True, given the backlash.

But a nice heart attack would be another story

This is not a good look for you.

I don’t think a natural cause death would do anything to quell the narratives either. Those narratives are self sustaining at this point. People have forgotten what it’s like not to believe them.

There is no difference between that and wishing the shooter had not missed.

~~wishing~~ praying the shooter had not missed.

There is, because in practice the effects of him dying from, say, a heart attack or pancreatic cancer, would be very different from an assassination. Even this attempt will have a worse impact than a natural death, such is my prediction anyway.

If you think that there’s some link between these comments and the shooters action I’ll happily take the other side of that bet.

lol. Yeah you won’t find that particular quote framed on the bedroom wall of the shooter. You’d win the bet.

Reminiscent of the claims back in the BLM riots that the most lawless acts were committed by people with “no official ties to BLM”. Like so many people carry around BLM ID cards, so it means something when someone doesn’t have one.

That’s actually quite a compliment. “No way is Trump that awesome”. Mr Wise does not live up to his name.

There is another completely different type of foul reaction….Those pointing to Trump’s “miraculous” escape as an annointing

More like piss poor shooting. Range was short for a rifle. Aim was for the head, apparently (the banner in front of Trump covers a bullet-proof panel), instead of the "sniper's triangle". Probably a massive adrenaline dump caused the misses.

Note that the Secret Service sniper did not miss. One shot, and Mr. Crooks no longer had a head.

Training counts.
