Apparently, Trump was doing some unscheduled golfing with his friend Steve Witkoff, a fellow New York real estate developer.

And yet gunman somehow happened to just be there at the right moment? :-?

Gunman also had a GoPro to record his act.

So far the postings on Trump's golf events from a US based liberal forum:
1. The shooter is a white, cis individual...not a black, trans. Probably a deranged & disgruntled Republican voter.
2. I would not be surprised if the whole thing was staged by Trump. Last attempt bumped him a point in the polls...since he is trailing KH (which he cannot digest), desperate attempt to regain some points.
3. No shots were actually fired. Lets not call it as assassination attempt.
4. An individual with this level of criminal history can get access to high powered rifles...only in America. {This part is true though :)}
5. Elon/Twitter deleted the shooter's account immediately and promptly...to hide the evidence of him being a Republican voter.

No mention of individual sentiments towards Ukraine or any such sort.

This is the most detailed MSM article I could find right now on the political background of Ryan Routh:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 13498.html

This guy was a 2016 Trump voter but got disgruntled later (like a lot of people). Also he had hyper-zealous views on the Ukraine war and against Putin (probably got even more enraged by Trump's assertion of letting Putin do whatever the hell he wants).

Like I said before, its scary that citizens are increasingly willing to convert their extreme dislike of a political candidate into actual targeting with weapons - enabled by the proliferation of guns and gun culture. This is a similar mentality as the school shooters/mass shooters.

People who are disgruntled, hyper-zealous are all Abrahamic traits, we see such behaviour all over the Western world and the middle east. The hyper-zealous part with the US is against some foreign foe in some distant land which happens to be गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya's current foe. Everyone please be understanding that the गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya foe is the US foe too and all citizens of the US need to align with this thinking. It happened with Saddam Hussein, Muhamar Gaddafi, etc. The Islamic terrors groups are at one extreme of being disgruntled, hyper-zealous since their kitab says so. Nothing much to be learned other than to deal with them appropriately and correctly. The US however is overun with गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya which has CIA/FBI/Judiciary/State Dept and other assorted babucracy. Notice how these assasination attempts are only on the opposition candidate not aligned with गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya, nothing against the ruling Dumbocrats. I am presuming there are many who are disgruntled hyper-zealous against these floozies too, but they are kept, surprisingly, in check by the CIA/FBI/Judiciary/State Dept. How convenient! No one questions the queen vicky nuland and her hyper-zealous for ever pissed off thinking.

Rashid Merchant is a Pakistani born citizen who was living in Iran. He has an Iranian wife with whom he has child. He came from Iran to the US and then met a couple of hitmen. Gave them USD 5K in cash to create protests near a top politician so that USSS detail is distracted so that the hitmen could take out the target. Unfortunately for that for our shittistani, one of the hitmen turned out to be an undercover FBI agent. :rotfl:

Most Republican voters before Trump arrived were cold war, jingoistic, war mongering dominate the world types. Always for Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Korea wars and became very pro-war after 9/11. A lot of these guys got reality check during prolonged war of Iraq, Afghanistan and lies of Bush/Cheney.

All Republicans voted for Trump but some of them became Never Trumper for variety of reasons. His moronic talk, 24x7 bragging or self centered promotion but some mainly his no war attitude. Many Republicans were aggressive, pro war and neocon supporters mainly Bush Republicans. They all are anti-Trump now. If Desantis was the candidate, I think he would have easily won but he couldn't get past primaries due to MAGA.

Now neocons are fully integrated with DNC and most Deomcrat base is gung ho on wars, regime changes, MIC as long as it generated billions for their NGOs. So Democrats designed a way. Print Trillions, pass some of it to NGOs for propaganda and identity groups. Just use Putin or Xi or Assad and do 24x7 thru media.

Now you have uni party. Traditional Republicans and Democrats are silent partners.

