BUTLER, Pa. — On the heels of an apparent attempt to kill him, former President Donald Trump called Sunday for unity and resilience as shocked leaders across the political divide recoiled from the shooting that left him wounded but “fine” and the gunman and a rally-goer dead.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting. His aides said he was in “great spirits” and doing well.

Law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that bomb-making materials were found inside the vehicle of the man suspected in the Trump rally shooting. There were also bomb-making materials found at his home. The two officials were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

Investigators believe the firearm Crooks used had been purchased by Crooks' father at least six months ago, two law enforcement officials said. Federal agents were still working to understand when and how his son obtained the gun and to gather additional information about Crooks, according to the officials, who were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

Can you post the photo you saw? I thought they blew his head off. How can you tell what he looked like?

Yeah, they’d write “Trump apparently lost his head to an alleged shooter.”

The photo I saw had the assassins with a more-or-less intact head. His teeth were blown out, though.

I wonder how long it will be before we find out he was on SSRIs and was known to the FBI

Another poster with nothing on their home page.

Another paid disrupter.

(checks bank account...) Nope, incorrect. Thanks, man - I needed a good laugh. Now, how about you answer my very reasonable question instead of dismissing me as a "disrupter" (sp)?

Hahaha

You so funny!

Just a couple of days ago, the paid propagandist of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate, Karina Jean Pierre, boldly lied to a room full of journalists.

I am extremely skeptical of anything put out by the paid propaganda arms of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate or the government bureaucrats who are also members of that crime syndicate.

That would give you a pretty good idea of what he looked like. I had only seen ones that purported to show whole head blown off

It took six people to write up that propaganda piece. We don’t have a Free media we have propaganda media. Just think if that had been Biden they shot at. They make me sick.
