Trump said he was imitating Kovaleski “groveling.” He just happened to be holding his arms in a way that looked like Kovaleski’s disability. Don later said he didn’t know the reporter. The reporter says they were on a first name basis when he worked for the NY Daily News. I guess the question is whether, based on what we know about Trump, he’s the kind of person who would make fun of someone’s disability. It’s possible that Trump was just doing a groveling imitation that looked an awful lot like this particular reporter’s handicap. The thing is, Don lies so much about everything that we’ll never know, and his enablers buy it hook line and sinker every time. HTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lod001 1,344 Posted July 17, 2024 Here is some focked up sh1t. https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1813594952775135692 The current conspiracy theory evolving is this: They are speculating that whoever was running this attempt on Trump, that they told the SS agents, that were supposed to be on top of that roof, to instead be on the 2nd floor of that building. At the same time telling the snipers on the rooftop behind Trump that there will be snipers on that roof as well. Thus they did not take him out until he started shooting. Cheatle's lie about the sloped roof is grounds for imprisonment. There were snipers ON A Sloped roof and it was a bigger slope. I trust our next FBI director, Dan Bongino. it's incompetence or a setup. There is no other excuse. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get why people need to here from his doctors and need to see reports so bad. Is the point to provide ammunition that it was a setup? That it's no big deal because the bullets didn't do enough damage? I suppose the point is so people can say it was only shrapnel and it's only a scratch so Trump is a actually a bìtch and he should've finished his speech while the medics cleaned up the dead guy behind him or something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,673 Posted July 17, 2024 By the way, it was clear from the get go he wasn't seriously wounded. But there was danger, and he did react the way he reacted which by the way I don't think makes him some hero, but I'll give him credit for not panicking and having the wherewithal to take the opportunity to pose for a photo. I suppose Biden would've shooed away secret service and started directing emergency response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not perceived differently but perhaps be presented differently, as it is more heroic for Trump and his supporters to spin this as that he was struck by a bullet that narrowly missed him by inches, rather than a glass shard from a teleprompter.

"I brought up the fact that I'm Hispanic and, you know, I'm for Trump. And he said, 'Well, you're Hispanic, so shouldn't you hate Trump?'" Vincent Taormina told Fox News Digital Tuesday. "No. He's great. He was a great president. He called me stupid – or insinuated that I was stupid."

IF Trump lied about being hit by a bullet, wouldn’t that be a pretty big deal? Personally I doubt he would lie about that, but medical reports could definitely answer the question. I mean of course it’s still a huge deal that somebody tried to kill him and he got hit by shrapnel, if that’s what happened. And if he just said that it’d be no biggie.

I mean it would make sense that it was shrapnel and not a gun shot that hit him. (I would still think it was a glancing wound- not from an act of God making him turn his head but from bad aim from the shooter) Still though- the bigger issue is that we had a sniper fire at a presidential candidate.