America is going thru a churn. There is no left or right. Print Trillions and share it among thieves weapons lobbies, Finance lobbies, Pharma lobbies and immigration scam lobbies. At one time it used to be national interest meaning any resource that is important to us has to be ours no matter. Most wars were for resources. Now it is just make millions. Obama is worth $70-100M, Hillary - Billions and even senators like Warren - wealth rose from $3M to 36M in 10 years, Pelosi - Hundreds of Millions. In case of Republicans, it is always Money. They are printing like hell, routing money for wars and making money on arms companies, routing billions to NGOs which bring illegal migrants and settle them in hotels owned by politicians and food companies they own distribute food. It's like full party before the sh1t hits the fan. Pharma/Hospital lobby funds billions to politicians so that they force trans on little kids and make this LGBTQ a major rallying point

No single lobby can dominate. Multiple lobbies have to come together to become a ruling coalition.
In this case, the main dominant lobbies are Welfare State and Security State.
Welfare State are led by Obama Democrats and Security State are led by NeoCons
NeoCons mainly consist of military-industrial complex as well as Israel lobby, and now also the nascent Ukraine lobby - but then there's also a China containment lobby which only has varying degrees of support from the others)


I feel that Asian Americans should get together to form better lobbies -- mainly starting with US higher education system, which heavily discriminates against Asians due to quota raj.
Asian Americans should fund separate schools which don't practice quota-giri, and they should build up powerful endowments for them, which will enable them to self-fund.
Outwardly, they can resort to labels like "Historically Asian Colleges", etc (just as African-Americans and pretenders like Kamala love to tout their "Historically African American Colleges") -- but in practice they would be open to applicants of all ethnicities and background in total disregard to quotas.

Doesn't work like that. Every issue above does matter to a lot of people. This idea that common Americans are collectively stupid/easily fooled is a half-baked one. This is like saying election issues in India - which go by similar names - don't matter and are a distraction.

Like I said before, some people write as though USA is the same country it was in 1900 or even 1975. It's not. It has become much more diverse/heterogeneous and different people are asserting themselves. These simple-minded arguments don't work any more.

Sure, I can certainly believe that politicians want to continue corruption/self-enrichment. Hardly a feature unique to USA. Prior the emergence of Modi sarkar, India too was plain-and-simple a playground for poltoos to enrich themselves and sell out to foreign powers in the process.
Trump is a maverick and outsider. In his first term they managed to surround him with establishment people like Pence and cobbled him.
A lot of people thought that (foolishly) in 2016. In hindsight, he has been an insider to the system all his life, and gaming this system (with help from poltoos and others) to stay afloat in business. In 2016 he extended that to politics. It is pure self-interest and family-interest that drives him. That's just fine in business, but not in public service.

Not sure who is "they" here. Trump had full and free choice of his 2016 cabinet and claimed they were "the best", but they nearly all left him due to the complete chaos and lack of any systematic direction, plus the personal harassment. Now he claims the same people are "the worst". If his judgement as a President is so bad that he mistakenly formed a cabinet of "worst" people, the question arises why anyone should trust his judgement in such a key appointment - and will the fate of any upcoming "the REAL best" 2024 cabinet be the same ? :P

It does work like that. Every issue above does matter to a lot of people who have mental illness or are corrupt. This idea that common Americans are collectively stupid/easily fooled is an absolute truth. This is an absolute truth like saying election issues in India don't matter, because caste and freebies are primary concerns over development.

Like I said before, some people write as though USA is the same country it was in 1900 or even 1975. It's not. It has become much more incompetent, corrupt, riddled with gun violence, mental illness and woke ideology where different people are asserting to enrich themselves. These are very simple concepts to grasp and have become self evident to any neutral observer.

Sure, I can certainly believe that politicians want to continue corruption/self-enrichment. Hardly a feature unique to USA, but the level of corruption in the USA is unparalleled to anywhere else in the world. It's on the order of trillions of USD. In India, in the era of the Modi sarkar, most other political parties remain as a plain-and-simple playground for poltoos to enrich themselves and sell out to foreign powers in the process. We see it in Rahul Gandhi meeting with Harris and Obama and we see it in the US regime creating a mess in Bangladesh.

