Breaking now, Trump shot at rally, reported conscious and alive
By the way, I know everyone hates redditors, but the prevailing opinion from the NPC hivemind is he faked it to get people on side which is a really bad fucking look even for them.
It’s possible they staged it. But I’m leaning towards this being legit
There’s probably no one man in America that’s more of an assassination target than Trump.
The narrative that he’s faking it to get more votes doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. TDS sufferers either won’t believe it, or will just be mad that they missed. His base was going to vote for him anyway. This would be an extremely risky stunt to get votes.
If you were going to fake it, why would you do it during a live broadcast? There’s so many possibilities for things to fuck up, it’d make much more sense to fake it in a more controlled area, like a hotel room.
Yeah same, I think it's likely, I try not to discount other scenarios just because of my own biases though. TDS is a real thing and some of the shit I've seen about Trump when you look into it is always grossly exaggerated the whole 'he's a conman' thing is on par with Nigel Farage and it's not that they've necessarily done anything major they just don't like them so they're making shit up.
The TDS people are gone mentally. I went over to go view the R/politics NPCs and they keep saying "It's obviously staged because he took two seconds to raise his fist at the camera." That doesn't prove anything. I'm not a fan of Trump, but this probably just handed him the election (I think he was likely to win before anyway).
I got curious and checked out r/politics. These people are amazingly stupid or paid or both
