OPINION
Dear Friends,
It was with horror as I watched the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, PA. The bullet missed his skull by an inch, but hit his right ear. The shooter opened fire from the top of a building approximately 160 yards away. Unfortunately a firefighter was killed and two others were also wounded who came to hear Trump speak.
Frankly, it was a miracle Donald Trump was not killed, as he turned his head just in time, preventing the bullet from piercing his skull. The shooter, a 20 year old named Thomas Mathew Crooks, was immediately shot and killed by a secret service sniper. Trump, after being swarmed by Secret Service agents, waved his fist in defiance, as he was removed and put in an ambulance. Indeed, it will be a picture shown around the world.
As to how the shooter was able to get on top of the nearby building in the first place is indeed of great concern and has prompted a huge investigation not only into the shooter, but also into apparent Secret Service incompetence and leadership. Trump is going to be Ok and has headed for the GOP Convention in Wisconsin.
In the aftermath of the assassination attempt, President Biden addressed the nation in an insipid speech about calming down the political rhetoric. Considering Biden’s consistent hate filled vitriol about Trump which no doubt in my view inspired the murders at the rally and attempted murder of former President Trump. Biden’s hypocrisy as usual was apparent.
Trump has been through hell by the Democrats in every way possible including the Russia deal, false criminal and civil charges, and now an attempt on his life. Well folks, Trump is still here and I believe he is going to be our next President. So be it.
What do you think ?? As always your comments are welcome and appreciated.
