TWO failed assassination attempts on a FORMER President ⁉️ [View all]

The alleged assassination attempt this past July was the 2nd ever, in American history, on a former president. Two months later it’s happened again.

Trump is not just any former president. He’s a former president running a high-stakes campaign. He stands to gain immunity from mounting legal troubles if he wins. There’s also an added bonus of acquiring the power to enrich himself and fellow billionaires through promised tax cuts for the rich. He has a lot to gain personally by winning the presidency again.

We know things haven’t been going so well for Trump. A week ago he was bested during the presidential debate. Now he is trailing his opponent by up to six points in some battleground states. Just days ago he lashed out at NASDAQ for halting trading during a $4 billion plummet of his social media stock. He’s lashing out at celebrities and immigrants too for supporting his opponent. To make matters worse, the lashings don’t seem to be gaining any traction. His rallies are barely drawing crowds or attention.

Trump is apparently the luckiest man in the world. Both alleged attempts were by very clumsy individuals armed with powerful AR 15s. Both came in close proximity to Trump and both apparently fumbled. The coward doesn’t even bear a scar.

Luckily though he grabs media attention worldwide. Then the media takes over to paint a picture in both instances of a DEMOCRAT trying to kill Trump. Why would a leading opponent need to kill their rival?

This is another desperate attempt to change the narrative because Republicans have no narrative. They have nothing to offer the American people but divisiveness. If anything this attempt and the desperation that it shows tells me that Democrats should step up our campaigns to get out the vote because they don’t have anything else, but stunts to try to win. And the stunts are becoming obvious now. It’s really exhausting.

If I am wrong then I hope someone can make it make sense.
