During a campaign rally in Pennsylvania shots were fired while former US president Donald Trump addressed a crowd of supporters.
According to early reports from the secret service 4 shots were fired and Trump was seen bleeding from the ear following the exchange.
In quick and decisive action Trump’s secret service body guards jumped on top of him to shield him from further gunfire in a trained response to such threats.
Based on information released by the secret service an individual who was identified as the shooter was shot dead in response.
They also indicated that another man who was shot in the head was killed near his family and at least two others were critically injured.
Trump was escorted to the hospital but not before fist pumping into the air in a gesture to the crowd.
He has since released a statement claiming he was shot in the upper part of his ear.
In his statement on social media Trump thanked the secret service and extended his condolences to the family of the person who was killed at the rally.
He added “Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead.”
The details are yet to be verified but the investigation into the shooting is being labeled as one of “an attempted assassination”.
President Biden released a statement condemning the attack and he has since spoken to Trump via phone.
He stated: There is no place in America for this kind of violence, its sick its sick! he lamented.
Seeking sympathy, how come no body ran, not even his blacks placed right behind him. People sitting next to him took out phones, roof tops close by were not cleared?
Poor acting, with pin swiped behind ear like pro wrestling to draw fluid. I am not a Democrat with all their gay human rights having their way with poor countries that Republicans can’t even match, that amount of bravado makes them cringe for finally backing the racist Reagan wannabe.
l lie???
When I saw your title, “l lie ???” I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt but after reading your comments re Challotsville and how you are so selective in quoting Trump,
Why do you choose to withhold from us this statement from our next president Donald Trump.
“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazi and the White Nationalists,because they should be condemned totally”
I can give you more but…….
Sir, you have lost all credibility.
Just a question.
At what time Donald Trump became a racist.Was he one when he was an elite and “Who’s who” while he was a democrat,whose symbol is an ass? He poured thousands upon thousands of dollars in the party whose symbol is an ass.
At my wedding, my family,church members, friends and well wisher were invited.At one of Trump’s many weddings Bill and Hillary were his special guests.Was he a racist?
When Jesse Jackson (black) was a presidential candidate he wanted to be the one to face Reagan (republican).Do you know who was on stage with Jackson (democrat)
raising hands in the air together with Al sharpton, Mohammed Ali, Oprah Winfrey and Donald Trump. At the same time Oprah said
” I want to be like Donald Trump”
In 1999 Jesse Jackson held a massive ceremony on Trump’s behalf,highlighting his commitment and contributions for minorities especially blacks.
Again, was he racist or just because he became a republican?
Keep your shirt on JJ, shots rang and no one ran? Not even his 2 ‘blacks’ standing right behind him? wrestlers drew more fluid in the ring using the end of a tiny pin.
He did nothing in 4 years because he was busy, busy ‘undoing’ things Obama actually ‘did’, and still didn’t touch the gay stuff Obama was rejected for, even in his own home country Kenya.
What makes your bad-actor more special than Reagan?
Maybe one of the blacks behind him was JJ.
Here is just a tip of the iceberg sample:
The Justice Department undertook its own investigation and, in 1973, sued Trump Management for discriminating against blacks. Both Fred Trump (Donald’s father), the company’s chairman, and Donald Trump, its president, were named as defendants.
If you want additional eyewitness proof, go interview the Black service providers in Trump’s casinos who were routinely scuttled out of site when the “Grand Pouba” dropped in periodically at his establishments..you asked so there you have it.
@I Lie
What does that have to do with an assassination attempt?Why is it that so many people are wlaking on their brain.
When the “Grand Pouba” dropped in periodically.. Did you mean the “Grand Wizzard”?
Don’t you know his father was enrolled in the KKK? He was baptised in this most notorious, racist organization as a child.
There are devout Christians in this world but The Donald chose to be a devout racist.
lbo, it’s as usual with Dominicans you know: they like to dip into peoples business that has nothing to do with them; all like this guy Charles is just another wet fart playing he know so much about Mr. Trump!
Ask John Charles, and the other bits of wet fart dipping into America politics supporting evil, what is the reason Mr. Trump and his late father was prosecuted in New York, in cases that involve in the discrimination of blacks when they refuse to rent apartments to black applicants.
