Live updates: FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt of Trump in Florida | CNN Politics
Donald Trump is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity” Sunday, his campaign said. Officials believe an armed person intended to target the former president, sources say. Follow here for the latest.

Stop fucking edging me god fucking damn.
Nobody should want these guys to finish the job, especially before the election. That's a recipe to end up with President Vance, and the man is an absolute moron. He makes Dan Quayle look like the spelling bee champion.
Donald Trump doesn't deserve to die from an assassin's bullet. He deserves to die of natural causes, in prison.
Vance is immensely unlikable even amongst the republican base. And the past eight years have made it clear that trump can only really get trump elected. The only downside of him going to hell is that it will give republicans a few more years to figure out their post-trump pivot (which seems to be liz cheney).
You are right, but I dont think the cult would unify around someone else that quickly. In fact, I think chaos that nobody that is sane would truly want would immediately ensue.
On the other hand, every minute he is allowed to operate is a minute that extremists like the Proud Boys, Christian Nationalist, and just an unimaginable rogue gallery of others is actively injected into roles that they can cause extreme damage at.
The unfortunate part is my second point will continue being true rather Trump is bunking in Reagan's torment pitch or not. Mask off will be the policy going forward, just manipulative nasty shit that gets nothing done but the rich richer and the Earth sicker.
Edit: and since I'm ranting I'd like to add; I care not one bit about "justice" served to Trump. I care only that we can recover from and avoid the circumstances that brings people like him to power. Send him to oblivion, lock him in a cell, leave him to die in an old person's home alone once he outlives his use, whatever. I care that we notice what brings these people to power; Fear, Instability, and the abandonment of our own citizens. If we dont educate and care for one another, we are more susceptible to fascism again and again. If we dont strengthen our most vulnerable, and instead cater to those who already have everything, this will just happen again.
Let's not pretend that the man doesn't know exactly what he is doing. His only deficit is in charisma.
Assassination would be good for MAGA. They'd worship him as a martyr.
I'd like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD's.
He is going to be a martyr no matter how he dies.
The conspiracy theories around his death are going to make every other conspiracy theory look quaint.
Why would that not martyr him anyway?
If I were to die now they would say it was so that my soul could lead them.

They always look for genitalia, Leto thought. Perhaps I should have something made, a gross protuberance to shock them.

Nah bruv, let him live a decade in prison.
There are zero people to step in and rally voter support for MAGA without Trump.
There's JD Vance.
There's Ron DeSantis.
There's Jim Jordan.
There's Matt Gaetz.
There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.
None of them will rally voter support. They are all wet blankets for the MAGA voter base, even iif they want to be the next Trump.
I want trump to die. In a supermax.
