if that witness didn't take the pic and come forward, secret service would be caught w/their pants down again!

Trump has more lives than the cats of Springfield.

[Mike-tcob]

So, after a previous attempt on the candidate's life just two months earlier, the secret service decided it was not worth a sweep of the thin line of cover between Trump and the surrounding roads. Gotcha.

I never thought I'd see my country come to this.

[poljoprivreda]

1:17 ...we were able to locate the witness...THAT CAME TO US🤣

[loricalass]

Looks like this group of secret service personnel did its job.

[joshuahabram]

This assassination attempt was unprecedented. There's never been an assassination attempt like this in the history of our country. Even Abraham Lincoln would've said, "Wow. Such an unprecedented assassination attempt."

[LittlebitofDixie]

He is saying he is indigent in court, yet can afford to globe hop from Hawaii to North Carolina to Ukraine? Something smells rotten.

The Simpsons aint letting this prediction slide.

Not an AK-47 but an SKS rifle with Monte Carlo stock

[ElliottErnst]

If this isn’t a wake up call to VOTE 🗳️ TRUMP, then this is NOW make sure you register and bring a friend with you and sit back and watch the vote make a difference

How did he know Trump was on the golf course at that time, and was coming his way?

[ttkrystal]

Everyone who's mad about the Secret Service is confusing. They spotted the man before he ever got a chance to fire and intervened while sweeping the perimeter, ya know doing their job.

[deathsromath]

They saw a barrel poking out of the bushes. Do you know, the tool will operate whether it’s inside or outside of a bush? Very strange behavior.

[ucevrim]

At this rate whoever trump chooses as vp gonna be the next president

[honeybee]

I'm just hearing about this a month later. That says alot about what the media reports. Why wasn't this national news.

Edit: and I had to look it up. It's not like the algorithm suggested this

[wizardom]

Not a word on the fact that the would-be assassin is a registered Republican.

[eyezoforion]

Fun fact. This guy as well as the other guy from the 1st attempt in July, are both in Blackrock

[jmmacalalag]

Insider job... How did he know at that specific time trump would be golfing... Trump is all over the country and has no specific time he golfs

[tmuny]

The suspect will never survive the week !
