Another assassination attempt on Donald Trump

It should be called off.

The shooter was staying at the hotel, so apparently they don't check guests for weapons!

I expect that security will now be tightened, so don't worry. It was better that it happened before the visit and not during.

Some are saying it was a fake attempt to distract from trump’s poor polling figures, the Epstein files and the Iran war. Whatever, they missed again.

What a good excuse to call a he visit off!

I wish I shared your optimism, Chestnut. There are far too many nutters walking around with guns and security which is far from infallible. There have been three attempts so far.

I feel sorry for Melania …. It’s traumatic by now.

It was either another stunt or the security is useless.

A stunt? By whom?
A security man has been injured, saved by his bullet proof vest.

It must have been a stunt. With 4 previous presidents assassinated, the attempted assassination of Reagan and the already 'attempted assassination' of Trump, I can't believe that the security could be that useless.

It could be either! Certainly, the video showing the gunman run past the security check seemed less than impresssive. So much room for someone to rush past.

And how does anyone manage to 'conceal' a shotgun?

Yes, seems like security was very lax. An attendee wrote the following on BBC site.
“All the roads had been closed around the Hilton for hours, blocked off by law enforcement. But the security at the venue itself wasn't particularly heavy.
The man on the door outside only took a cursory look at my ticket from what must have been six feet away.
We took the lift down to the ballroom, and an agent wanded me but wasn't particularly interested in the bleeps set off by the contents of my inside jacket pocket. They did not ask me to turn out my belongings.
In short, the security felt like a regular White House Correspondents Dinner - one without the sitting president in attendance”.

Trump exists in a miasma of lies and diversionary tactics so it is anybody's guess whether this is real or yet another stunt.

FWIW, I could go either way on this. It is probably another real attempt with very lax security. But, if we have any question about the validity if this, Trump only has himself to blame because of his lies and law breaking.