It is pure self-interest and family-interest that drives him. That's just fine in business and politics because he's doing the same thing the neocons + neolibs have been doing for decades. Case in point, Nancy Pelosi's portfolio is over 45% this year. I wish I could make her trades with DC insider info.

Trump had no choice in his 2016 cabinet since the neocons jumped on board thinking he was a simpleton, and Trump claimed they were "the best", but they nearly all left him because he wouldn't play their world domination game by starting global conflict and wars. Case in point, in June 2019 neocons wanted to start a war with Iran that Trump didn't want. Now he correctly claims the same people are "the worst". If his judgement as a president is spot-on about key cabinet officials, the question arises why anyone should trust his judgement in such a key appointment? The reason is the neocons have been purged by the MAGA movement, which includes ending the Russia-Ukraine war and the administrative state. The knives are out for Trump.

After Richard Nixon, all republican presidents of the US were not lawyers - George H Bush, George W Bush, D J Trump. The entire crop of Dumbos like B Clinton, Obama, Biden are lawyers and we know that a lawyer is basically a crook more so if in politics. B Clinton cleverly used republican ideas to further his presidency. His rule was okay but he sold out to the chinese lock stock and barrel. Obama and Biden are disasters for the US nation, no one in the world respects their rulership and the US is more or less into self destruct mode. Things like women's rights, abortion, LGBTQ, Black Lives, immigration are pipsqueak issues not worthy of its trumped up importance. BTW, these issues have been sanely solved by other nations in a much better manner. Asian countries have had women PMs heading their nations unlike the US. Blacks are better integrated in Latin American nations than the US.

Currently the गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya is in complete control of CIA/FBI/Judiciary/SD/US Babucracy. This has to be understood as to how the US operates. All kinds of crazy things happen because alleged people turn coat or some babu suddenly becomes important in terms of the direction that the US takes - eg. Vicky Nuland running the entire Ukraine policy. The US president is like an El Presidente, thinking they are running the show but the Babucracy behind the scenes funded by गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya is in complete control. None of the decisions are easy because the US Babucracy has a tight grid like control. Then there are lawyers in several depts including CIA/FBI/Judiciary/SD who at the slightest hint will press charges and impeach you.

El Presidente can have the best cabinet but these unelected babus funded by गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya will run circles around you. Some of the elected people in the US congress/senate are also on गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya payroll. The गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya has the entire US media under its belt and they control the narrative anytime. Notice how the recent ABC hosted Presidential debates went one way and was so skewed, it looked ridiculous at times. The El Presidente is manipulated to such an extent that they follow the policy as set by गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya, any trip up and they are impeached. All other things are just a distraction to keep the people occupied and away from the main thrust of गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya. The गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya is interested in such topics like immigration because it suits their bigger goals. BTW there are touts who charge immigrants and guess where the loot goes - yes, गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya benefits. The LGBTQ is a sinister plan to ruin the children of the US and also cause chaos in US companies not in गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya control. The गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya has many LGBTQ types in charge.

After the US civil war, integration of blacks had begun, but Woodrow Wilson 1913-1921, a Democrat, imposed many anti-black policies that went forward many years. Including removing key blacks appointed to federal positions hired by previous Republican presidents. Wilson also excluded blacks from federal government civil service. By the 1920s blacks who were making economic progress in the midwest & south were subjected to even more violence culminating with events like the Tulsa race riots.

The US military remained segregated until 1947. Roosevelt in 1936 refused to allow Jesse Owen’s visit the White House after his Olympics gold medal in track & field. Sundown towns across the US remained in place by local ordinances into the late 1960s and later. One has to wonder about the impact of US policies, after social programs enacted in the 1960s, have done to black families that are completed fragmented today.
