Et qui regardait avant dans la direction du tire ??pourquoi ? Tout cela est étrange et j'espere qu'ils vont visionner les vidéos pour comprendre la magouille de l'état profond de la cia??

This is absolutely disgusting! You'll always see this happen to the people that are truly in for the people. The swamp is deep and has to be drained for good. TRUMP

So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye, ” Biden said, adding: “We can’t go another day, another day, without explaining what he’s doing, and we have to go after him.”

No one is addressing the agent that took aim at Trump @50 seconds. He aimed into the vehicle through the gap between the open door and vehicle.

GOD IS IN CONTROL....revealing evil and saving good.😊

The guy in military style/color gear aimed his gun at Trump getting in the vehicle after he received a call or radio message.

[Marcelino]

0:46 the military guy on the radio clearly starts to aim at Trump and then probably is told to stand down because it would be too obvious. Or am I just seeing things lol...

[sandrageter]

They spent to much money on all those people guarding him. They could cut that security detail by half. He should pay his teleprompter guy.

Bidenos et ces potes sont la derrière ca ne va pas lui porter chance le sinile

[suburbanview]

LOL this is another gun violence incident, and I pray for Trump and wish him well, and let's forget about it. Giving the same treatment Trump did to the parents who lost dozens of children to the mass murder at schools. It is just a mentally ill person who used one of the 300 million guns in the country to do son personal bid. NOW, LETS FORGET ABOUT THIS LIKE TRUMP DID IN THE PAST.

😮 This is the type of sh... Trump wants now he got a piece of his own medicine
