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.

You list some very good reasons. I’m very concerned about Trump’s march to the left especially on abortion issues.

I can only hope he’s spouting such crap to win over independents and childless cat ladies.

And when he’s back at 1600... Abandon this idiocy.

Trump wants abortion to be determined state by state and NOT by the federal government...

It's prudent not to get ahead of the evidence when the FBI has control over large swaths of it. They could selectively leak (as they already have demonstrated) evidence to misrepresent the truth.

For example:


What the FBI showed (on the right) was not Crooks' backpack (on the left) and purposely left out key information.

If PDJT went after the story before all crucial evidence comes out, the left will have fodder to use to further crucify PDJT, even though in the larger picture, it's quite clear that the many layers of the USSS' seeming incompetence--each of which was so improbable and against their rigorous training--could only have happened as part of a larger plan to take out PDJT.

Because the only narrative then would be “he’s using this random violent act to garner sympathy”. What about all the people who are killed by gun violence?

The LEFT weaponizes everything and uses their State Controlled Media to create hyperventilating outrage over it.

He’s sticking to the issues, just like all the pearl clutchers say they want. I guess maybe they don’t want that, then?

And besides, EVERYONE knows he was almost assassinated by the government. It speaks for itself. No one needs a reminder…and if they do, they’re too stupid to figure out how to fill out a ballot anyway.

Dude … calm down.

That ain’t happenin’ …. ever.

Answer the reasonable, original question.

Furthermore, why wouldn’t I ask this question in the first place if I thought it would make it easier for him to win??

That’s not true. Trump is OK with FedGov (USPS) mailing abortion pills out.

And see tagline.

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

Perhaps the attempt was allowed/encouraged as an act of desperation by the Biden DOJ without the approval of the Deep State/Intelligence community. In retaliation, the IC then made Biden quit the race, forced the Democrats to accept the goofball Kamala as their 2024 candidate, approached Trump quietly, and promised him not to interfere directly in the Fall election in exchange for a few concessions - including one that Trump not make a big deal of the unauthorized attempt "for the good of the country."

Such a scenario may bode well for a Trump win in November, but perhaps not for the future direction of his Administration.

"when in 2016 he said he would end RoeVWade."

Hmmm, it seems to me that Roe v. Wade DID end, in 2022. This happened as a direct result of the three justices Trump nominated to the Supreme Court during his term (and who were approved and seated despite the leftist's despicable smears).

Why wear it out now?

This is August, there may come a time later when the public is starting to pay attention to the election when some ads about the attempt will have an effect.

The assassination attempt was an event. Events don’t give people hope about their children’s future or about their ability to pay their bills. Trump needs to stick to policy and to Harris’ incompetence. The attempt shouldn’t be cheapened by being used a campaign prop.

The Zuck happenings strongly suggest your theory is incorrect. The IC’s cards are not all that strong.

PDJT’s truly making the election too big to rig. The left would get caught putting forth the MANY hundreds of millions that would be needed for payoffs.

I think Biden’s not taking out PDJT—as likely promised—did cost him the nomination. (I think he was beat up, too.)

Hunter’s full pardon will be backdated, if Xiao keels over.

I agree with you. Which is what scares me about him saying in 2024 that his next administration will be great on “reproductive rights”. The man does what he says he will do and he is currently saying the wrong things.

nitzy is ditzy. You are correct. Roe v Wade is gone the only way it was going to get gone as a federal policy.

Abortion won’t end until people have a change of heart and move back to God.

Because it has no meaning. “They tried to kill me”. OK what does that have to do with domestic policy? Foreign policy? Governmental style? Cabinet appointments? At the very least a candidate has to say pointless gobbledygook about the actual job they intend to do. “They tried to kill me” isn’t a campaign.

Maybe you are right and maybe you are wrong. I HOPE that is what Trump thinks but unfortunately that’s not what he says.

He specifically said he would be “great for women’s reproductive rights”.

I would have loved to see him talk about state’s rights but that’s not what he did.

I fear he is being advised by either stupid people or evil people.
