      Like the fact that SS knew about the shooter way before he even set up his rifle? Or the lack of investigation into the guy? I mean they went on and on and on about hunters laptop but an actual attempt on Trump’s life? Never mentioned before this.

        “lack of investigation” is fairly normal when the person is dead. Anyways, it’s really, really, really obvious the Secret Service decided to let the kid take his shot before they killed him.

      I doubt it as many people hate Trump and want him to die. He definitely leaned into the whole victim thing but I’m sure the attempt was real.

    What happened to right wingers? I clearly remember that narcism was universally considered a bad trait especially among conservatives. How are they accepting that?

        They were always shitting on teens doing anything even remotely individualistic and constantly talking about being humble. That’s how I viewed my parents and grandparents generations between 90s and circa 2010.

          That’s never actually about humility though, that’s about enforcing heirarchy. Dear Leader gets to be as arrogant as he wants, the kids deserve to get slapped into “their place.”

          The CEOs get their gold toilets, the prosperity gospel preachers their fleets of luxury cars, and the peons are to be humble and obedient.

    If he is gonna spend public money to worship himself, I at least expect the statue to be slightly higher quality than this piece of crap.

      It was quite an artistic choice to make the female secret service agent look like she is cowering in fear rather than the reality that she was trying to tackle/take a bullet for the dumbass target who wouldnt stay down.

      Then by comparison you have the male agent who looks like hes at the beach and not even concerned about gunfire at all. Its actually impressive how much misogyny is dripping out of this statue

      Not to mention we all know Trump was not anywhere close to the tallest of the people on that stage

        During the actual event the female agent seemed to be pulling Trump down and blocking his front and side, while the male agent was pushing him down and shielding overtop him. The main issue is Trump is old and built like a frog, so you can’t apply much oressure or else you make him tumble. This probably allowed him to break free and stand for the fight moment.

      I disagree in the long term. He’d disappear, but the problem would persist. Someone else would eventually take his place.

      That being said, he’s clearly harmful and I can’t come up with a better solution, so…

    BTW, Trump was never hit by a bullet. He hurt his ear when a SS guard rushed to cover him and hit him with his gun holster.
