Great. They made him a martyr and he's still alive to capitalize on it. Worst case scenario. Fucking fuck.

While I hate what this guy represents politically, the last thing this country needs is Trump getting turned into a martyr.
If he dies of natural causes, half the conspiracies will be that he isn't dead or he reincarnated, and the other half will be that he was killed by Biden or trans antifa pedo activists
And Republicans will believe in both simultaneously
You think martyr is worse than dictator?
I want the man rejected by the country and defeated at the ballot box, not turned into a martyr that’ll inspire another generation of MTGs, Boberts, and DeSantises.
Sadly he's a fucking martyr now... Or at least he's going to protray himself as such.
Funny CNN is reporting he collapsed and other outlets are reporting gunshots.
I'm far more concerned about Trump's edging of violent white supremacy groups that have repeatedly threatened violence if they don't get their way, makes me think of it was Biden probably some magat shooting because they're dumb as a sack of uneducated incestuous rocks. Since this is Trump I'm inclined to believe he actually fell and they're playing it off that it was gunshots to hide the fact Trump is unstable mentally and physically.
Video is out, shots heard and then he is seen clutching his ear while falling. No news on if he was shot or if the he hit his head during the fall.
It looks like he was ducking
collapsed
I don't see this word in the article. I'm guessing OP changed the title or perhaps CNN did after the fact. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Yup...they definitely did .... regardless I hate this timeline
Nothing that shitbag does has ever been honest. I would put it past him to have staged this shit. His could have had something in his hand to make his ear look bloody.
And there’s no way anyone will be allowed to investigate this.
Worst possible headline ever
Edit: OP has fixed it
"I read in the paper that Abe Lincoln's hat fell off at the play last night."
Exactly the same vibe
I didn’t know what was happening when I posted it, seems like he could have collapsed from exhaustion. I saw the news just as it was coming out, no one had mentioned gun shots then
You could just edit the title you know?
Fair, it’s done
CNN is fake news. /s
He didn't "collapse" or "fall". He reached for his ear (where he was hit) and had a general "WTF is going on" face, then after a few seconds, ducked behind the podium as secret service yelled at him to get down.
He seemed able to walk away on his own, although it is hard to tell exactly since his human shields might have been supporting him. As he was leaving, he was well enough to project an image of good spirits and raise a fist, seemingly getting into a bit of a fight with his secret service, who seemed to want him to stay small and hidden behind them.
I know, I saw the news just as it coming out and at that point there wasn’t a mention of gun shots
