Great. They made him a martyr and he's still alive to capitalize on it. Worst case scenario. Fucking fuck.

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

While I hate what this guy represents politically, the last thing this country needs is Trump getting turned into a martyr.
If he dies of natural causes, half the conspiracies will be that he isn't dead or he reincarnated, and the other half will be that he was killed by Biden or trans antifa pedo activists
And Republicans will believe in both simultaneously
You think martyr is worse than dictator?
I want the man rejected by the country and defeated at the ballot box, not turned into a martyr that’ll inspire another generation of MTGs, Boberts, and DeSantises.
Sadly he's a fucking martyr now... Or at least he's going to protray himself as such.
Nothing that shitbag does has ever been honest. I would put it past him to have staged this shit. His could have had something in his hand to make his ear look bloody.
And there’s no way anyone will be allowed to investigate this.
Worst possible headline ever
Edit: OP has fixed it
"I read in the paper that Abe Lincoln's hat fell off at the play last night."
Exactly the same vibe
I didn’t know what was happening when I posted it, seems like he could have collapsed from exhaustion. I saw the news just as it was coming out, no one had mentioned gun shots then
You could just edit the title you know?
Fair, it’s done
CNN is fake news. /s
He didn't "collapse" or "fall". He reached for his ear (where he was hit) and had a general "WTF is going on" face, then after a few seconds, ducked behind the podium as secret service yelled at him to get down.
He seemed able to walk away on his own, although it is hard to tell exactly since his human shields might have been supporting him. As he was leaving, he was well enough to project an image of good spirits and raise a fist, seemingly getting into a bit of a fight with his secret service, who seemed to want him to stay small and hidden behind them.
I know, I saw the news just as it coming out and at that point there wasn’t a mention of gun shots
