TRUTH:
Every media organization and politician who claims Trump is the 'end of democracy' and 'worse than hitler' has responsibility for what happened today.

They tried to bankrupt Trump.
They tried to imprison him for life.
They tried to kick him off the ballot.
Now they tried to assassinate Trump.
We must put Trump back in the White House.

Just days ago, Biden said “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
Today, there was an assassination attempt against President Trump.

A FRIEND MESSAGES: “The fact that it was an ear graze should absolve to Clintons. When a woman wants someone dead. . . ”
To be fair, it’s hard to get good help these days, what with the labor shortage and all. Immigrants have a good work ethic and go for less, but their cheek weld is questionable.
MARTIN HACKWORTH: We all just dodged a bullet. “Trump wasn’t the only person in America to dodge a bullet this afternoon. He was one of about 350 million of us. Had the attempt to assassinate Trump succeeded, I’m confident that there’d be gunfire in cities around the nation tonight. Including, possibly, my small mountain town in the northern Rockies. That’s how close we are to being out of control in 2024, America. . . . There are an awful lot of people in this country who think that they can go to bed every night, no matter what they do or how they conduct themselves, and wake up the next day in a relatively safe, free, and prosperous nation. That’s not so.”
This may be a case of God looking after fools, drunkards, and the United States of America.

Not sure if this is right, but it’s clear that if Trump hadn’t moved his head a few inches at the right time, he’d be dead now and we’d be in the deepest of deep shit.
UPDATE: Apparently real.
I’ve analyzed many images of high speed projectiles. Based on typical camera shutter speed and bullet velocities for AR rifles, the streak has the correct length, and the shadowing based on the Sun-angle is correct. It does look like a bullet. https://t.co/BeiNdsfADr

RESIGN:
I want to repeat, and can absolutely confirm, the USSS Director Kim Cheatle has repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump. Despite knowing the threat level is catastrophic.
Resign tonight. https://t.co/v3UQyTt1dK— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) July 14, 2024
Agreed.
If Trump didn't move his head, he most likely would be dead right now. pic.twitter.com/nnzJNbOSR4

IT’LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW HE DOES AT THIS HOUR ON SHORT NOTICE:
President Biden is about to give a statement. It is not clear if he will take questions. Many will want to ask about his own over-heated, ill-considered rhetoric, including his recent statement "we're done talking about the debate, it's time to put Trump in a bullseye." …

TRUMP RELEASES STATEMENT FROM HOSPITAL.
Meanwhile, from a friend: “I’m thinking the folks sponsoring the bill to take away Trump’s secret service protection need a little talking to. . . . On a more somber note, I have a sinking feeling that was very nearly our Ft. Sumter. It may still be.”
Plus: “Biden needs to make a statement.” No can do, it’s after 4 pm.
And: “I’m seeing a lot of criticism of the press, especially the CNN headlines ‘Trump speech interrupted by Secret Service’ and ‘Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.’ And don’t tell me that’s a just-the-facts approach, because it’s easy to see in the video that Trump did not fall, he crouched. The NYT headline at the moment is: ‘Trump Rushed Off Stage After Chaos at Rally.'”
UPDATE:
President Trump made his protectors stop. He then took the moment to stand right back up. In that moment of courage & clarity – he spoke for all of America. pic.twitter.com/nryPSvBjO0
