Confirmation on TSF being off the trail

[Ms. Toad]

69. Has that ever stopped him before?

His mental status hasn't changed dramatically since the assassination attempt, nor have any of the other stressors.

Rallies, and his adoring fans, are like food and air for him - so for him to stop them it must be something new and extraordinary. An assassination attempt fits that bill.

Virtually no one is taking the assassination attempt very seriously. That is in large part because he is such a buffoon that it was easy to imagine it was all a false flag operation. And since his physical injury wasn't serious (and he hammed it up immediately - and for a week or so after), it was easy to ridicule. Rather than focusing on how dangerous the shooter actually was, DU (and others) have been dismissing it as no big deal - calling it his little boo-boo, for example.

But having a bullet (or something you believe is a bullet) come close enough that had you not turned your head, had the shooter not been interrupted moments before firing, etc. you wouldn't be here now is sobering in a way that is much more serious than anyone has been giving it credit for.