You know general election took place in England, this month, a new Labor Party government was elected, we have not heard or seen a single one of those dipping into America business said one one about it.
Not even the Mr. Man bite dog mentioned about it.
Indeed, in British politics, it is a much different, hence, less evil I may say, so that is of no interest to the wanna-be Dominica Americans.
Someone need to teach Dominicans what it is to live under a totalitarian or dictatorship!
Food for…
Charles, you are spewing a lot of lies, talking crap!
I don’t want to get into it, but if only you knew what you talking about you would have mentioned that many front page newspapers articles Trump paid for calling for the execution of three young black boys then, and a Hispanic he claimed raped a white woman in Central Park New York!
DNA has long exonerated the four, however Trump never apologized to the men of which one is now a government official in New York!
I advised you to listen to his nice and here hear what she conveys about him.
If that doesn’t convince you try renting an apartment or any other property if you are black!
Then return and run your mouth!
Why don’t you shut up, and concern yourself about him referring to black peoples country “the Caribbean Dominica” as a shi.-hole country.
Man shut up!
Dominicans always defending evil and people who kicked their behind!
Trump doesn’t know you nor Dominica.
don’t bother trying to use logic and reason with black people bro. There’s a reason why in the US they vote 90% for democrats despite the fact that they get nothing from them but words. They talk about everybody being racist against them yet they are responsible for the vast majority of homocides and violent crime against their own race. They make all kinds of excuses – poverty, disenfranchisement, slavery bla bla bla. Japan had two nuclear bombs dropped on them, the jews were almost exterminated in a genocide and yet those ethnic groups are doing much better than black people. Every race has had atrocities commited against them but black people seem to be the only one incapable of rising above adversity
What amazes me most is the crap people like you talk!
First of all America is not a place where neither a democrat or Republican government give things to people!
They implement economic ventures, development programs which produces millions of jobs so that anyone who is body able can find a job and work for a living, and not beg politicians.
I will never understand the logic behind your unwarranted arguments about what is going on in American politics. You all are talking as if Dominica is part of, or a colony of the United United States: there is no connection politically, economically or otherwise, so your argument about people not listening to Trump matters not. If you believe you as a black person will get a hand out from him, if he is elected, if you are in the United States, you might be the first to be deported back to Dominica.
I advise you all running your mouth, Biden nor Donald know you or Dominica exists.
Mind the poverty in which you all exist in Dominica!
Where is that rock you’re trying to climb from under, the DARK web of maga? Democrats, Republicans are two sides of the white supremacy working on your people.
You foolishly wrote “majority of homocides and violent crime against their own race” from their mainstream media, however, it’s so easy to go to fbi.com before writing isht. It says white on white and black on black crimes are the same %age but since there are more whites their ‘number’ is much larger (duh). Try it, go to fbi.com then come back.
Japan and Jews, Korea were all given REPARATION$ immediately as the war ended. But mainstream media has your view of reparations skewed as a curse woird, like is your f money.
Hitler also b*mbed London and Paris, and, they were given REPARATIONS that created mass immigration of our people to build back those cities. hmm that pal!
From the time Trump declared his candidacy in 2014/2015 democrats have been telling us how Trump is a danger to the U.S.and the world. If he is elected as president this will be the last election.CNN,NBC,MSNBC,ABC and almost all the print media like N.Y.Times etc is singing the same song.
Trump is a racist.He hate blacks,Hispanics and Asians.He also hate the poor. He have a hatred in his heart for foreigners,if elected he will send his followers (white supremacist)to execute journalists.
Although he was president for 4yrs and none of these happened.Just last week Joe Biden said, “I am setting a bullseye (target) on Trump. Since Trump is worse than Hitler,the 20yr old guy maybe thought he was helping the democrats.
I don’t blame my Dominican friends too much for believing these nonsense, because thats what they have been hearing on their TV over and over again.
Thanks be to God,we the voters,our eyes are opened.
