Did that blood splatter on his face from getting shot by a Democrat?

No, its time Trump stopped inciting violence.

It's over. We're done. I hope Trump even makes the election, but I doubt it at this point.

Whatever. Devil take the hindmost.

What is his association with Blackrock?

I'm not at liberty to discuss this other than to say he wasn't involved. <wink,wink>

‘First, the investigation into the alleged would-be shooter is just beginning. The idea that the former president can speak to the suspect’s motivations, in detail, is difficult to take seriously. Given the preliminary evidence, Ryan Wesley Routh’s politics were, to put it mildly, idiosyncratic, supporting Republican, Democratic and independent candidates — including, in 2016, Trump himself. To characterize him as some kind of lifelong Democratic partisan is a stretch.

Second, Trump clearly sees accusations that he’s a “threat to democracy” as beyond the pale, but, in reality, the Republican candidate really has endorsed an authoritarian-style vision that would undermine democracy. This assessment is based almost entirely on Trump’s own rhetoric and public statements. When the former president’s critics, in Democratic politics and elsewhere, accuse him of being a threat to democracy, their case is rooted in fact.

Third, these assessments aren’t just coming from the left. Trump’s own former defense secretary, Mark Esper, has described the former president as a “threat to democracy.” The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward, who remained neutral in every presidential race throughout his lengthy career, made an exception for Trump, calling him a “threat to democracy.” Retired federal Judge J. Michael Luttig, a giant of conservative jurisprudence, directly accused Trump and his allies of waging a “war on democracy,” adding that the former president is a “clear and present danger” to American democracy.

Fourth, if Trump genuinely believes that accusations about “threats to democracy” are beyond the pale, he should probably take a moment to explain why he keeps accusing people he dislikes of being “threats to democracy.” At last week’s presidential debate, for example, he pointed at his Democratic rival and declared, “They talk about democracy. ‘I’m a threat to democracy.’ They’re the threat to democracy.”
[…]
Trump doesn’t want to be criticized, and he would love nothing more than to bully Democrats into pulling their punches in the campaign’s final 50 days, even as he condemns them in increasingly hysterical terms. Many Republicans apparently want the public to believe that it’s dangerous to tell voters that a dangerous candidate is actually dangerous.’

The problem(s) with Trump blaming Dems for apparent assassination attempt

The more Donald Trump blames Democrats for apparent assassination attempts, the more outrageously wrong his argument appears.

Many Republicans are of course wrong – there’s nothing ‘dangerous’ about acknowledging the fact that Trump is a threat to democracy and unfit to be president.

You guys are so full of it

I dont think biden or harris had anything to do with the assassination attempt other than degrading the performance of the security detail through DEI

The woke Secret Service detail guarding trump in PA practically invited Crooks to open fire on Trump and it was a miracle that the bullet missed Trump by a mere 1”

If crooks was the only shooter who just wandered in off the street he may have been incited to kill trump thanks to rhetoric being spewed by the White House
