturbed person. Instead - it's standup Trump doing a "lemme tell ya something" aside. His voice even gets thin at the end because he's amused himself and he's almost chuckling.

Ackshully it was an AKM
They've since stated that the SS agent is the only one who fired.
My hot take guess is that this person was a second amendment open carry auditor, you are allowed to carry basically any firearm in Florida as long as you are actively fishing or traveling to/from the location you will be fishing.
The suspect fled the scene in a vehicle and was taken into custody during a traffic stop
Please be a golf cart
Or maybe it was
it was a black suv unfortunately, but he made it as far as the interstate
I hope it was a riding mower.
i need an emergency
episode on this guyBro is the literal perfect neolib, created in a lab.
lol cheapskate won't even pay for plane tickets for his ukrainian mercenaries.
In June 2022, Ryan Routh hung Taiwan flags in Kyiv to display that Taiwan had support for Ukraine. You could not create a more NATO guy in a lab.
Ryan Routh, told CNA that he posted the flags to pay tribute to the nations that have citizens fighting in Ukraine's foreign legion
Routh said there have been no protests about the presence of the Taiwan flag so far, but even if China is dissatisfied, "I can order another 1,000, they can't touch my flags."
He came to Kyiv more than two months ago to show his support for Ukraine and wanted to join the foreign legion
However, due to his age, he was unable to do so
Routh has assisted in recruiting 70 volunteers to join the fight against Russia.
He told the news agency that he included Taiwan's flag because he had met at least five Taiwanese volunteers serving in the legion over the past two months
I think it's fair to say this will keep happening again and again until it won't, for any number of reasons.
Unlimited assassination on Trump!
Trump in his 50 cent era
all of this is so funny.
Funniest outcome is that it was an open carry chud that the Secret Sevice shot at, because the last time made them look bad so they're on edge. Guy will probably have an "I still love the truck" attitude
I'm sure a lot of people want to shoot Trump, so it's actually very considerate of the Trump shooters to both miss, preserving this scarce resource for other future shooters.
copycats are out in force, at least theyre not shooting at kids anymore
you reap what you sow.
I'm not mad, just disappointed.
so what's the
thought on the (alleged) shooter's twitter account?what i've gathered from scrolling through his twitter account:
edit:
also extremely anti-china, pro-taiwan independence, former tulsi-crank, mccaine voter, became a weird ramaswamy guy, asked elon if he could buy a rocket to fire at putin.
hasan is also playing a video rn where he's going around on the street randomly asking people to sign up for something (i think fighting for ukraine), and saying he's looking for revolutionaries???
edit 2:
Elite US-trained Afghan soldiers want to fight for Ukraine (posted 1yr ago)
he appears around the 3 minute mark lmao
Here I was thinking the first Ukraine assassination was going to be done by Azov in Europe but no it turns out to be a white guy in fucking Florida
Link to the acc? (Ideally archived)
- he's a huge NATO guy
- fanatically obsessed with ukraine
- extremely mentally unwell
why did you say the same thing 3 times?
Praying it's an Iranian sleeper agent revenge for Soleimani
Rumour is it’s a lib: https://x.com/karol/status/1835424126481437071
😌
Probably just a golfer chud losing their temper. Many such cases
Could also be an old-timey prospector firing his guns off in the air in celebration when he gets the ball in the hole.
Why was he even following the gunshots in his vicinity?
OK yeah. So I’m starting to think that these types keep missing because they have no strategy whatsoever and are probably working alone/not thinking clearly
I don't think he even shot, I think he was wandering around with a gun and the feds started blasting
Apparently this guy's strategy was to sit in a bush 500 meters away from Trump, and take potshots at him with an AK style assualt rifle with a crappy scope mounted on the top. You know, the kind of thing that only works in Call Of Duty videogames. I don't think he even got his first shots away.
the advance secret service team was a full hole ahead and spotted him is what I'm hearing. Makes more sense from all sides

Critical support to trophy hunters switching to vegan alternatives.
Third time's the charm. I really want the next shooter to succeed with a hand-made weapon, just to ridicule the previous two assault rifle losers.
Doohicky stay winning.
a hand-made weapon

In the event where this was fake: Really goes to show just how mask-off bourgeoisie elections have gotten that they’re not even pretending to respect the very institutions they champion. Thanks Dubya for being the Catalyst to this.
In the event a leftist did this:
Stop doing wanton adventurism
Yeah I definitely breathed a sigh of relief when it became clear that last month's shooter couldn't be associated with us
That neckgina though 😳🥵
an AK guy, good taste
It appears he voted trump in 2016 https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/ryan-wesley-routh-voted-trump-33675239
unfortunate.
It'd be really funny if he won and then implemented strict gun control.
It’s the only way for republicans to actually get on board
Really makes you go 🤔
Isn't Florida an open carry state?
