Not a fan of Trump or assassination attempts. Just because this madness is becoming normal doesn't make it okay.

[michaelmartinez]

Sure you don’t want to “fact-check” this one, ABC?

[AverageJoe]

Apparent ? Time to fact check ABC News .

[eeroala]

The FBI is investigating why their recent assassination attempt failed.

[MileHile]

Wish kids in school had this level of protection.

[kemattj]

ABC Fact Checker: "This was not an attempted assassination attempt on Trump."

[sunod]

Oh boy, I feel so much safer now that the FBI is investigating an apparent attempt of a shooting.

[roselvira]

Question: Who told this shooter Trump was going to be there playing golf? Who else was involved?

[EdwardNeblett]

I'm surprised ABC is even reporting on this.

[jwiki]

Yea and ABC should be held accountable for contributing to these crimes by spreading the rhetoric you do!!!

[ProtossHyrdalisk]

Really shocked that the guy that finds a new group to hate each day has a lot of enemies.

As an Indian " we are concerned about US democracy and freedom of expression " . US should repair their democratic systems rather than judge other countries. 🇮🇳🙏🏻

" This isn't freedom. This is fear." Captain America.

[stevef]

I can’t wait until ABC tries to spin this as a Republican trying to take him out 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[supercold]

THIS IS YOUR "2ND AMENDMENT SOLUTION", TRUMP. IT'S A FACT OF LIFE. I DON'T REALLY CARE, DO YOU?

[siriannacortanesca]

Really ABC? Why aren’t you having David Muir or Linsey what’s her face “reporting” on this?

[Barbarus]

Well good luck with that. We know what happens when law enforcement investigates itself.

[KaiBannon]

No wonder he keeps trying to get killed even though he thinks he's innocent of everything.

[vernonscloset]

Until these kids in the schools are PROTECTED, I don’t care nor do I feel sorry. Next story, please?

[patrician.]

Was DT the target!🧐
He should be behind the Bulletproof Pen shielded!
However since the Rally incident the Secret Service (Bless them) are on their “Best A Game” to defend DT by opening fire.
Thank goodness the “Secret Service is Safe” as well all Law Enforcement.

Violence is not acceptable or should never happen on American Soil, Point Blank!