@J.John-Charles – I am of the persuasion that many of the persons who claim Trump is a racist yadda yadda don’t actually listen to Trump in detail or assess things critically. I suspect that many of them form their misguided opinions by just listening to snippets the anti-Trump forces stitch together to demonize Trump.
The moment ‘The Puppet-Masters of The System’ realized they couldn’t control Trump as their puppet, they turned on him. At the moment, one has to seriously wonder who really is running America (behind-the-scenes). Definitely not Biden & Kamala.
Thank God the assassination attempt on Trump failed. The US (and world by extension) were a mere millimeter from serious instability.
#TrumpforPresident2024
Don’t make no excuses for them. There is enough access to information and people can find the truth very easily. I talk to people about this all the time but they stay stuck in their hatred for the man because that hatred comes from their own evil heart. Anybody who hate that man is EVIL in my eyes. I have yet to come across a legitimately good person that hates Trump. It’s always evil people that support things like illegal immigration, homosexuality etc racist black people who hate white people but ironically think that Trump is the racist that hates black people. People with good hearts are either just indifferent or they actually like him.
And you didn’t listen, which is why you are where you are today backtracking to find an answer.
@J.John-Charles
I have agreed with 99.9% of what you said. The problem with us here on island, is that we don’t do research to corroborate what we hear. We thrive on just repeating what we hear others say, and this is dangerous.
If this attempted assassination is not condemned, it will begin a cycle of murders of heads of government not just in America, but worldwide. Remember the Slovak leader Robert Fico was shot 5 times. He miraculously survived.
People must be careful of what they gloat over.
J.John-Charles it’s not just democrats who told the world of Trump being a danger, his now VP Vance told the world in 2016 that Donald Trump is a “Cynical A*# Hole and Americas Hitler” if his now VP once said that about him how can you blame democrats for calling him a racist. Lindsay Graham once said “To make America Great Again tell Trump to go to Hell” Mark Rubio said the same and even Ted Cruz called him a “Pathological Liar.” So don’t blame Democrats.
That is what UWP is made of dissidents.If Jesus Christ were to come to Dominica today and show UWP the wounds on his hands,feet and side they would still crucify him.They see and don’t believe.
Well that whole Jesus Christ fiaco was staged by the Romans. So could this too. 😇
Although I try not to agree with MEME,but I cannot not agree 100% this time.This man,MEME is a well read individual up to date with current and world events.What I cannot understand is why such a person can support a blue party that is corrupt to the bone.
I am asking Bwa how many people have turned against his party UWP?
Laureen BANNIS Roberts,Julius Timothy,Joshua Francis,Frankie CrazyT Bellot.Nichols Shanks Esprit and Joseph Isaac is he saying one of them should shoot Lennox Linton,Randy Rodney or Thompson Fontaine?My answer is NO if the party is as corrupt as UWP is then leave.
All those flip-floppers just went where the filthy money is. It was not by conviction. For sure it was for the love of money. The weakest leaves always fall off the tree. Money is their weakness.
Trump is a reality tv artist…….has always been.
34 counts of felony
de Republicans get caught with their pants down
and even after Biden embarrass himself on TV in de debate…..
Trump really needs all dat attention to convince himself that he can beat Biden?
What a comedy show boy!!!!!!!!!
I am a 911 survivor….i went through
THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT I COULD BELIEVE DAT COMEDY/REALITY TV SHOW
@dissident
You comment represents that of a sick person. Pure rubbish.
@dissident
Go do something useful with your time. Stupes
Wake up bro. That sheet is real, no drama or conspiracy theory here. People are tired of Trump repeating ALL those lies. Reminds me of a senior Dcan politician who would lie to God almighty just because he cant help himself. Life oh life…..
you should change your name to “deranged” because that’s what you sound like.
Véyé zafaire Zor, filozofe. Electoral reform for allu to make sure allu get and payment for those who work and cannot get paid. Let Americans deal with their matters.
Note that according to the FBI its a registered Republican (Trump Party Supporter) who made a donation to the Democrats (Biden Party) who tried to Daykarlay the fouled mouth, insulting, racist, wicked nincompoop with a weapon that he Trump and his party refused to ban. Khama is indeed a bi…. if you ask me! It also means that this is someone who turned on his party (Trump Republican Party) for whatever reason. Lesson learned in my view; you can fool the people sometimes but you cant fool all the people all the time.
