There appear to be reports that Trump wasn't shot after all but hit by flying glass fragments from the bullets hitting the teleprompter. Rumor only but since y'all are dealing in rumors I just thought I'd pass it along. That doesn't negate the seriousness of the incident. It looked like those teleprompters were intact? I’m sure a round would have shattered one? But who knows? I’m one to just wait 48 hours for all the hype and chaff to settle out.

My post before it tells why. Homeland Security refused requests for a larger security detail for Trump. I just read a WSJ report that Trump's security had been increased since he became a candidate. The campaign has asked for more security since the campaign started. I don't read the wall street journal....

“We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,” Trump said, using the demagogic technique of dehumanizingm his opponents. He warned that “the real threat is not from the radical right. The real threat is from the radical left, and it’s growing every day.”
That kind of hateful rhetoric, easy access to firearms, and one mentally unstable person could get you shot.

And shot at by those quoted above. Got it 👍

Pubs and Dems are both running amuck right now.

Teleprompters are bullet resistant from one news report and the podium was solid steel meant to protect the speaker which is why Trump dropped to the ground.

This reminds me of J6, where Trump's hateful political speech prompted a riot at the Capital where five people died.
Trump is the most dangerous man in America.

To make an omlette you have to break a few eggs. At least this thread bring out the trash in the chatroom. Folks need to think about the company they keep

The bullet is the silver streak to our right (Trump’s left). It looks like a long rod.
