It makes more sense to be caused by shattered teleprompter glass. Which is kind of ironic in its own way because I think he criticized Joe Biden for using teleprompters at his rallies.
Nope. No teleprompter glass. The angles dont jive.

Sadly the FBI has said no, it was a bullet that grazed him. Though from close ups of his ear... *shrug* In the end it won't matter, Trump will lie over it regardless.

If it wasn't the glass, it was the bullet. Either way, it was a direct result of the bullet. Looking at his picture, I just noticed he does have rather big ears. They also stick out a bit (as far as I can tell this is normal in a lot of us myself included). If his ears were smaller and/or closer to his head, he may have escaped injury.

Why are you two trying to downplay this?
The man was shot at, it was an attempted assassination for Christ sake. You are both garbage.

Yes, it was an assassination attempt. Thankfully unsuccessful. Aside from the shear improbability of hitting someone in the ear, what is the value of upplaying it? In no way am I condoning assassinating anybody regardless of how I personally feel about them.

Ultra Right Beer's new can features Trump’s ‘iconic fist pump’

The story gives “hold my beer” a whole new meaning.


Fox Business News reported that Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right Beer has unveiled a limited-edition can featuring Donald Trump’s “iconic fist pump” post-assassination attempt with the word, “FIGHT.”

Previously, the company sold cans featuring Trump’s mugshot, so they’re clearly with the Republican presidential candidate in good times and bad.

“On July 13, Americans saw a leader who was defiant in the face of evil,” said Seth Weathers, founder of Ultra Right Beer, in a news release obtained by Fox Business.

“When president Trump pumped his fist and chanted, ‘fight, fight, fight’, all patriotic Americans were filled with pride. I knew then we had to create this special can.”


The limited-edition cans are available in six-packs on the company’s website at a cost of $25 US, plus shipping.

A portion of the proceeds are going to conservative causes, including the 1776 Project PAC, which funds school board races promoting conservative candidates running on “anti-woke” platforms.

“Conservative Dad’s FIGHT will become the most collectible beer can in history,” Weathers added in the news release.

“Our previous limited-edition Trump mugshot can became the most collected beer can of 2023 and is being resold for hundreds of dollars per six-pack on eBay. This will be even bigger.”


Ultra Right Beer launched last April when conservatives boycotted Bud Light after partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney and became an internet hit.

“The last year was a pretty wild ride by anyone’s definition for Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right Beer,” Weathers told Fox News earlier this year.

“We launched on April 12, 2023, and it went just incredibly wild and went very viral online.”

It looks like a blessing in disguise for the self-proclaimed Messiah and Chosen One.

He seems to have been chosen by fate to ride on a bullet (unfortunately for Biden, not a bullet train) into the White House for a second term. 😇

Trump rally shooter sought info on attempted killing of foreign leader

The gunman who tried to kill former president Donald Trump conducted internet searches related to power plants, mass shooting events and the attempted assassination this year of Slovakia’s prime minister, FBI officials said Monday, offering new details about what they described as the gunman’s “careful planning” for the attack.


The details, including Thomas Matthew Crooks’s interest in the attempted killing of Prime Minister Robert Fico, were released as agents continue to unpack data pulled from the gunman’s cellphones, laptop and other digital devices. Fico was shot and gravely wounded in Slovakia in May.

In a call with reporters on Monday, FBI officials said Trump has agreed to an FBI interview about the assassination attempt against him at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pa.

“We want to get his perspective as to what he observed,” said Kevin Rojek, who heads the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, which is leading the investigation. “It is a standard interview we would do for any other victim of crime.”

Crooks’s motive for the shooting is still unclear, FBI officials said, and they have not yet found evidence tying any other people to the attack. The officials said they plan to continue searching through the gunman’s phones and his gaming and social media accounts to identify a possible motive or any indication that he may have worked with an accomplice.


He used aliases and at least some encrypted communication accounts to purchase firearm supplies and materials to build explosive devices, the officials said.

Trump was speaking at an outdoor rally when Crooks, 20, opened fire from a rooftop just outside the security perimeter. The gunman fired at least eight shots, killing one person in the crowd, critically injuring two others and wounding Trump before being killed by a Secret Service sniper.

The FBI said last week that a bullet or bullet fragment grazed the former president’s ear.

Investigators found two explosive devices in Crooks’s car parked at the rally site. The devices were capable of explosions, but both were in the “off position” when they were found, the officials said Monday.