When people get fed up with lying, deceiving, greedy politicians they take matters into their own hands and the results can be devastating. A million bodyguards cannot protect you 100%. Hopefully, that sends a message to all unscrupulous politicians and remind them that when the people plays possum/ manicou or goes moumoo, its because they are fed up and thats a dangerous period for the nation.
@Bwa-Banday
Why do you think that a Republican cant do that? I thought you would ask if he got any incentive to do so. Stop spewing senseless puffery. Do you know that one life was lost? Stop sounding like an idiot. Attempted murder should be condemned. Reasons why bloggers like MEME rise way above of you all.
stupid!
Good try Zara.
Tara Ried told us she was working in Biden senate office as an intern,and he S….Harassed her.Do you know who reminded us of this incident? The vice president Kamala Harris. In June 2019 while in a democratic primary debate, she said.
“I believe Tara Ried”
One more thing.There was a time in the U.S. that it was illegal for black children to travel on the same school bus with white children, so the powers that be wanted to stop this segregation, BUT your beloved Joe Biden fought tooth and nail against desegregation, and here is his reason.
“I do not want my children to grow up in a racial jungle”
He did not want his white children to travel to school with black children.
Again it was Kamala who reminded us of old Joe’s position towards blacks in June 2019.
Now here is the difference. All Republicans who was against Trump during the primary namely Rubio,Cruz, Graham and Vance, are now with him. Democrats are fighting with each other.
@Bwa-Banday
This represents the comment of a heartless and senssless buffoon. My friend life is precious, it is short and fickle. You have just shown yourself as a heartless prig to be gloating at what happened.
YOUR Unadulterated FOOL!
@Bwa-Banday
An ignorant and stupid comment. Do you know that a life was lost 2 are in danger?
The shooter did not make any donation to the democratic party. It was made by another person with the same name and mistakenly attributed to the shooter.
This is commonplace in the US. Multiple mass shootings happen everyday all over America. This shooting will get much publicity because someone well known was a victim.
It’s unfortunate and heart-wrenching that someone got killed so senselessly. May Donald Trump and the others who got injured quickly recover to full health.Sympathy to the family of the deceased.
These mass shootings will continue unabated as most citizens in the US have ready access to the most modern and sophisticated guns.
More rain more floods. It logically follows, more guns more shootings/murders.
There are more mass shootings in states like Illinois that are listed in the top states with the strictest gun laws. States like Idaho have more guns than those states yet they don’t have anywhere close to that level of gun crime. Most of those mass shootings occur in cities like Detroit and Chicago where whole crowds get shot over personal issues between a few people, and/or gang related issues. The people doing the shooting tend to be of a certain demographic. It’s not a gun problem. It’s a demographic problem
By the way Dominica technically has a high gun crime rate considering how low our population is and the number of gun crimes that have occured in the country. Guns are next to impossible to get here so how does that work?
Your statistics are flawed. Many of these states with stricter gun laws have illegal guns and ammunition brought into them from states with lax gun laws.
In countries like Japan and the United Kingdom which have very strict gun laws there is hardly any gun crimes. In the US with hardly any restriction on purchasing a gun shootings are daily.
With the prevalence of guns it logically follows that there will be a prevalence of gun crimes.
The people you mention in states like Illinois, Michigan represent the disenfranchised. Those entitled people in Idaho, Wyoming that emptied the store ageless of ar-15’s represent the disenfranchisers. No point here.
Let’s get real,fake news.You will agree the guy who did the shooting was a novice,a untrained and know nothing gunman.I refuse to believe this guy was a paid assassin.
There are former Dominican police officers who could EASILY take out Donald Trump..A 50 caliber from that distance is too much,a 7.62 caliber bolt action rifle or a 5.56 caliber semi- automatic rifle even an AR-15 would do the trick.The gunman got two chances to take out Trump.From what I know and what I say this gunman was not professional,if he was paid,he was made a scape goat.An assassin is assassinate and vanish.
