    It’s a good thing his fenced property was protected by Secret Service agents. Gun control for me but not for thee.

    On the one hand, I don’t believe in political violence. On the other hand, the morality of assassinating Trump is an awful lot like asking oneself, “Would it be morally acceptable to go back in time and assassinate Hitler?”

    And anyway, we don’t know yet that this is political violence. The last guy who tried to kill him was a Republican who was probably just trying to make a name for himself while committing suicide by cop.

      From early reports I’ve seen it sounds like this is similar. He was a big fan of Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy (that didn’t stop the Post from trying to claim he was a lefty though).

      According to the NC voter rolls he was registered unaffiliated. Voted in the Democratic primary in March. Voted in The general election in 2008 & 12 but not in 2016 or 2020. Garden variety nut bar

        If he didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 then why did he say he was to partly to blame for electing Trump?

        “In a section of the book focused on Iran, the author said he “must take part of the blame” for electing a “brainless” president, in an apparent reference to Trump. “You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal,” the book declares.”

          All I can say is Ryan Wesley Routh of Guilford County NC born 1966 did not vote in NC in 2016 or 2020. https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup Maybe he voted in another state or just as likely is just a nut bar that says things that don’t match reality.

      Democrats don’t buy ergonomic modern high capacity firearms, they on average buy old wooden bolt-action trash because their local gun shops in their states can’t sell good stuff due to racist gun control laws that only punish poor people and doesn’t affect wealthy white gun owners.

      Very likely it was one of Trumps piece of shit Republican peers wanting to kill him after finally realizing they have been duped by a New York billionaire that tricked them to think he was on their side.

    I’m not advocating for anything but I want to point out that the threat of gun violence is a near daily occurrence for most Americans. So I’m not shedding any tears for Trump.

      Well JD Vance did say gun violence is just "Fact of Life” that we just “Have to Get Over” so surely the republicans understand this.

    I had heard there were shots, but this is the first I heard that it was an assassination attempt.

    I wonder if it will make him stop playing golf.

      I am pretty sure he would rather die than give up golfing. He played golf 307 days of his 1461 days in office, 3x what Obama did.

        He lit up when this portion of the first debate against Biden came up. Comparing golf scores. Getting into the minutiae of it. Very important for us to know.

          I couldn’t stomach watching that first debate, so I wasn’t sure if you were messing around.

    This is why golfers should be able to carry assault rifles at golf courses and Trump rallies: they too should have a fighting chance against assassins.

    I predicted that as more Trump supporters realized they’ve been duped and grifted that they would be mightily upset.
