My amazement with the attempted assassination

Posted on 08/29/2024 10:15:56 AM PDT by Rocky Mountain Wild Turkey

I am just dumbfounded.

Thoughts as to WHY the Trump Team and/or GOP hardly talks about, brings up, or uses in campaign ads the assassination attempt?!?

I would think this would be a no brainer until November.

Probably the same reason he says his administration will be good for “reproductive rights” when in 2016 he said he would end RoeVWade.
Or the same reason he is saying they will only deport the worst of the worst criminals when in 2016 he said he would deport all of them.
Or the same reason he is saying he wants to go to war with Iran when in 2016 he said he didn’t want new wars.
Or the same reason he was calling out his opponents in 2016 as being part of the deepstate but now he hires deepstaters for his campaign staff.

Who the hell knows why he is doing anything he is doing?

Maybe the shot to the ear was a little too close for comfort and he is bending to the will of the globalists?

I don’t think Trump wants to focus on that. Remember, he has been told by the issoes brigade to stay on the issues. I believe he will get to that if he wins.

“Old news” that most people know.

The issues - how Trump and MAGA would solve them - despite the wild accusations from the left, are what Trump (and Vance) must campaign.

I don’t think MAGA will forget.
I don’t think Lefties will believe.

Talking about the assassination attempt is somewhat socially destabilizing (e.g., Banana Republic) and the approach to Nov 5 will likely be rocky enough, with the Deep State using riots when/wherever possible.(DNC ‘protests’).

This happened on live TV so MAGA won’t forget. Yes the MSM certainly memory-holed it.

Note that the Deep State talking heads tried to portray Trump as ‘psychologically’ damaged by the attempt (e.g., not fit to run or lead).

Trump’s candidacy is powerful enough based on Biden’s problems, Trump’s solutions etc.

The Dems are so hateful that, because it was Trump (and the man who died and two wounded) and not Kamala then it doesn’t bother them or fit in their narrative for a campaign advantage.

If it hadn’t been Trump they would have had “here is another person from Crooks’ school who talked to our reporter yesterday” and “a digital recreation of the positions at the shooting.”

Now “We are all eating more avocados as we’ll see in our in depth feature which delves into the topic next.” And “Is a big Hollywood breakup about to happen before the Academy Awards tonight?”

I agree.

I don’t believe Trump will let this pass if he can overcome the odds & take back the White House.

I think that Trump has concluded that the FBI and the Secret Service are dirty. Right now, he can’t do anything about that, and it might be unwise for him to very vocal about that. But in January, I think he and RFK Jr are going to be a lot more vocal.

Actually, here on FR it is brought up daily, in the MSM they avoid it at all costs.

Any photo of PDJT like that found on the FR homepage, where you can see the wound, in their world is greyscaled out!

His whole right side face is greyed out like it didn’t happen, so as to fit THEIR narrative.

While the OP and others here may not agree, i think he’s more interested in having people vote for him on policy and principle rather than sympathy.

I for one will gladly vote for Trump a third time, I really think he can be pretty obnoxious at times. That said i see his policies and principles as essential to make America great again.

They are probably waiting for the FBI and secret service investigations to be completed sometime in the year 2525.

Don't overdo it. Talk too much about it and by the time the election comes, people will be tired of hearing about it.

Wait till mid-October and start to mention it, refresh people's memories.

The time to address this government sanctioned hit job is AFTER Trump is elected. When he can clean house.

He is not as awesome as you believe he is, and his people are stupid and worthless, in large part. Maybe the networks refusing to run ads that are too efffective
