GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday left Americans around the nation shocked. But he’s not the only president to face this kind of violence.

Throughout U.S. history, there have been countless plots and attempts to assassinate U.S. presidents, including President Gerald R. Ford, who grew up in Grand Rapids. Ford survived not one, but two assassination attempts.

“Ford mentioned that he didn’t want to be captive in the White House, he wanted to continue to move about the country, connect with the American people,” said Dr. Mirelle Luecke, supervisory curator.

And that’s exactly what Ford did after being shot at on Sept. 5, 1975. Mirelle Luecke, curator at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library described what happened that day.

Then there was nothing whatsoever to lead on e to believe she was a government recruited patsy to take the fall for their plot.

As opposed to today.

How come it seems they only target Pubbies.

I was reading another board and some leftist nut with uber TDS, cited Revelation 13-3, saying that Trump surviving the bullet, makes him the anti-christ.

The bullet missed his head by an inch, by the grace of God, the father of Christ.

There’s no similarity.

Today, Deep State will not allow Trump Term 2.

She was a member of the Manson Family if I’m not mistaken

“More treasonous MSM deflection.”

Bingo. “Oh, it’s all happened before.” is pure BS when comparing to crackpots.

This is much more akin to the DS / CIA hits on JFK and his brother. But we don’t expect the MSM to go there.

Today he would be. He wouldn’t be allowed in the Democrat Party.

Probably if JFK were alive today he’d be on board with the current Democrat agenda just like the rest of them are. The Bidens and Clintons of decades past wouldn’t fit into today’s Democrat party either, but Democrats today they are.

Both girls were associated with Manson, who was part of the mind control project that the government, and likely the CIA was a part of. I would say they were manipulated in ways we will never understand. It wasn’t that Manson had special skills of persuasion, he went through things, and learned how to use them on young dumb people.

Nonsense, JFK was a lefty then and would be a lefty in these times, he was as liberal and anti-America as he could get by with 60 years ago.

Globalism is left. Supporting an endless war in Ukraine is also left, so don’t lecture me.

EXCEPT for the fact that some guy nicknamed Rocky would have become POTUS if either nut job had hit their mark.

David Rockefeller’s older brother was the THIRD VP in the span of one term.

There was NO bigger Deep State wet dream than to have a Rockefeller as president.

Even if it took the resignation of Spiro Agnew and Richard Nixon and the elimination of the Deep State Swiss Army knife named Gerry Ford whose chief of staff was no conservative but a Rockefeller republican named Tricky Dicky Cheney.

That is as stupid a remark as you thinking that JFK was a conservative.

The GOP is a Jacksonian America First Party on foreign policy now, deal with it.

You deal with it, you need to look at the foreign policy of your lefty JFK and his starting the Vietnam War.

Learn something about your lefty hero.