This was obviously an assassination attempt. Or are we expected to believe that somebody just went to a Trump rally, got onto a roof and randomly started sniping in the direction of the former president? Get real. If it was the other guy they would be reporting this as a right wing motivated assassination attempt and they would have the killer’s identity and a motive already. Instead because it is TRUMP the whole media is trying to downplay what happened.
exactly. You are exactly right
I CONDEMN ALL ACTS OF VIOLENCE!!!
The secret service itself is complicit in what happened. I can’t imagine that it’s just gross incompetency on their part. They should all be jailed! How did this man get pass security? Why the secret service did nothing when attendees at the rally told them there is a man on the roof with a rifle? Really? Why was this strategic roof top left unmanned by the secret service? Many more questions to ask….
America is an evil, wicked and dangerous country. Biden’s vile, corrupt, aging and putrid tongue which spreads vitriolic garbage about Trump is surely a catalyst to go after Trump. Trump is no saint, he is equally terrible as Biden is, or even worse, but nothing merits a civilian taking or attempting to take someones life if it’s not in self defence.
Having said that, the attempt on Trumps life is almost a 100% guarantee that he will win the presidency.
The shooting was done by disenchanted, probably deranged youthful supporter of the red-neck, bigoted, evil Republican party
Neither Trump nor Biden deserves to be president. Biden is in severe cognitive decline, and Trump is an ultra-racist, functionally illiterate, mendacious crackpot.
Any black person who supports Trump deserves our collective contempt. When the five black men were falsely accused of raping a white lady ( The Central Park Five), although they were found innocent by a jury of their peers, Donald took out an AD in a newspaper calling for their execution. How dare these black men do such a thing to a white lady he agonized over!
You must live in an alternate universe. As much as the hypocritical masses spew vitriol about the sitting Dominican Prime Minister, they have no qualms in annointing and idolizing a divisive and despotic convicted leader like Trump.
Let me be absolutely clear, violence of any kind is despicable in any time or season. The regrettable fact is that inflammatory rhetoric has no place in civilized society. Lest not forget that it was Trump himself who failed to express any empathy for the victims in Charlottesville a few years ago, instead uttering “there are fine people on both sides” instead of calling out and condemning their violent acts.
I am not here for “likes” but only to speak straight truth to power. Call me anything but a liar or late for dinner!!!
@I Lie
Stop being a living contadiction, and read over you mangled mess of slimy gibberish and puffery. On the one hand you are happy it happened, on the other hand you are expressing regret. What a bone headed confused numskull. Thus should be dumped in the garbag pan.
Your mostly gibberish comments are usually laughable and clownish as your apt moniker MEME suggests; however, you have morphed into an outright clown with your twisted interpretation of my straightforward comment.
Thankfully, unlike you, I do not have to engage in verbal gymnastics or masturbation to malign any fellow poster who may have a difference of opinion or perspective.
I challenge you to explain how I am “happy it happened”. You are a classic case of “open mouth, insert foot”.
It was gross incompetence. The secret service is being run currently by a woman whose primary goal is to get as many women as possible into the secret service. No offense to women – they make great cooks, caretakers, mothers etc. But anybody who is based in reality knows that those types of dangerous situations, MOST women are not cut out for that. As was evidenced in this case where all of the women on the SS detail looked like they had no idea of what they were doing. One of them was almost half Trump’s height and could barely serve as a meat shield. Women are supposed to be protected. They are not meant to be protecters. People will call that sexist and what not but that’s the truth
Based on more recent information the shooter was 20 years old, white and a registered Republican. In other words, these are the people that are supporting Trump the most. Race: white, sex male, age : 20 youth, and a Republican. Most likely this young man felt that his future was threatened by the kind of future that Donald Trump is pushing if he becomes president.
What does all this mean to us. Those politicians that think they are God and can do anything they feel like because they feel they have the police to protect them, they better think twice because when people are fed up, feel threatened and feel hopeless going forward you just don’t know what they are planning to do to those threatening their future.
In the case of Trump luckily the secret service is always present and will do to protect Trump and others; but those in those small islands that think they are world boss better know that their security is weak and their enemies are not always those from without but fro…
