The media are speechless they know it’s over

The problem with America is that it has watched too much of its own Hollywood nonsense and now it’s a case of life imitating art.

The reporting on this on the BBC morning news is disgusting, saying people looked bored, he was being divisive, he went off on tangents, the and putting down the supporters disgusing,

While Donald Trump is speaking the audience is so attentive you could hear a pin drop.

[levibull]

People in the comments saying "It's all about him".... yeah he is running for president and was almost assassinated
And actually paid respects to the person who passed
.... seems like a decent guy and speech in that regard
I'd like to remind people a BLm leader came to england and was shot .... no one wanted to report the person .... says alot really

"The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed."

[GoldMario]

The Stressed Out BBC didn't like that Trump survived

[HPugwash]

Still NOTHING! on Leeds, no coverage at all?

[thsxi]

The attempt on my life, has left me scarred, and deformed, but I assure you, my resolve, has never been stronger

[stephenclipper]

Horrible situation. Those poor families 😢

[gojo]

Seems UK Labour nightmare fully beginning in Leeds.

[opokukennedy]

I love Trump. He never for once undermined the secret service;but commiserated with them.

[seanyfaulkner]

If you look at the "breaking" news banner at the bottom doesn't even mention Leeds there either ....and thays

[Millan-zlvd]

[dionroberts]

[jamescps]

His public speaking has improved tremendously with so much more maturity and humbleness.

[teza]

Look I’m German. Live in the UK. Don’t give a toss about US politics, but the man’s a fighter. Certainly would trust him more with the big red button than Biden.

[rushainec]

I’m glad he acknowledged God. He’s protected by God’s grace. Stay safe everyone 🙏🏾

[wtf_is_a_handle]

WTF, 4 months!? I thought it was in like a month or something, there's so much hype about it all
