It wasn't apparent gunshots, it was a full on assasination attempt. The shooter hit his ear, there was blood on his head while SS got him to his car. An inch to the left and you'd all be celebrating.
This will be downplayed by the media, won't it?
- It may have been breaking news and no information was out when it was posted but idk.
  And while I wouldn't have been disappointed, it would've also been scary, so no, I won't be celebrating. This is a horrible event. Trump should lose at the polls fair and square and face his legal debt.
  
  Sane take, thanks
- it’s not being downplayed dawg it’s the media doing due diligence. this was breaking news at the time they have to wait till, usually multiple, reports verify the story.
- Funny really that his protection squad are the SS.
  
  This exact reason is why they normally go by the USSS
  
  Literally the same for every (ex)president
  
  Yes, I know.
  
  But did you know polar bears have black skin?
- We call it the USSS for reasons that should be obvious to a German
  
  We too make jokes about it being called SS
  
  If you see them at the IHOP they are called the "Waffling USSS".
  Also accepted is just saying it phonetically like "Us" but with a lisssssp.
- It would be one of the less awful timelines if Donald was unable take up the Long Knife which the corrupt SCOTUS has set out for him.
- I've also heard that the glass from the teleprompter cut him and the bullet didn't graze him, which would explain the big slashes of blood all over his face.
  I mean it could be either at this stage but it wasn't necessarily as close as that.
  EDIT: The downvotes are weird. We literally don't know exactly what happened and I'm just pointing that out. People are cranky I guess.
  Edit 2: I understand enough now to know that it probably did graze him, based on this photo: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/14/politics/video/doug-mills-trump-rally-photo-src-digvid
  I wouldn't trust him when he says he was shot, because he's a liar and even then he could've mistaken a piece of debris for a bullet. He wouldn't know, but that photo does make it seem like he definitely did come very close to buying it. If he was grazed, that also puts paid to the idea it was a false flag. Like, you don't shoot that close to someone you're not trying to kill.
  Two things about this: firstly if he did indeed move just slightly at the critical moment, it explains why it was such a near miss. Secondly, if the bullet had hit him, that would've been a VERY different photo.
