‘It’s All Over’: Stephen A. Smith Says Shooter ‘Handed Donald Trump The Election’
Daily Caller ^ | 16 July 2024 | JASON COHEN

Posted on 07/16/2024 7:19:48 AM PDT by Sam77

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said on Monday that the man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump guaranteed his victory in the upcoming election.

Trump survived the attempt on his life by now-deceased 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania, with the former president pumping his fist as he departed with blood on his face after a bullet grazed his head. Smith on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” said his opinion is that this incident ensured Trump would win and that his legal cases would be terminated.

I’m still in awe of divine providence sparing President Trump like that. It was truly a miracle that everybody witnessed.

Here's a meme I just made. Inspired by Trump and the movie, "Galaxy Quest."

The only thing more satisfying than seeing the left hoisted on their own petard will be seeing them weep, wail and nash their teeth when they are out of power.

The shooter didn’t hand Trump the election. The negligent Secret Service did.

The Secret Service like the Biden Administration is incompetent.

My biggest worry right now is that they'll try it again. Recall President Ford faced two failed assassination attempts in 17 days.

I hope Trump's security is beefed up like never before.

Hope you don’t mind if I “borrow” it- it’s great inspiration for just about anything.

We came within one inch of a Archduke Ferdinand political assassination situation.

Unfortunately, we all know they won’t stop at merely weeping and gnashing teeth. We are in for ultra-violent times fomented by commies, leftists and what’s left of the Democrat party throughout 2025-2029.

Why is a sports network commenting on elections, other than to the Hall of Fame? Is electoral politics considered a sport today?

At the same time the Divine Providence spared him, the bullet whispered in Trump’s ear “I am death. I am always at your shoulder. I will take you, unprepared, in the instant I want and not when you expect.” As I watched our next president’s face at the convention last night, I thought that I saw the effect of that warning.

His team coming into the RNC building was noticeably beefier, taller and male!

One of the aspects that I am awe of is that after having been shot at with blood dripping on his face he had the wits about him to recognize THIS was his moment. He did not want to be carried out. He made them stop so he could give a message to the crowd. The consummate showman under fire.

I know for certain I would have NEVER had that kind of courage and even the wits to do it.

America was blessed by the journalists who captured it for history including the magic bullet that missed him because of a turn of the head.

Coming the red wave that will sweep the Deep State from power. We can but hope—BUT our foes are clever and treacherous. They have many other weapons to use. Antifas Kids to rally into a force to close down the pols. Maybe start WW III with Russia?
Lots of ways to topple Trump and China will pay for it as well as the cartels. More assassins? The last attempt looked rather weak. Looks like security is going to be tight around Trump from now on. Sill the foes of freedom might well target his kids now. What creative horrors do they plan for the October surprise? Keep praying!

The Left is really angry that the shooter missed. I cannot understand that hate.
