He is no Teddy Roosevelt 

 

Roosevelt was shot in front of the Gilpatrick Hotel by delusional saloonkeeper John Schrank, who believed the ghost of assassinated president William McKinley had directed him to kill Roosevelt. The bullet lodged in his chest after penetrating his steel eyeglass case and passing through a 50-page single-folded copy of the speech titled "Progressive Cause Greater Than Any Individual".  Schrank was disarmed and captured by Roosevelt's stenographer, Elbert E. Martin as he attempted to fire a second time, and might have been lynched had Roosevelt not shouted for Schrank to remain unharmed. Roosevelt assured the crowd he was all right, then ordered police to take Schrank and make sure no violence was done to him. As an experienced hunter and anatomist, Roosevelt correctly concluded that since he was not coughing blood, the bullet had not reached his lung. He declined suggestions to go to hospital immediately and instead delivered a 90-minute speech with blood seeping into his shirt.

Fake news, to use his own phrase. Don't believe one bit of that. He had the presence of mind to do the fist pump thing after someone tried to.kill him? A bloke who shit out of military service and egged people on at the Cspitol but didn't do any of it himself? Fuck off

Useless cunt. And the shooter.

 

 

Fuck off, they aren't rifle shots.

You can buy a pellet gun in your local fishing tackle shop that make more noise than that.

If they were rifle shots, then the fella firing then was in his front garden, behind a hedge, in Nicaragua.

To all the doubters, I reckon it’s entirely plausible that in a country full of armed head the balls an armed head the ball attempted to shoot Donald Trump. 

They wouldn't shoot Trump

Exactly, if he was scared for his life, he’d be screaming for his mummy.
