Yet again, someone actually perperteating violence is neither an immigrant, trans, a drag queen, or any of the boogeymen these people say are a threat. Interesting.

Trump blaming other people's rhetoric for violence is...

[bradfordarthurson]

So this guys in court 2 days after arrest and trumps still at large after all this bs

[FSMTheWin]

He should just announce he's running for President. Then he can't be prosecuted.

[SamGouldsboro]

We all need to come together as Americans

[The_Cyberz]

Rhetoric? Give me a break. Trump invites the violence against him.

guy laughing and relaxed. Guy is a psycho. Lock him up for life.

I'm sorry but I like presidential candidates who are not targets of assassin's. I do send my thoughts and prayers, however this is not a time to discuss political or gun violence. This is just a fact of life and people need to get over it.

It was not even an attempt, it was a CONCEPT of a plan to attempt to take out his other ear, he’s fine, no biggie. DonOld is safe and sound and having his big Mac’s as we speak. Thoughts and prayers . 🙏

The Kamala bail fund will.get him out.

Good thing he's a convicted felon because there is probably no law against having an assault rifle on a golf course in Florida.

who knew our justice system works so fast

[Firechief]

This Republican is tired of these failed attempts.

[DrunkPekka]

50+ white male with an assault rifle? WOW who would've ever suspected that...

[ellellbee]

I think the word "attempt" to assassinate is not accurate. He never fired.
Planning or conspiring to assassinate may indicate the situation more.

[johnmacias]

How do we know it wasn't stage?just for the election?

[PUBHEAD]

Relax Donald, the dude was shooting at gophers, not golfers

[leahashcroft]

An American citizen. Had gun on person. Nearby. Not aiming or shooting. You guys are really dropping your standards on what constitutes an assassination attempt.

[moee]

CBS needs to call him out on his lies. Its his own and republican rhetoric...clowns 🤡 🙄
