Only another bullet can stop Trump's re-election!

Just saying, many are claiming this to be miraculous, divine Providence!

Then they should realize someone was killed and a couple seriously injured. Hardly a miracle for those people and their families.

If you think the assassination attempt is reminiscent of a non-sequitur, then clearly my reply will mean nothing to you.

Oh well. Life goes on.

Right you are! Most of your replies mean nothing to me.

You are too much an inhabitant of make-pretend land, I fear.

That is their shame. I won't emulate them.

Deification is relative to the people who are willing to go there. People who haven't been already put him on that pedestal aren't likely to.



While I am impressed by his foresight in standing and raising a fist in defiance after nearly being killed, it doesn't really change my opinion of him or his politics, and I know I am not alone. I hope maybe the incident might force a large amount of introspection on his part and maybe soften his speech a bit. But I am not going to bet my vote on it. His policies are dangerous and are taking America away from both its ethos of "liberty and justice for all" and progress towards efficient and healthy management of resources.



Biden has his record as a President. There are negatives in it, but comparatively he's done fairly well.

I suspect once the shock of an assassination attempt wears off, this "martyrdom" is going to be restricted to his core base. That's especially if he doesn't change his public image. He might have a shot of winning new votes if he openly becomes introspective and softens some of his language.

But you have to remember, this is still Trump with criminal convictions, indictments dealing with national security, a relationship with authoritarian strongmen, is a threat to women's health and the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities, and attempted to thwart the peaceful tranfer of power that led to January 6th. Looking strong after getting grazed by a bullet doesn't change these things.

I do hope this will cause Trump to become a more altruistic, compassionate person, realizing how close each day might be to his last.... and even though he was given another day, what about the people that are dead because of him.

I hope he realizes he is the reason those lifeless bodies will be lowered into the earth, and were it not for him they would still be alive.

His words , his treatment of others, and any attempt on his life, puts other lives in danger... people were successfully killed, their loved ones lives changed forever with sorrow, their dreams stolen.

I do wonder if Trump thinks about this and will it affect how he treats people?

A stupid claim! To suppose that God would save Trump and allow an innocent bystander to be killed instantly -- and call it a "miracle?" Daft!

You can pretty much guarantee another attempt will be made and I can pretty much guarantee the secret service will be ready for it.

Welcome to the revitalization of the age of political assassinations. It's getting popular now in the world , particularly with certain groups of people with particular political dispositions.

And/or it's another mass shooting in a country where mass shootings are becoming the norm. Sad as that is.
