    If Kamala was at this golf course would you be singing a different tune? I have zero doubt they’re going to get whatever mileage they can out of this, but idk how we can pretend this is “nothing”.

    Also, I’m positive a person intending to kill a (former) president being arrested 600yds away from their target is newsworthy.

    I think Trump is reaping what he’s sown too, but I can’t pretend it’s remotely close to “nothing”

    edit: Im literally just saying this news story is newsworthy y’all. surprisingly controversial

      The media calling it an “attempt” is just clickbait. At best this is a “possible assassination plan.” And something similar happened to Gretchin Whitmer… it turned out to be an FBI entrapment scheme

        To be completely fair here: the reports are all saying that Trump’s location that day was not public information. So either this guy got real lucky to show up on a day Trump was playing golf, or else he had some information that very few other people had. Okay, granted, Trump plays golf a lot, so it could just be a coincidence. Still, it would be kind of ironic if it turned out someone in his own campaign was leaking info to the crazies.