Agents have conducted more than 450 interviews, including with Crooks’s parents, who did not seem to have any indication of the attack before it occurred and have been cooperating with authorities, officials said.

“We believe the suspect made significant efforts to conceal his activities,” Rojek said.

While the FBI has focused primarily on the shooter and his actions before the attempted assassination, multiple additional investigations are focused on the security failures that allowed a man with a rifle to obtain a perch from which to shoot at the president from about 150 yards away.

Rojek said the gunman climbed heating and cooling equipment near one building to get onto the roof, then traversed across multiple other roofs before settling on the spot from which he would launch the attack.


Investigators have tried to reconstruct the gunman’s activities leading up to the early evening attack. They said he drove to the rally around 11 a.m. and spent about an hour there before driving back home, about 50 miles away.

Later that day, he told his parents he was going to a shooting range, but actually drove back to the rally site. He arrived at around 3:45 p.m. and flew his drone around the site for about 10 minutes, officials said. Because there was no memory card in the drone, investigators could not determine what information about the site’s security the gunman gleaned from it, officials said.

He left the rally site for about an hour before returning to get in position for his eventual attack, officials said. He carried a backpack and AR-15 style weapon with a collapsible stock, an enhancement to weapons that makes them more compact.


Officials said they are still determining how he was able to conceal the weapon at the rally.

The gunman was a “highly intelligent” man who attended college and maintained steady employment, officials said. They indicated that they have struggled to identify much about him or his potential motive in part because he didn’t have many friends.

His social circle mostly consisted of his immediate family, officials said. The family owned more than a dozen firearms, and the younger Crooks became interested in firearms as a hobby years ago. That hobby transformed into more formal shooting training and lessons in September 2023, according to officials.

His father, who originally bought the gun used in the attack in 2013, legally transferred ownership of the weapon to his son last year.


“We believe he had few friends and acquaintances throughout his life,” Rojek said.

Separately, aides to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Monday shared texts among law enforcement officers who were helping with security that day, showing they had noticed and were concerned about the suspect even though he was not seen with a weapon until moments before the attack.

Almost two hours before the gunman began firing, a local law enforcement official texted colleagues that he had seen a young man at a picnic table where he was able to watch counter-snipers on a roof. “He knows you guys are up there,” the law enforcement officer texted.

About an hour later, roughly a half-hour before the shooting, another law enforcement officer texted others about his concerns, saying there was someone with “a range finder looking toward the stage.”


“FYI. If you wanna notify SS snipers to look out. I lost sight of him,” the officer texted, referring to the Secret Service.

The text exchanges were reported Sunday by the New York Times and ABC News.

FBI officials are not investigating to what extent there were failures in the security provided for the event, but they have noted that in the earlier sightings of Crooks that day, no one reported seeing him with a weapon.

That didn’t happen until a local police officer was hoisted up to peer at the roof where the gunman was and saw him holding a rifle. The officer dropped down because he did not have a hand free to draw his own weapon, Butler County Sheriff Michael T. Slupe told The Washington Post earlier this month.

About 30 seconds after that encounter, the gunman opened fire, FBI officials said Monday.

Trump rally gunman stopped firing after local officer shot at him

Thomas Matthew Crooks paused shooting at former president Donald Trump after a local law enforcement officer assigned to a SWAT team returned fire, and Crooks did not shoot again before he was killed by a Secret Service countersniper, according to two officials familiar with the investigation into the assassination attempt.


The shot from the local officer caused the would-be assassin to temporarily recoil from his perch on a rooftop, according to the two officials and a Washington Post analysis of video evidence. Crooks’s retreat coincided with a 10-second pause in shooting, according to audio experts who examined the gunshots, a critical period that ended when the Secret Service countersniper shot and killed him.

It has been reported that a local officer fired at Crooks, but the analysis suggests that the officer may have played a more important role than previously known in responding to the attack at a July 13 rally in Pennsylvania.

One of the people who spoke to The Post, a local law enforcement officer close to the investigation, did so on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The other, Richard Goldinger, the district attorney for Butler County, confirmed that a member of the county’s Emergency Services Unit (ESU), similar to a SWAT team, fired a shot at Crooks that prompted a reaction from the gunman.


“I don’t know if the officer actually hit Crooks and don’t believe he fired the neutralizing shot,” Goldinger, who oversees the emergency services unit, said in a text message. But Goldinger said he believed the officer’s shot caused Crooks to stop firing his weapon, buying the Secret Service snipers time to kill the gunman.

