    Only that he has "been informed", nothing else.

    And this might actually help President trump get back in office. Because things like this always end up with the individual getting a boost in popularity.

    I now worry however how this is going to affect the nutcases on both extremes.

    This is what that dangerous rhetoric accomplished.

    "Trump is a threat to democracy"

    "Trump is a dictator"

    "Trump's going to put people in camps"

    What else have y'all said?

    Oh yeah...

    "Trump is Hitler"

    I am now thinking the exact same thing. Especially if they identify those involved and they are on the far-left. This is the kind of things that will give him a lot of the centrists that are needed to win the election.

    Not to be funny at a time like this... But they just said Trump is ok... So...

    "Convicted Felon" and "Gunshot Survivor"

    Trump just secured the black vote!

    I do not excuse the attack. I condemn it.

    But you can’t condemn his attempt to overturn American elections. Which is an attack on America itself. What he did is anti American. Anti patriotic. And so is anyone who supports him.

    I don't think so. Trump is not well liked, so this is not going to sway voters one way or the other.

    We don't know what is going on. We have very few facts and we don't know who the perp is, the motive, or anything else.

    CBS reporting the shooter was engaged by the Secret Service and is "neutralized".

    SS agents and law officials surrounded
    I don't see Biden winning if Trump was killed.
    Trump would be a martyr and no matter who replaced him would get even more votes then Trump would have.

    I believe the first two. Not the last two. What’s your point?

    I'm hoping the media outlets that spew anti-Trump hate get held accountable for their actions.

    Earlier one reporter said 2 people were taken away from the area by SS and law officials.
    Another suspect or an injured person?

    I have not heard that they have any suspects in custody at this point. If not then WHY not, given the way that these kinds of events are always infiltrated by undercover law enforcement personnel and covered thoroughly?!

    CBS is reporting a bystander or rally member was badly hurt and that at least one gunman was "neutralized" by the secret service.

    Anti Trump hate is a reaction to Trump wanting to be a Dictator and Lying all the time.

    Trump might now stop acting like he can say anything and it has no consequences

    Maybe he'll begin acting normal with civility

    There's no security checks?
    This is a massive security failure.

    trying to win an election through assassination seems like a far more dictatorial move than anything Trump has done.

    I'm sorry you think democracy is an unimportant bore.
