Every Democrat and media outlet tonight is like “Thank God Hitler is okay and wishing Hitler a speedy recovery.”
Where was Jodie Foster this time?
When Reagan took a bullet through the heart, that accelerated his mental decline. It was like hitting the gas pedal.

2016: WhoWhatWhy: Bush Angle to Reagan Shooting Still Unresolved as Hinckley Walks

How does it echo the Reagan shooting?
Was the Secret Service responsible for Reagan getting shot? They sure are tonight when they watched Trump getting shot.
Off-topic, but not completely irrelevant footnote. There’s an impression that China is this bee hive populated by drones in thrall to the leader. Based on what an Italian expat has to say about the precautions taken when Xi Jinping travels out of his centuries-old fortress, the Chinese leadership doesn’t literally think this. Note that this is in a police state where the organs of state security are ubiquitous.
- all roads are blocked and residents in some buildings around the event need to evacuate it (yes even if they live in).
- those in office buildings cannot go out for entire time.
- snipers all over the place.
- internet slow and VPNs services are sketchy.
Obviously there are threats also on China and don’t leave anything to chance.]
This is not the first attempt on Trump’s life...Like the female who sent a bio-agent to Trump. It was Ricin, very deadly. She was sent to prison for 20+ years about 1 year ago.
BTTT
John Hinckley’s patents had dinner with VP GHW Bush and Barbara the night before John shot President Reagan.
The Swamp absolutely HATES surrendering power to the Chief Executive, even back then.
BTW, anybody notice that it’s always Republican presidents who get shot?
A Lincoln
J Garfield
W McKinley
T Roosevelt
R Reagan
D Trump
The dems have JFK, and a couple of other lame attempts, but there’s no doubt that republicans are the favored target.
And let’s not forget Squeaky Fromme and her attempt on G Ford.
Or Congressman Scalise at the ballgame a few years back.
Democrats have ALWAYS had a few screws loose.
Some things never change.
The article refers to Teddy Roosevelt as being the only other candidate shot. George Wallace would beg to differ
There were two (TWICE!) assassination attempts on Prez Ford in mid-1970s, both by Manson Family followers girls, by Sara Jane Moore and Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, both Charlie’s “girls”...
Imho the more appropriate parallel would be RFK in 1968. RFK in 1968 and trump in 2024 are both candidates for president, before their party’s convention.
Gerald Ford came close.