A third person familiar with the investigation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss details that have not been made public, confirmed the Butler officer shot at Crooks before the Secret Service countersniper fired. The person said investigators have not found evidence that the local officer’s round struck the gunman, but witnesses said Crooks appeared to move after that shot was fired.


Ten shots were fired in the span of roughly 16 seconds, according to video recordings taken at the rally. Four audio experts consulted by The Post said the first eight shots, fired in bursts of three and five, have similar acoustic signatures and probably were fired by Crooks, who was armed with an AR-15-style rifle.

Eight spent cartridges were recovered on the roof Crooks fired from, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray told lawmakers last week. Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet or bullet fragment, according to the FBI, and three spectators were wounded, one fatally.

Less than a second after the last of those eight shots, a ninth gunshot is heard. Then comes the 10-second pause.

The local law enforcement official close to the investigation did not know whether the local officer’s shot hit Crooks. But shortly after that shot, Crooks altered his positioning, the official said. Crooks stopped shooting at the rally site and slumped down behind the crest of the sloped roof where he was perched, the official said.


After the local police officer’s shot, “there was definitely some sort of reaction,” the official said. “Crooks slumped over, and he didn’t fire another round.”

The official credited the local officer with interrupting Crooks’s attack. “Anything that disrupts an active shooter can keep the situation from being significantly more catastrophic.”

The official’s account is supported by video taken about 100 feet west of the building from which Crooks fired. The footage was recorded by Jon Malis, a 52-year-old Pennsylvania resident who was watching the rally from that location, just outside the Secret Service security perimeter.

Crooks had roused the suspicion of local police as he milled around outside the rally with a golf range finder. They were looking for him when he crawled onto the roof of a warehouse complex and began shooting at 6:11 p.m. Malis’s video, first published by Fox News, records the sound of the eight shots from Crooks and then the sound of a ninth shot. After that ninth shot, the video captures Crooks as he turns, making his face visible to the crowd on the west side of the building, away from the rally, The Post analysis shows. He then appears to reposition himself.


The local officer who shot at Crooks was assigned to a barn behind and to the north of the rally stage, along with a counterassault and quick-reaction force team from Butler County, the local law enforcement official said.

The officer, who was not a sniper, had left the barn and was outside on the ground nearby when Crooks began firing from the rooftop about 110 yards away, the official said. The local officer saw the muzzle flashes from Crooks’s rifle, the official said, and fired his rifle at Crooks.

A rally worker told The Post they witnessed the local officer shoot at Crooks from the same location.

The worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because their employer had not authorized them to speak publicly, said they were standing behind the bleachers to the north of the stage when Crooks took his first shots. The worker said attendees scrambled while the local officer took aim.


“Everyone else was moving, and he wasn’t,” the worker said. “I remember thinking, ‘He’s not freaking out; he’s not yelling.’ He shot his gun, and I remember thinking, ‘We need to take cover.'”

A spokesman for the Secret Service said the FBI was best suited to answer The Post‘s questions about the local police officer’s shot toward Crooks.

FBI officials confirmed that a Butler County officer fired at the gunman, and that the officer’s weapon has been taken to the FBI’s laboratory in Quantico, Va., for further analysis. Firearms experts at Quantico are also examining the gunman’s weapon, an AR-15-style rifle with a collapsible stock, and the weapon used by the Secret Service countersniper, FBI officials said.

FBI officials have said that a Secret Service countersniper fired the round that killed Crooks.

Malis’s video captures the 10th shot and Crooks’s subsequent collapse. “He’s down,” an onlooker shouted, according to Malis’s recording, which then zooms in to show Crooks’s body splayed on the roof.

The local law enforcement official told The Post that the Butler County officer was preparing to take a second shot at Crooks when the Secret Service agent shot him. The official confirmed there were a total of 10 shots: eight by Crooks, one by the Butler County officer and the last by the Secret Service.

Was someone trying to say something to Uncle Donald when they took a poke at him with the rifle? Reported information says that he could have been a Republican, but we can should not assume that for sure. People can leave wrong leads to stop the scent of their real intentions. I think that some think that all politicians are or could be in their sights, and therefore they should take a hint about voicing their political views to gain daily impotence.

the assassin needed to do better research. ;) 🗡️
The Daggers of Megiddo are a series of seven consecrated daggers that could kill the Antichrist. A single dagger pierced in the heart is able to kill the body, but not the evil spirit. To do so, all seven daggers must be pierced in particular places of the Antichrist's body for the Daggers of Megiddo to work.
