Now I am really worried about the King and Queen’s visit tomorrow.

No conspiracy theorists just people who doubt Trump. He has proved to be a liar and liable to do unbelievable things. Sensible people don't believe everything Trump says and disagree with much that he does.

That’s Trump himself not the whole administration or security people.
Just because he personally lies for the gold medal at the Olympics doesn’t mean that every would be assassin is staged.
There’s enough evidence already out there about this man, Cole.

I doubt very much that Primrose53 is only talking about your posts WWmark2
Possibly about the very many other posts on this subject.
It’s sure surprised me how many conspiracy theorists there are on this forum.

Apart from perhaps one or maybe two people Trump appears universally and strongly disliked on GN.

Good to know that our moral compasses are firmly in tact.

I don’t like Trump but am not so daft as to believe, against all the evidence, that it was staged.

i can only think some people are brainwashed.
They will never admit they are wrong and it wasn’t staged.
Just catching up on posts tonight and they are really disturbing.
Like Trump or not it is shocking for people to almost support the gunman and also wish Trump dead. It is just horrible.

primrose you are reading into my post, something that simply isn’t there.

I do not suggest it was staged - earlier on I do say that the truth is always difficult to get at because Trump continually lies.

I certainly do not support the gunman, neither have I at any time done so.

I have never said that I wish Trump dead.

Your comments are a total illusion.

All you conspiracy theorists are so far down the rabbit hole it will be hard to climb out.😁

Where was all the pearl clutching when Trump proudly declared he was glad Robert Muellar was dead? Where was the fake outrage when right-winged extremists murdered the democratic politicians from Minnesota and Trump intentionally went online to show he was ignoring their deaths? Where was the chorus of disgust when he wished Hunter Biden dead? Trump is an evil man. His administration continues to do evil things every day. This regime is one of liars, woman beaters, and drunkards who celebrate the deaths of innocents. I believe that the shooter is who the media says he is, but I will always remain skeptical that he went totally unassisted and off the radar through this “plot”. Knowing how these people lie, I’m not convinced he wasn’t simply a useful idiot who didn’t realize he was more prop than threat from the beginning.

I think it was a set up as his ratings are going down!

Why? They have plenty security!

And what about the wives left to fend for themselves under the table, their husbands Vance and Trump didn’t think twice.

I know! All those Alpha males with not a glance back. The bald chap with the pregnant wife was the only one who acted differently, and better.

Trump is capable of anything.

Seems to me that several on here are too. Some of the comments are dreadful. What happened to “be kind”?

Oh Whiewavemark2 do you even realise how smug you sound?
As though everyone here is on Team A and I’m on Team B?

Well at least I don’t countenance shooting from anyone TO anyone.

Some on here sound as though they wished the deranged gunman had actually shot Trump.

Beggars belief.

I don’t it beggars belief.

I don’t think anyone on here genuinely wishes Trump dead, but I can understand passing thoughts, Trump is responsible for worldwide chaos, his orders and actions have killed others, both directly and indirectly.

He’s a man that needs stopping, I’d prefer this was done by locking him up somewhere, a secure unit or prison, but those who think he should just be left to continue his reign of utter chaos and in cases terror, need to think long and hard.

I wish he was dead he is Evil and getting more and more dangerous every day, how many more innocent people have to die because of him.
He’s getting more and more like Hitler everyday

I cannot believe I am reading this. Truly shocking.

Maremia Mon 27-Apr-26 20:33:49

People on here are the same as what?

Maremia Mon 27-Apr-26 20:33:07

It is interesting to read how this event is being reported in foreign newspapers.

Casdon Mon 27-Apr-26 20:31:13

When the rhetoric shifts, people say things that would previously have been considered unsayable, yes.

By the way, at no point have I said anything about wishing Trump was killed, I’m just interested in what people consider to be extremist language, or if you still think that’s what it is, Galaxy, fascist language

Galaxy Mon 27-Apr-26 20:21:53

So people on here are the same then.

I think what has shifted is the rhetoric rather than the extremism. Trump publicly wished Hunter Biden dead, if you remember.

👏👏👏👏

Cossy Mon 27-Apr-26 20:15:24

The thing is, no one, not in or out of the USA has properly stood up to Trump, bar Europe not blinding following him into war with Iran.

Trump has done so much damage, where is the control?

There might be plenty of laws/legislation/policies in place to control or limits the power of the POTUS, but a person or people have to instigate them, where are these people?

Well said Galaxy
There are some pretty blurry lines on here that have shocked me to be honest.

Where?
