Official Trump Attempted Assassination at his Rally Thread

The AP is reporting it is true.

Local Police Officer Confronted Would-Be Trump Assassin on Roof But Then Retreated - Shooter Proceeded to Try to Kill Trump | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated last night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks.

From the AP article:

"The attack shook the firmament of the American political system, causing a reassessment and a detente — at least temporarily — of the heated 2024 presidential campaign that has grown increasingly vicious."

Doesn't a detente require agreement from both sides? I don't think Trump agreed to a detente.

Looks like back-benchers were running security at the rally…

She has become almost as repulsive as hillary, maybe AS, repulsive.

I think Trump's reply to a suggestion of "detente" would be...

If you follow that X-thread you also find
“Trump’s usual protective Secret Service detail was worked so hard (working 7 days a week with no days off)…”

They should rotate them to Joe’s team for awhile. Active protection needed at most from 1000-1600, should be able to catch up on rest.

So that should answer the questions of Trump stamina…

I don't think the Left has either

I don't think the Left has either

Well only because they are in “prayer” for Trump for his healing and recovery.

Posting but I can’t listen right now.

Almost?

It’s a high bar. But yeah, she’s up there.

Surprised you have not seen any interviews from the people who worked at the place where the shooter was on the building. Most places you can’t just be wandering around and climb up a building without being noticed.

I don’t want to give the WSJ my money - in cliff notes, what does it say?

maybe. maybe not. what's the assignment?

 

[freekforge]

Yeah, really had to zoom in. Man, they really don't look like their CAT. Wonder if they are the USSS Police division and not CAT (Police officers and not SS Agents)? It's a totally different category of training, pay, and organization.

The guys with ARs and helmets and what not had CAT identifiers on. I don't know about about the snipers though. Crappy picture I'm not good at this stuff but you can make out CAT at the bottom of his shoulder patch.
