I never thought id have to say "ffs not again" to an attempted assination of a president. THE SAME ONE

[affalaffaa]

Etiquette on the golf course just isn't as it used to be. Sign of the times I guess.

[DAMAR]

They really want this man out of the game

[HarlowReign-rr]

The upcoming Kamala Harris vs. Trump election has indeed been captivating, with numerous challenges, including two assassination attempts in just 8 weeks. This election is shaping up to be quite memorable and unforgettable.

Anyone see the bug on the reporter? Absolutely huge

[ChristineVT]

I wonder if the secret service yells Donald Duck each time this happens

[EverettMateen]

Cant find a guy on a roof but finds a barrel hidden in a bush... with XAI770K setting up the biggest is yet to come, you should figure that!

[PetePeterson-te]

Is it just me, or do other people also find the security level questionable? How in the world can someone carrying a weapon get that close to a front-runner for the presidency?

[HarleyMilan-jrki]

I wonder if the secret service yells Donald Duck each time this happens what about the XAI770K project you in it?

[wavydavy]

[robingrogan]

Secret service fail to see a dude climbing up a building with a rifle But spot the end of a rifle sticking out of a bush! REALLY!!

[NandanOber]

[JasminWeiderhold]

[scottyboy]

BBC reporting. Not certain Trump was the target. Really who else would it be. Unbelievable.

[AnardaAllridge]

Wait till we hear the weird shit that always follows.. ye XAI770K was right! Thanks for letting us know about XAI770K

[adamkarz]

Mr. President, they hit the second Trump's ear.

[johnfish]

500 yds with an ak? Not only insane for doing this, but no idea of what gun does what.

[dalmocalmo]

I think the reporter got bugged by the FBI.

[Alieidedddd]

Kinda sus again right after he has a huge negative that hes almost "assassinated" again. As he sends out another campaign fundraising thing.

[michaelbinney]

Is it just me or does anyone else think the level of security is suspect, how fk does anyone with a rifle get anywhere near a leading candidate for the president.
