........but it would have been more impressive if "Our God" had prevented the assassination attempt in the first place.

Just where was he when the would-be assassin pulled the trigger?

Speaking to Democrat voters in America on Facebook who are horrified at the thought of Trump being president again, especially when it comes to women’s rights, even they ask the UK to ‘pray for them’.Americans seem to be so dominated by the church.

They are, Maybee, I have family and friends out there who always ask for prayers for different things.

If the prayers are answered then it's all thanks to God. If not , then it was God's will.

Many of us here in Australia do,too. All the time and especially if someone is ill or suffering.

Apparently a sign of true love.

I think it is keeping the loose screw in.

It was Bob Dylan who raised the question whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side. Perhaps Trump is in good company!

I saw this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What is the matter with these people?
I doesn't matter what Populist bod these people tie their wagons to, America is in decline and none of these saviours will be the answer.

What the bloody hell are these people doing with the ear bandage??? Is that real? Are they actually doing that?

Have they gone completely mad!

I really thought the pictures were photo shopped and wasn’t going to be fooled by it…..confused…and then I realised they were actually doing it!

You should read Project 25 to see the calibre of Trump as president. I wouldn't want to be an American if he gets in. It's frightening.

nanna8 Fri 19-Jul-24 08:08:17

Oh good for them if they want to show support for their potential leader that way. I think it is funny, very in your face.

here's a description of it - pretty grim democracy wise.
(amongst many other things, as I suspected, it would pull the FBI apart, which has been a thorn in Trumps side as its not under presidential control)
(another I spotted was "The document suggests that the department of Health and Human Services should "maintain a biblically based, social science-reinforced definition of marriage and family"

Melanie was at the RNC by her husband’s side. What is wrong with you people? I do pray he gets in as President again.

Grandmabatty Fri 19-Jul-24 12:25:23

Nothing wrong with anybody posting on here. We are all entitled to an opinion and just because it doesn't agree with yours, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with us. I would say, "calm down dear," but I expect you would take it the wrong way.

Wyllow3 Fri 19-Jul-24 12:25:43

Nothing is "wrong" - no one has condoned the shooting, we just disagree profoundly with his politics.

Arto1s Fri 19-Jul-24 12:35:13

Of course you would say that Grandmabatty Your condescension is palpable.

I am sorry this would be a terrible thing for the USA . There was an article in the Financial Times ( a very conservative newspaper ) that said if Trump follows through with his proposals there will be a depression . This is how dangerous he is !

flump Fri 19-Jul-24 12:51:10

Artols, just for clarification, are you American or British?

There is a good film on Netflix at the moment called Sloane. It is set in the 80s and is about a lobbyist (Sloane) who leaves the firm where she works because she is opposed to their stance on the gun laws. It shows the way in which senators are persuaded/coerced to defeat an attempt to change the gun laws by ensuring that everyone who wants to buy a gun must undergo back ground checks.

I am so worried about Trump winning
He tells lies with such confidence that folks believe him
He is turning America into The Handmaids Tale - God help us all

Grandmabatty Fri 19-Jul-24 13:00:22

I am sorry you felt I was being condescending when I was attempting to lighten your aggressive attitude.

Nope, not sorry. Trump is a vile man who deserves to be in jail for inciting the Jan riots. He has a woeful attitude towards women, Hispanic people, black people, in fact anyone who isn't him. He lies as easily as he breathes, is corrupt and bankrupt. So you wishing he was back in the White House says more about you than I need to

Trump only believes in Trump, or perhaps it is more correct to say that like every narcissist the point of his life is to try to believe in himself, and devil take anyone who isn't on board with that agenda. I can't believe anyone is seriously discussing this! It was clearly staged. The lad had been on the roof for, some say, 20 minutes, and the security services were not interested. I'm not sure exactly what was going on, and I feel very sorry for the poor man and his family who were collateral damage in all of this, but the whole thing stinks. It's worked really well for Trump, as it was no doubt intended to. As for Biden's call - did he actually know to whom he was speaking? He's so senile he'd have a problem remembering what his phone is! The whole thing is an absolute s* show and scary for the world.

If I believed in God I’d thank him/her/it/them, that I live in the U.K. and not in the USA.

I just love that Ww.

keepingquiet Fri 19-Jul-24 13:42:33

It wasn't staged. Stop feeding conspiracies. He missed him by a whisker- could so easily have done serious damage.

Trump is an opportunist and is now using it to further his ends. It shouldnt change anything, but in the shallow world of US politics and the media it clearly does.
