The dumbest form of eye for an eye too. It's like gouging your own eye out in order to excuse doing it to someone else.
Even more RrEVeENGE and WRATH.
Oh, and probably "the Secret Service is part of the Deep State and didn't want to protect me, they deliberately left me open"
What do you expect? "Gosh, we really do need to disarm these redneck dangers"?
too soon?
This makes it sound like the shot was long distance. But man, he was a lot closer than I realized...within earshot, really.
"Damn it! Time to call in Seal Team 6 and do this right." .... would be a totally tasteless joke that I'm totally not making but... I mean... Has immunity right?.... just saying....
Ok, joke aside, this whole thing feels funny. A young armed Republican, like literally the defacto image of a Trump supporter, tries to assassinate him? On the heals of all this controversy about Presidential immunity, and right on the cusp of all the talk about assassinating a political rival, and just grazed on the ear... IDK, something doesn't sit right.

He’s a musician. He keeps booking gigs and them getting canceled after the controversy. He seems to want nothing to do with the Reagan thing.
Typical aging musician, keeps trying to ignore the early hits.
I'll wait for the polls on it since there is no way to get an accurate understanding of the fallout from randos online. Also political assasinations are very different from mass shootings. And definately aren't an everyday occurance.
Classified documents charges dismissed, Trump's lawyers and judge found a way.

More in depth
Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal classified documents case against Trump, which accused him of mishandling classified information after leaving the White House. In a 93-page order, Cannon found that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was “unlawful” and unconstitutional because Smith had not been named to the post by Biden or confirmed by the Senate. Trump’s lawyers argued in February that the appointments clause of the Constitution “does not permit the Attorney General to appoint, without Senate confirmation, a private citizen and like-minded political ally to wield the prosecutorial power of the United States.” Garland appointed Smith, a private citizen, in 2022 to oversee the two federal investigations into Trump. Garland, as well as Smith’s team have argued, that legal and historical precedent allowed for the appointment of an independent prosecutor to handle the investigations. Nevertheless, Cannon ruled that “None of the statutes cited as legal authority for the appointment […] gives the Attorney General broad inferior-officer appointing power or bestows upon him the right to appoint a federal officer with the kind of prosecutorial power wielded by Special Counsel Smith. Nor do the Special Counsel’s strained statutory arguments, appeals to inconsistent history, or reliance on out-of-circuit authority persuade otherwise.” The Justice Department is expected to appeal the ruling. Trump appointed Cannon to the federal bench in south Florida in 2020. A federal grand jury originally indicted Trump with 40 felony counts alleging he willfully kept classified material after he left the White House and then obstructed the government’s repeated efforts to get them back. Separately, Trump was charged with 32 counts under the Espionage Act for “willful retention” of national defense information, and an additional eight charges for making false statements and engaging in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

He just changed his mind over the last 8 years...on Hitler.That guy, that guy who called me "America's Hitler?" That's my guy. - Trump
Oh no, that's a long time ago, he made a 180 from "never trump" to "I wouldn't have done what Pence did". Now he's one of the good guys.That guy, that guy who called me "America's Hitler?" That's my guy. - Trump
Yeah, he's not "rich" rich. He's got some money from the lying book he wrote and the pretty bad movie they made from it, but he burns through cash really quick since he moved out of Ohio.

The useless tech industry is a pox. Apps that do nothing but siphon money from both workers and customers, literal pollution machines that only function to steal, etc. Dropping a nuke on Silicon Valley (or I guess Texas now since that's where they all went) would do more good in the world than literally any other action.

Elon Musk, Bill Ackman, and other tech and finance leaders used the attempted Trump assassination to declare support for his 2024 campaign.
