FBI needs to follow the money who is paying this man and how many more out there are waiting

I don' believe all Dems bcz Biden and Harris are always safe.

How did that guy know Trump's schedule ??

[ImperfectChristianWoman]

Trump needs to be careful with those in his circle (how did the shooter know where he’d be?!) where he goes and even what he eats and drinks…trust no one.

[vatorman]

Trump has seen more gunfire than Walz ever did

[OceanLife]

Cops don’t mess around in Florida! Especially in Martin County!

[LivBuDie]

How did the guy know where and when Trump was going to be?

[pokethebear]

If this was a conspiracy, why have the gunman use an ak for a long range shot😂

[cathybrind]

US law enforcement seems to be pretty good at responding AFTER someone takes a few shots. Now you just have to get the hang of acting BEFORE the lead starts to fly, don't you.

Has Trump's security never heard of live-feed CAMERAS?
Trump's private security should be monitoring cameras positioned throughout Trump's properties,
and the secret service should have portable vid cameras they can place strategically(Ex.: at rallies) and live monitor too.

I can’t believe the guy had a basset hound and was talking about hot pursuit!

[ChristiMorrison-uk]

Yeah, the very very sad thing is, this is happening everywhere and everyday.

[robertbirch]

So the car he was driving sat on the side of the road for over 12 hours!

[markmoreno]

Gotta love the way he said, “No snack for me.” The witness who took the picture ought to have a “go thank me” fund raiser page.

[DonMason-cvog]

Anything to draw attention from the magician lady who turns red hats in to Chicken Combs

[criconinvestments]

How are they saying there's 127 comments but only 7 are showing?

[philochristos]

I thought this was going to be another "Florida Man" story, but he's not even from Florida.

[edwardharris]

I feel as though the 24-hour news networks have something to do with this. They have been talking so much trash about Trump since 2015. I know they're no longer news networks they're just opinion networks.

[janineboitard]

How about a 6-hour mini series on what the perp ate for breakfast!!! Reporters ... the bane of society...

[monimelody]

So sad, but it’s a fact of life. Thoughts and prayers 🙏
