Trump did a beeline dive for the ground. I think he injured himself when he hit. He seemed dazed when he got up, repeatedly making the white power hand gesture.
White power hand gesture, really? Give me a break. That would have been a black power hand gesture if that was the kind of gesture he was going for.
Technically, you’re both correct.

At first when he raised his fist he I thought he was saying Screw you repeatedly. Watched it again and he was actually saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Well, this is awful. Truly awful. Be ready for four more years of Trump, folks. That murderer was a total moron. This was really the last thing we needed as a divided country.

Yes, I think he's intentionally vague so he can maintain a position of plausible deniability. He probably scared the crap out of the SS when he showed his head to make the gesture.

It's pretty much guaranteed a Trump victory. Vegas betting odds:

Yeah, this appears to me to shoe Trump right in. And now all we are ever going to get is the Gawd Trump bragging to the high hills. Lord please let me be wrong.

Like a commentator said about the Biden/Trump debate. "No, I didn't watch it. Mummy Vs. Dummy, no point."

Witness tells BBC he saw gunman on roof

I wonder why the police and Secret Service did nothing.

According to this Trump supporter at the rally who tried to get the attention of the authorities, they probably wouldn't have been able to see the gunman from their vantage point.

On your version of the video this is revealed at 1:34 if you'd like to go back and review it.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

Do you really think that the four years that led to this was fine?

Nobody needs to worry about four more years of Trump. He is not the leader of the populists, he is a symptom and opportunist. Your fears are misguided. The only thing you should fear is your ability to handle the truth. Trump ain't your problem at all.

I agree that the shooter and/or whoever conspired with or motivated him to attempt this had to be incredibly stupid to think that this would somehow help Biden's and the Democrats' chances to win in November, whether or not the assassination attempt succeeded. I think it more likely that the shooter had a personal vendetta against Trump himself and couldn't care less about what other consequences might result from it. Also, more likely than a motivation to ensure Biden's election, is a determination to damage the entire country and the democratic process itself, regardless of which political parties would be hurt most by it. I think those are the 2 likeliest motivations behind this. Either a personal vendetta against Trump himself, regardless of whom else gets hurt, or a terrorist act by some entity, either foreign or domestic, who wants to hurt the entire nation and what we stand for.

I hope that the least likely motivation for this act was an attempt by MAGA to stage a false flag scenario in order to blame Biden and the Democrats for the attempt. Can we safely rule that out? I hope so!
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
