Id prefer something a little more bulletproof personally,

Hands like King Charles then? 

 

This is the kind of thing that happens when you turn an election into a borderline civil war whilst allowing your citizens to run around with guns. America desperately needs to sort it's act out.

Glad it wasn't even more serious. Imagine the conspiracy theory nutjobs if Trump had lost his life? They would be taking sides and shooting each other by now.

When you consider how many wackos have access to weapons its surprising that this doesn’t happen on a more regular basis

Yeah I agree. I find it amazing that anyone with a rifle can get within a mile of a target. Especially when they have as little cover as this bloke seemed to have.

Absolutely.

The consequences of him being killed are unthinkable. There’d be a lot of bloodshed.

There might be anyway.

Be like the Truman show. Mentalists everywhere. I reckon there will be shit on the back of this. Couple of whack jobs go after Biden

Knew when I woke up this morning that I'd posted something dodgy. I was fucked last night but that's no excuse. Didn't know somebody had actually died. 

You should have just passed it off as a typo. 

Think the real question here has been missed. 
Did anybody shout “ Donald , duck “ ? 
 

missed opportunity if not

Said it before and was shot down in  flames by @Cheeseas I referenced it was also said on Joe Rogan, but every single super power or empire falls at some point.

The US won't be top dogs one day, they'll implode. It's a spiralling mess of civil mutiny.

Be interesting to see how they look in 20 years time.

In a country of 340 million people , half of whom have a right to bear arms. And half of them are not Trump supporters.

The list of suspects is endless.

I see Farage is flying over there to hold Trump’s hand.

Well, that, and presumably to ask for The Don’s help in getting the people of Clacton shorter waiting times at the GP.

Been reported the shooter is a Republican. So in theory on Dons side, but who thinks I am going to a presidential rally and I am going to take a rifle with me on the off chance that they have left a roof top sniping spot free that I will be able to climb up and get a shot away before the Secret Service react ? 
 

You can see where the conspiracy theorists get their fuel from .

I shot what down in flames?

This aged well 

Lammy is correct

Trumpton crying 'woe is me' when 4 of his predecessors were killed

Hes been shot and mummy fixed it with a kiss and a plaster

Not really for many reasons, mainly because he isn't president at the moment and second he has lost a bit of his ear, not his life. The rest is him whining as usual.

Hot news from a local pub (so must have some truth), Trump squashed a blood pellet against his head. Must be true because the shots were fired ages after he went down.

Also, from that range you couldn’t miss a head that big. A sniper’s dream.

He’s obviously made of stronger stuff. I’d love to see that bell Lammy crumble if he ever had to meet him. 

Trump shot by a Republican.

You couldn’t make it up.

Could you.

Could be, though Biden's intervention should hopefully ease the tension.

Folk have said his tiny head movement may have saved his life, though I reckon the shooter wasn't a very good shot, thankfully. 

After the first shot, Trump was still for a couple of seconds, and it really is miraculous he survived.

Lammy should in now way be engaging in such social media spats.

He's the foreign secretary, and will have to form relations with America, irrespective of who is in the Whitehouse.
