He clearly reaches for the side of his head before going down. It seems likely he was hit by something.

No, Marge. Trump and people like you who spend your waking hours working people into a frenzy with your message of violence and hate are to blame.

The usual suspects are already trying to spin this as a triumphant moment of badassery rather than a great time to pause for reflection. Itās so fucking gross.

If - as reported- the shooter was in a nearby tower. Itās a real failure to not have secured it. This is on a farm, right? Not too many towers nearby with a good line of sight.

statement from the president:
I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trumpās rally in Pennsylvania.
Iām grateful to hear that heās safe and doing well. Iām praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.
Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. Thereās no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.

Itās probably a good idea for everyone to give some thought to their own safety after this. Itās likely to agitate the far right. Well, agitate even more.

If anyone is responsible for what happened today itās the people who work tirelessly to ensure that no one in America can be prevented from getting their hands on a firearm.

Yeah as a PR move āattempted assassinationā is a huge gift to the Trump campaign. Heās going to milk it harder than Teddy Roosevelt did with the bloody shirt speech.
Got I hate whatever fucking nimrod is responsible for this.

Unfortunately that doesnāt matter. If Trumpās mugshot can become a heroic image of strength and defiance, so can this.
