    If Kamala was at this golf course would you be singing a different tune? I have zero doubt they’re going to get whatever mileage they can out of this, but idk how we can pretend this is “nothing”.

    Also, I’m positive a person intending to kill a (former) president being arrested 600yds away from their target is newsworthy.

    I think Trump is reaping what he’s sown too, but I can’t pretend it’s remotely close to “nothing”

    edit: Im literally just saying this news story is newsworthy y’all. surprisingly controversial

      The media calling it an “attempt” is just clickbait. At best this is a “possible assassination plan.” And something similar happened to Gretchin Whitmer… it turned out to be an FBI entrapment scheme

        To be completely fair here: the reports are all saying that Trump’s location that day was not public information. So either this guy got real lucky to show up on a day Trump was playing golf, or else he had some information that very few other people had. Okay, granted, Trump plays golf a lot, so it could just be a coincidence. Still, it would be kind of ironic if it turned out someone in his own campaign was leaking info to the crazies.

        You’re calling me a dumbass? ok bye 👋

        edit: Imagine replying with such hostility lol. Kamala harris almost being shot would be big news. Just because kids are shot too doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be. Many things can be (and are) bad at once. I don’t get your attitude or angle
