Trump reacted faster than the secret service did.

[pamamime]

The secret service was a colossal failure.

[ojvic]

The media call him the devil, hitler, ALL kinds of names...
8 years ago the shooter was a 12 year old...
He literally grew up hearing this...

[xavierwilmerng]

The secret service has a traitor in their midst, someone let that guy inside the perimeter

[peterkennedey]

Let this be CLEAR: Any Violence towards any political opponent regardless of any party affiliation is UNACCEPTABLE!

[rosegarden]

"Military reaction" I felt the pain in his voice.... Thank you to this gentleman and military man.

[EvolutionariumShorts]

Republican or Democrat, this is absolutely unacceptable. Not the United States of the America that we know.

[KrisKole]

This is soo fucked up! Our Country is going to SHIT!

[zzyzxPL]

Amazing that CNN was saying “candidate injured at political rally”. What assholes.

[theomartin]

I disagree with Trump on so many things, but violence against him, i dont agree with. There is never, ever any excuse to hurt others. It's so wrong.

[annsumrall]

How was this shooter allowed so close to the rally. Someone isnt doing their job or they were ordered NOT TO

[juliewest]

Many people pointed out shooter prior to the shooting to police and secret service! Telling them he was on roof with rifle...2-3 minutes and they did nothing..

Andrew Jackson also had someone try to take him out and shoot him dead, but the guy missed. Jackson immediately started beating the guy within an inch of his life.

[piglet]

Slander didn't work, so they indicted him, indictmenr didn't work, and now look at what they do.

[Rosalia-]

It wasn’t enough to trying to get him in jail. Now they are trying to kill him💔

[Aragorn]

I feel sorry for the innocent attendees...

[dukemckeey]

I admit, there are plenty of political people I am not a fan of. However, the attempt of anyone’s life is not okay!

[Zenzo-uuce]

Something about this whole situation just doesnt sit right

[xyzaero]

Condolences to the families of the deceased innocent bystander ❤❤

Those who cannot win with their minds use force.
