Yeah, well, mission failed then.

That’s ok. You can always try again yesterday.

I smell a groundhog loop

Exactly. If it was possible to travel from the future, we would never see a failed attempt since they would try again. Unless it was intended to be a failed attempt. :)

Except the gunman was killed right? So he wouldn’t be able to try again.

Maybe another time traveller disturbed the shooter by pushing him because what would have happened if Trump was shot dead would have been truly apocalyptic in the longer run. Maybe we just witnessed the n-th time loop without remembering the other ones and this is the first one where the bullet only grazes Trump’s ear instead of blowing his brains out so now life on Earth as we know it can continue, and we can post about it on Lemmy.

Well, let’s just hope this managed to avoid some horrible skynet apocalypse 100 years later.

Ever seen the movie ‘The Dead Zone’? Too bad Trump didn’t grab a baby.

I don’t know what’s going on but I wouldn’t be surprised for it to be a setup from the RNC to help drumph win the presidency.

People need to stop with ridiculous conspiracy theories. You’ve become what you hate

At this point, is that really so far fetched?

I don’t even mind if people speculate… but to be clear, there’s zero evidence of that right now.

This is completely idiotic. Trump almost got his head blown off, mere millimeters to rhe right and he would have had his head blown off.

Can you imagine such a thing? I know I can.

Some are reporting that he was hit by glass from the teleprompter rather then a bullet. Not sure how true that is.

Can’t keep the story straight. First it was a bullet and since no one is buying that it becomes a glass fragment from a magic bullet.

Because he can’t just be shot at for being a terrible person / president? That’s less realistic than a conspiracy?

It’s the US, everyone can get randomly shot for anything.

Honestly, one of my first thoughts was that it was a stray bullet from an unrelated drive by or something.

The land of opportunity

I thought that too before seeing the video. I thought that maybe the wound to the ear was because of something else, but after seeing it it seems to me that only the bullet could hit him there. A setup involving the shooter shooting only his ear would be waaaaay too risky.

My first thought was staged. Lying liars lie and train us to look for the lie.

In case you’ve ever wondered what’s going on in the minds of Q-Anons, now you know.

We doin’ Blue Infowars now.

Do you have any idea how hard it would be to reliability graze someone’s ear with a bullet?

They are saying now it was a glass fragment. Story keeps changing.

After seen the photo.of his bloody face I have to say, as a non american, i’m sorry for you guys and for ukrane (and the rest of the world of course, since this time things will be MUCH worst). I hope you can recover but idk if you have mich time. I don’t think this wako can loose anymore

Thanks for that. Getting messages like this from outside the U.S. means a lot. For real.

Dark times, here. They were dark yesterday, but today proves things can always be worse.

Yeah, as an American all I could think was this clinched the campaign for him.

He can’t handle security for something like a small concert? He can’t handle security for the nation. Do people really think Obama wasn’t under constant threat? Please.

Now we need to make sure one idiots attempt to stop him from being president, doesn’t derail the rest of our determination to stop him from being president the democratic way.

I’m sure we can do it, but all the non MAGAts need to work together to ensure it.

Who’s bloody face? As a non-American I’m OOTL ig

Trump was shot at at a rally. Grazed his ear, his security escorted him off stage after a minute or so. There’s a photo of him with a bloody ear, surrounded by his bodyguards, fist raised, with the flag in the background. Crazy good photo, arguably historic already.

Found it, legendary photo, hope it doesn’t help him become president again though

Trump got shot at a rally, very minor injuries, would be assassin dead

As a Canadian I’m sorry for the Americans but I’m also fucking terrified for what this means for us. We’re already seeing it bleed (pun intended) into our borders and I don’t think I could handle if our politics went further that way. This is gonna affect a whole lot more than Americans.

You saw a face with red liquid on it I will admit that much. What that liquid was or how it got there is not something I have evidence for.

If Red Dwarf is correct, Trump did it.

If not, maybe Vincent Van Gogh?

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
