Donald Trump’s assassination attempts are a ‘grave moment in American life’

The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says Donald Trump’s assassination attempts are a “grave moment in American life”.
The FBI are investigating the second assassination attempt of former US President Donald Trump in Florida.
Suspected shooter Ryan Wesley Routh appears to be a staunch supporter of Ukraine - and has a complex set of political views.

[@SPACEMAN_fkYT]

The shooter had cameras with him. They are known for not being too bright and filming themselves committing crimes.

[@justlikeredwine]

What crime did he commit?

[@FranksHairSalon]

Yep. That's maga's for you. Not real sharp. That's why tRump loves them. They are SO gullible and will believe anything.

Not once, but twice, our fairly-elected presidential candidate has had an attempt on his life. Meanwhile, we weren't even allowed a fair vote for the Democrat "candidate". Unreal... I'll be honest, I'm not crazy about the guy, but I can say with absolute certainty he did a much better job at running this country. During his presidency, I hade hope for a bright future, but over the past few years, that hope has been absolutely desecrated. Trump has a chance at undoing the damage done by the current administration and getting us pointed in the right direction. I can only hope my fellow Americans see this and will vote with our future's best interest in mind before it's too late...

His comments about Hannibal Lecter were to point out that there are some very evil people coming across the southern border, and he was comparing them to an evil movie character that most would be familiar with. As far as "airports in 1776", Trump did make a mistake 5 years ago, reading something that was mistakenly put on the teleprompter. Is that the best you've got?
