Its a bit different considering how so many people saw him yet they let him shoot.
Yes and maybe the secret service fucked up.

But in the end it's still a conservative nutjob trying to kill Trump. There is just no way you can circle that back to the Democrats. Especially because most Democrats actually want to make it harder for these lunatics to buy guns in the first place. It might be convenient for Trump because his campaign is mostly about nothing and it distracts people for a while. I just don't know if we can predict the effect it will have on votes, if any.

I think this will get trump more votes just because people take a Quick Look at their feeds, see the memes of him looking badass and that’s that. No deep look into why, what, when, etc.

trump is now president Camacho from idiocracy

Does he though?

Because at first glance he looks old and feeble. And yeah, his response actually is kind of badass. But you can also see the fear in his eyes. Before he was strong and untouchable. Nothing could hurt him. He was God. Now? I don't know. He looks a bit weak.

Yes.

He looks weird and scared. The blood confirms he's human and not the demigod they took him for.
You’re thinking of homelander.

All joking aside, that’s a badass picture. I’m not a fan of trump by any means, and I think most people will react to that positively. Historically failed assassination attempts have led to an increase in popularity and this won’t be any different.

Data is limited, but Reagan’s popularity did not rise as a result of attempt on his life (March 1981)

and Teddy Roosevelt lost 1912 election. He was a third party candidate so nothing unexpected but it did not magically won him the presidency either.

It's impossible to get in the mind of some Trump voters.

I do know what Trump would say if it happened to Biden: "He let them shoot him? At his own rally? This guy is so clueless he can't even protect himself. How is he going to protect America?".

The propaganda machine has already spun up about how the shot was fired by Biden, Anitifa etc. etc. along with how Trump has spilled blood for the country, how could you not vote for him. Let's face it, the average voter votes exclusively on optics. If there were Republicans on the fence about some of the godless acts of Trump, the image on him pumping his fist with blood tricking down his head is a powerful image.

Is it?

He looks so scared in those pictures. And I get it. Anyone would be. But Trump has built his entire image around bravado and machismo. And while he does pump his fists, he looks distraught and frail.

Give it two months.

Remember: Trump was down on the ground and only came up when everything was safe. The fist pumps were AFTER he knew the coast was clear.

It's going to come off as a bad look in a couple of weeks.
I appreciate your effort to make this shit have a good ending but the reality is that that stupid photos of his will be one of the most iconic photos of our time and Agent Orange is winning this shit.

Which means that countries like mine are fucked.

JD Vance is the VP Pick, the redneck from Ohio. :inter:

Speaking of which, Vance is one of the biggest critics of the support of Ukraine.

"Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians"

Eastern Europe is going to be in big trouble most likely.
