'I'm supposed to be dead' says Trump after assassination attempt
The former president says he survived Saturday's attack at a Pennsylvania rally "by luck or by God".
Speaking as he prepared to board a flight to the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he is expected to be confirmed as the party's candidate for president, Mr Trump said he now had a "chance to bring the country together".
He said his speech would now be completely different instead of the "humdinger" aimed mostly at current President Joe Biden's policies he had previously planned.
“Had [Saturday's attack] not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches.
“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together.”
“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together.”
Anyone else worried that his definition of brining 'the country together' may be more along the lines of trying to instigate coordinated violence against his perceived enemies and adversaries?
If only…but I want it to be after he’s in prison.
Didnt hitler survive multiple near death situations?
He also fought in the streets against the communists with a whip and a handgun. Guy was a fuckin monster, but he wasn't like the pussy ass American wannabe fascist dictator.
Yeah that's what a lot of us have been saying for years, but you're wretched, putrid old heart just keeps ticking along and making everybody's lives hell.
Basically, a massive narcissist was just martyred by someone in his own party. The narcissism will be even further off the charts now. His already unbearable cult of personality will got so far past 11, it’s going to be so much worse.
The optimist in me was so hoping Trump would see the error of his ways after his life was tried and another made forfeit in his stead.
Motherfucker still talking about himself. God damnit. I had a hopeful moment, my bad. Back to Plan A: Big ballsy Biden's bountiful bouquet of blissful banter.
Which, I might add, is currently surrounded by the lackluster looming laughable languid leftist lobotomy of a circus performance, and I'm not only referring to the politicians. stares
It's shit like this that reminds me A Christmas Carol is fiction
Princess Carolyn?
What's plan B?
This whole thing about the dude being a member of his party… is that confirmed now?
Last I read was that the person had donated money to left leaning politicians but registered as a Republican to participate in the Republican primaries.
You never know what is up or down nowadays. I guess that’s probably always been true though.
I think it’s reasonably confirmed.
Heaping on: He registered to vote as a Republican in the ‘22 midterm. A reason being given for a Democrat to register as Republicans is said to be to spoil primaries, but he did not vote in this year’s primary, so I think that line of thought is less likely.
First time I agree with something he said.
Hear hear
"I'm supposed to be dead" says Trump. "No one should be able to eat the number of cheeseburgers I eat and still be alive."
Hamberders, IIRC.
"My doctor says you have the
highestgreatest LDL count of any president ever." "Lipitor, sweet lipitor, isn't it great folks, eat all the McDonald's you could ever want, take one little pill and it all washes away, right into the toilet that won't flush, 7-8 times you have to flush that thing."
It's a sad day for everyone, stop rubbing it in.
I don't want to give him ideas but could he sue the government for failing to secure his speech area and protect him?
Most police forces removed the “protect and serve” because of court cases
So you're saying you're going against God's will?
I agree with him. He should be dead. Everyone's always saying it. We all agree.
MADA - make this asshole dead again.
I’ll believe it when I see it. The only thing he’s ever been able to unify is an angry mob
What? That wasn't him, it was ANTIFA. One big liberal conspiracy. The only conservatives in the crowd that day were tourists who were innocently shunted along into the building. They never intended to go inside, it was the fault of ANTIFA and the woke liberal mob.
The only statement Trump has said that I agree with in my life
Was thinking the same thing..
Just an inch to the side and this nightmare would finally have a beginning act of the end of the party of Trump.
Simpsons did make a prediction for September though so my hopes are not dead
End of the party of Trump, maybe. They'd still probably invoke his name at every opportunity.
End of the party of fascism and nihilistic corruption? No way, he's a figurehead there.
Totally agree with you. Fascism has never been defeated by voting and an assassination wouldn't do much more than delay it at best.
Was it the shot or shard of glass? I'm not sure which is correct at this stage .
Is he going to play the "like Jesus, I died and resurrected from the dead, I'm your saviour" card?
He's gonna say he's better then Lincoln because Lincoln didn't survive being shot in the head.
I think there's no chance he won't say it at some point. His supporters will love it.
I wonder if he wants to go to the Ford theatre and get point blanked by an 1800s pistol?
Yes, yes he will.
will he also play the 'fucked off to heaven 3 days later' card?
I'm so sure THIS is the thing that is going to unify our country around a common cause. Yep, just like a lighter unites gasoline and wood.
In regard to this posts headline: wouldn't it be nice, eh?
I’m wondering what his cult of personality would do if say, he had survived but his nose had been blasted off. Conservatives tend to be ableist, if he was uncomfortable to look at, would his support weaken significantly?
Oh that would be interesting.
God, damn it.
You’ll have to damn it yourself.
