I said yesterday, I take issue with the use of "attempt".
A plot? Sure.
But, what was actually attempted?
In fact, it was just a plan or a concept.

It's a plausible guess, but from what little I can gather at this stage, there's nothing firm to determine what the plan was or who the target was.

Or maybe he mistook the golf course for a school. That wouldn't be a problem, would it, Trump? If he'd shot up some school kids, right?

And anyway, shooting people is a fact of life. Get over it. Right, Vance? That's what we get told when innocent children are murdered at school. Get over it already.

The guy was just going to sneak in and play a quick round of golf.

But got confused and grabbed what he normally takes to go shopping.

Then had a little lie-down to try to work out how he could use his AK-47 to play golf.

Fell asleep only to be woken by some guy shooting at him.

A bad day for him, I'd say!

Either that, or he was a highly trained assassin just having a really, really bad day.

Don't worry, DeSantis will get to the bottom of this! /sarcasm

BUT . . . I'm hoping Donald will get too scared by the two incidents to ever show his face in public again.
