Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

TBH it's probably fake and lame, dude was standing for minutes after it happened

The part that gives me the most thought about it being planned was his response, he gets up and raises his fist? His security doesn't hold his head below cover and he just chills on stage for the photo op? If he was unexpectedly shot you'd think he would just be crying and shidding himself, maybe they are just poorly trained

Edit: In case anyone is reading this later it was definitely not likely to have been staged.

Yeah, Trump is not brave in the slightest. That's what makes it seem off to me.

~~Looks like it came up from his mouth, across his cheek, then hit his ear - was the shooter in the front-of-stage area?~~

Edit: nope, on a roof

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

Apparently one of the bullets hit his teleprompter, which shot a shard of glass in his face

I had a nap and when I woke up I had no idea what going on. I was on Bluesky and on my main feeds filter out Biden | Kamala | Project 2025 | Trump

There were posts like this.

Welp here we go...

And somebody else posted...

The moron early-warning system is going off.

[Scott Adams tweet screengrab] This is on Biden

"What the ever loving fuck" - I said to myself. I should have simply clicked on my "Politics" feed which is only Biden | Kamala | Project 2025 | Trump but I'm always very sleepy when I wake up. So I came to Hexbear and that's then I learned what happened when I saw "LOL he got shot LMAOOOO". Sweet mother of god.
