This is What an Actual Attack on Democracy Looks Like
My quick takes from the attempt on Donald Trump's life
I must say, it doesn’t look like Donald Trump is the threat to democracy!
The picture above is what an actual attack on democracy looks like.
It looks like a candidate ducking for cover as his political opponents attempt to murder him in plain daylight.
The Democrats can never use their “Trump is a threat to democracy” line ever again.
President Joe Biden was alerted to the attack as he holidayed at his Delaware beach house. Also typical. According to the Republican National Committee Biden has spent 40% of his presidency on vacation.
The shooter had a clear shot of Trump from an elevated position less than 150m from the stage. Any kid who has played a video game would have identified the rooftop as a perfect sniper spot. And yet, somehow the Secret Service did not. The investigation is going to be interesting.
There’s a rumour circulating that Trump’s life was saved when someone yelled Donald Duck. Sorry. You’re right. Too soon.
Seriously, Trump was impressive. Most people would have gone immediately into panic, or shock. Trump is prone to neither. He insisted on getting to his feet, looking the crowd in the eye, and defying his attacker. Say what you like about Trump, he’s a fighter. Biden would have pooped his pants - and that’s before a shot was fired.
The old adage, ‘if it doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger’ applies doubly to Donald Trump. They impeached him - twice - and yet his popularity grew. They indicted him once, and then three more times. His lead in the polls increased. Now that they have shot him in the head he is guaranteed to win in November.
With exquisite timing, the ABC’s Four Corners program has a Trump special planned for tonight. We can all imagine how it will go. Would they be so tasteless as to run it? Of course they will.
Never forget, Trump doesn’t need to do this for the money. Or for the fame.
Ask your lefty mates or colleagues which of Trump’s policies they disapprove of. I’ve tested it many times. A blank look is guaranteed. Ask them how Trump is a threat to democracy and they will be unable to answer. And yet some guy with a rifle took them at their word.
All of America is now talking about how just five days ago Biden said: 'It's time to put Trump in a bullseye'.
Biden's careless utterance has all but put Trump back in the White House.
Will the attempted assassination lock Biden in as the Democrat candidate?
Trump was already odds-on to win this race, but we can all put down our binoculars now! After today, the Dems would be cactus, even if they could recruit Mother Theresa.
Meaning anyone who might’ve been tempted to replace Biden will likely prefer to save their money and reputation for 2028.
Imagine if Trump was a millennial. He would need six months stress leave and six years on the NDIS.
Trump dodged a bullet, so did the American people. A second Democrat term is not going to happen now.
Biden’s only argument against Trump was that he was a threat to democracy and to the rule of law.
The central premise of the Biden campaign was that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs
Now Trump has been shot in the head.
And, importantly, Trump’s supporters at the rally reacted with calm and with compassion for one another.
So there goes Biden’s entire campaign. What’s he going to run on now? His mental acuity?
Trump now has an incredible opportunity to unite the country and to win over the bulk of the American people.
The United States desperately needs balance, calmness and stability. If Trump can adopt that tone, he will win the election in a landslide.
Furthermore, it will propel the US into a position of strength, so badly needed when you consider the threat from China North Korea, Iran and Russia.
Trump must secure this moment in history for the good of the country and the free world. He has now been dealt a full card deck from which to play. It’s up to him which cards he plays.
Much will be made of the fact that the shooter was, apparently, a registered Republican. Don’t be fooled by that. It means nothing. Anyone can register, and those opposing often do so for tactical reasons.
The Biden campaign has said it will pull its anti-Trump campaign material in an attempt to calm emotions. Perhaps that’s a noble gesture. But before we give them the benefit of the doubt, it would be interesting to see the contents of those ads. Maybe they were just too embarrassed to now show them.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are the two most important men alive today. Tell me I’m wrong.
How does the Trump assassination attempt affect the plans of Xi Jinping? America is now in absolute turmoil. But a Trump victory is also now guaranteed. Does China make a move on Taiwan now, knowing they have just months before the bullet proof Trump becomes leader of the free world?
Speaking of chaos. Imagine if Trump had been killed. He does not have an obvious successor. And Biden is clearly unfit for office. A millimetre closer to Trump’s head and the chaos would have been unimaginable
The Democrats were quick to blame Trump's rhetoric for the storming of the Capitol Building. What of their rhetoric against Trump lately?
Crickets, I bet.
Donald Trump turned to his right a split second before shots rang out. That move - to the right - saved his life. Selah.
Have you watched the fumbling Secret Service agents? It took them an eternity to get Trump off the stage and even longer to get his vehicle out of the area. If there had been a second shooter, the Secret Service would not have been any protection.
A DEI woman is the Secret Service director and another one is in charge of the Trump detail.
Was it all designed from the outset to fail?
An unsecured building 100 yards away with a clear view of the stage was left unattended. And even when Secret Service was notified of a shooter on a rooftop, no one did a single thing.
It’s either negligence on an epic scale, or something far more sinister. And these days, who would doubt the latter?
Yet Trump survived. Someone ‘up there’ wears a MAGA hat!
Wait. Is the Denver Post for real?
Fumbling and erratic was this one …
There are more than 300 million Americans and Agent Fumbles is one of the best people to protect the leading Presidential candidate?
Fumbles spent the entire time trying to work out how to holster her weapon. Another DEI hire.

Joe Ben described the assassination attempt on Trump as “not appropriate.”
Other things that are not appropriate include jay-walking and chewing with your mouth open.
What a clown.
Then again, how could Biden condemn the attack. Really? This post could be a page straight out of an assassin's political manifesto …
It wasn’t a one-off …
To all the Dems now wishing Donald Trump a speedy recovery, the question needs to be asked … why would you wish Hitler a speedy recovery?
Why would the New York Times crop out the American flag? And why wouldn’t they use the ‘A’ word?
I think you know why.
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
‘Donald Trump is a threat to this Nation. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy’ states President Biden.
What an incredible Inversion of Truth. Biden and many Democrats are the real threat to Democracy - those on the Socialist left, bring chaos, division, culture wars and dismantling of democracy.
It shocks me how average Australians have such strong, negative opinions about Trump, but in reality they’re parroting the media they feed on. The disgraceful headlines from CNN, Their ABC, MSBC, NYT, Denver Post and others should jolt people out of their hand-fed stupor, to start seeking the truth
