I was in a middle of a full screen game when DaWife told me about the attempt to kill Trump and when I checked my feed on the subject the first things I saw was the left either
- Claiming Trump had faked this
- Objecting to the right being blaming them for trying to kill him a 3rd time
I’m sorry but if you want people to not think these things perhaps go lighter on the whole “Trump is Hitler” thing, but in fairness given what we’re seeing these days in Maine if Trump WAS Hitler the left would likely support him.
Speaking of what we’ve been seeing
Here is the right response from someone who doesn’t like Trump
The summit of this nonsense was this:
Although the best answer was of course this:
Let’s go to the video
Grok’s Pointed gun standard which doesn’t count Palm Springs not withstanding this puts Trump two behind Lincoln for 2nd place on the attempted assassinations all time for Presidents.
It would be nice if he doesn’t get a chance to break the record but given the left being the left and that we’re not even half way into this 2nd term I think he might do so
Of course in fairness the idea that at an event full of people who would privately cheer him being killed someone would try to do so isn’t all that odd. BTW can you imagine if the assassin succeeded yesterday how difficult it would have been for the assembled press to feign public outrage with all those camera running?
It was interesting enough to see the general silence since the attempt took place with them there and nobody had a chance to establish the left’s desired narrative nor feed it to those in attendance.
We don’t know much about the teacher of the month who has been arrested except that:
- He’s fast
- He shot a Secret Service agent who fortunately had body armor
- He managed not to be shot and killed, how I haven’t figured out
- If this guy was “Teacher of the Month” it’s more proof you need your kids out of public school
Given the use of AI these days I’m going to be a bit more careful about what gets spread today about him as the technology to manufacture a narrative has exploded but I must say I think this take is pretty good:
.Already we are seeing people trying to say he’s Mossad or that it’s all about an excuse to start shooting in Iran again (he doesn’t need an excuse btw Actually it would be more legit if he was an Iranian agent instead of just the avg loony lefty, after all we’re fighting a war against them and in war the other side gets to shoot back.), but we can expect everything from gay fanboy of Tucker Carlson trying to impress him to fanatical Catholic upset at the clash with the Pope.
No matter how wacked some narratives are there are fools online who will buy them if it fits their worldview.
The trial will be interesting but I alas think Van Jones is right about one thing:
“I’m starting to worry about something, though, which is that the shooter survived, which means on Monday he’s going to court, which means there is a danger that people try to make him some sort of hero. You watch what happened with Luigi [Mangione], who shot a CEO to death and somehow became a hero. So, they said tonight you saw the worst of America. You saw the best of America. Tonight, you definitely saw the best of America. I hope on Monday we don’t see the worst again.
The chances of this not happening are so zero.
Finally Trump’s press conference was both informative and gracious you can watch it here:
This was likely the best dressed news conference in the history of Presidential press conferences.
Could you imagine giving such a press conference less than an hour after someone tried to kill you? This guy has ice in his veins.
The security for the new event in 30 days should be interesting.
I’ll close with a quote from Stonewall Jackson:
He who does not see the hand of God in this is blind, sir. Blind!
