He’ll be starting to get a little paranoid…

When you look at the terrain it’s pretty good attention to detail to spot a barrel sticking through the chain link fence. They’d just about have to be right on top of him which they can’t otherwise they’d have nailed him.
Apparently there are some 7000 secret service agents nationwide so bell curves and all there’s got to be a few sharper ones about.

The circumstances seem a bit odd. Apparently this golf trip wasn't preplanned. it was a spur of the moment thing almost. Of course Trump still travels round in a convoy big enough to massage his ego so he could be spotted.

It's reported the guy was there for 12 hours or so. Fairly good bet he'd play golf at some point. He's predictable in that at least.

I see Vance has come out and threatened to pull the US out of NATO unless the EU backs off it's attempt to get Musk to obey hate speech and misinformation laws on X.

Given how much money Musk has allegedly put into the Trump/Vance ticket you've got to assume he wants something back in return.

Sounds like responsible world stability is his first order of business.

How did A'merca stoop so low to have these mouthpieces having a voice?

As of the 19th of September US time Trump can legally sell his shares in his media empire. Prior to any sale though he is required to file documentation with the regulators. Reportedly no documents have yet been filed. He has been talking up the value of the stock which is illegal but...

Some analysts feel he may use the value of his stock holding as security against a loan. His lawyers have reported to the courts that he is unable to raise the required half billion bond payments so he needs cash.

We may not have to wait long for developments.

Except that, as shown, everyone is too scared to do anything before the elections…
Hopefully his own reckless stupidity will be his downfall to start with…

Wonder what they are going to charge him with? No target was in sight, he was outside the fence so not trespassing, he never fired at anything, and took off when someone started shooting at him. If owning a gun in Florida equates attempted assassination, then there must be literally millions who are guilty of that

They've found something in the gun laws to charge him with.

But Florida....On another - US based - forum a member was saying he carries a handgun when at home. His reasoning was that if he had it on him he wouldn't have to go to another room to get it. WHEN he needed it.

Yes, he lives in Florida. I pointed out that this summed up the difference between the US and the rest of the developed western world. Most agreed with me.

Last I heard, the charges relate to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
(Funnily obliterated serial numbers were the reason he got the original felony charge)

A half decent lawyer, obviously not a trump one, might be able to get him off those

Then he might fall out of Putins window etc…

More information is coming to light about the Trump crypto scheme. The two characters behind it are ummm interesting. One calls himself the dirtbag of the Internet. The other one used to earn a living telling guys how to win hot chicks. It seems the four Trump males are the marketing department.
