I spoke with Donald right afterward. His fist had been bumped up when It happened. Hours later, his voice was up and bright as always and he told me: “Listen, I already knew that America’s previous presidential assassinations or attempts — James Garfield, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump — were all, every single one of them, Republicans.”
We also discussed how — since he’s already the most famous face in the world — his is now a sure direct walk-in to the White House.
Donald: “Look, my ear will be fine. I’m told it’s salvageable. It’s good. Doctors in the hospital, which is where they took me, checked. They’ve said it’s not dead. The hearing’s still OK. However, there is a possibility you just might notice it could have a very slightly different look when you face me.” He laughed, then: “Who knows, it maybe could end up in a somewhat different shape.”

Cindy Adams is still ALIVE?
DT is making Clint Eastwood look like a wimp.
Not to put too fine a point on this but Lincoln was a little bit of everything. Whig, then Republican.
By the time he was assassinated Lincoln was the leader of something called the National Union Party.
She is 94. He husband died in 1999. He was over 19 years older than her, and he was a month from his 89th birthday.
Wow
His telling of what happened will be hilarious.
Trump can now relate to Evander Holyfield. And vice versa.
“right on target as usual MAGA”
Not exactly. Attempts or assassinations on Andrew Jackson, President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, and John F. Kennedy. Also, candidates George Wallace and Robert F. Kennedy. All Democrats. Let’s keep our history straight.
Um, I guess he forgot Kennedy. But it’s understandable. He’s been under a lot of stress lately.
Oh say can you see?
By the dawns early light..
Who so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad suit and red tie through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly gleaming?
And the bullets red glare, his ear bursting in air,
Gave proof through our fright that our Trump was still there,
O say does that Divinely protected man yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave !
He said he was mentioning Republicans.
And Andy Jackson too. The Assassin went right up to Andy with two pistols—Both Misfired! Jackson almost bear the man to death with his cane.
And JFK, the lone non-Republican (but who today would be considered a right-wing fascist by much of his own party).
Kennedy, also.
The only democrat, but today he’d be called right-wing.
The attempted assassination of Teddy Roosevelt, in which the bullet was lodged in his rib cage, so fired him up that he went back out and gave one of the best speeches of his career.
Tyson bit off of Holyfield’s ear.
