President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday, taking a grazing bullet wound in the ear. He responded with bravura, pumping his fist at the crowd and telling them to “fight” as the Secret Service tried to hustle him off. Several progressives on X alleged that the shooting may have been fake. This would not explain the death of Trump supporter Corey Comperatore, who died protecting his family at the scene.

Still, that did not stop baseless speculation.
And yes, the billionaire DNC mega-donor @reidhoffman is and long has been one of the nation’s most deranged and demented scumbags.https://t.co/g4hGWEGXey pic.twitter.com/B8iQ8KjsZx

If you don’t think that shit was staged? Look at how fast they got trump outta there at just the mention of someone in the crowd having a gun in 2016. Then look at this goofy as shit. pic.twitter.com/zqZMHRO5jT

CNN initially did its best to downplay the assassination attempt.
Does CNN just keep bad headlines ready to go, or was this one specially prepared? https://t.co/GnThuUVpBr pic.twitter.com/a1Fl8TISGk

If we learned anything today, I hope it’s realizing the importance of principles I’ve stressed many times on stream before: having a firearm means absolutely nothing if you don’t spend time at the range practicing with it.
