PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION, RNC CONVENTION. 5 SHOTS FIRED 4 HIT, 1 KILLED, 3 WOUNDED.
The US Military has a term for what happened. 'FUBAR', F' UP BEYOND ALL REASON, OR INCOMPTENCE.
This is and will forever be an Iconic photo, for a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. July, 13,2024. I had gone outside to feed my hens. My husband (84) hollered out the door for me, no explanation why. I have severe hearing loss and wear Hearing Aids, so I don’t always hear him well. He doesn’t watch the news, so the story was Breaking News as it should be. I sat most of the day watching TV. The last Presidential Assassination was President John F. Kennedy. Shortly after noon on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated as he rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. I was a High School Sophomore.
Firecracker-like shots were fired on the replay. He had just turned his head. President Trump is a very active speaker at such events. Not like at a press conference. Unlike President Biden who is like a statue, unless he’s agitated or angry.
We live in strange times for our generation 1940 and 1948. We are the last of the Boomer Post WW11 generation. It will not surprise anyone who reads my Scribbles. I’m an old fashion Evangelical Christian, Conservative, Alpha, and First Born. And a TRUMP SUPPORTER since the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections. The last four years have been extremely ILLOGICAL. 2% of the immoral Population now have more importance than the average citizen. Christians are arrested and imprisoned, while lawbreakers go free.
Day one is chaotic. We knew he was wounded, but not really how bad. When he dropped to the ground I thought the worse. Then he orders his Security team to get off him. And asks where are my shoes. We found out later the SS removed them before leaving the stage.
As the saying goes ‘THE BUCK STOPS HERE’. First with the current President, then with the head of his Homeland Security, next in line is the Police Chief of Butler, Pennsylvania. THEY ALL FAILED. THUS I CALL IT FUBAR. ON PURPOSE OR INCOMPETENCE we Peons will never really know. But it does take time to add it all up.
