Former President Donald Trump seemed entirely unbothered by the second alleged assassination attempt on his life as he kicked off a town hall on Tuesday night in Flint, Michigan.

Trump took the stage alongside Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and immediately launched into his signature stream of speech. The GOP presidential nominee jumped from car makers to COVID-19–which he called the “China virus”–to his “very nice” call with Vice President Kamala Harris. But first, he seemed to address the presumed assassination attempt at his golf course in Florida.

“It’s a dangerous business being president,” said Trump, addressing the audience.“It’s a little bit dangerous.” He then went on to brush off the number of assassination attempts against him with a boast.

“That’s OK,” he said about the presidency being “dangerous business.” He added, “Only consequential presidents get shot at.”

That is all

[Walleye]

6. I think the guy with the gun was outside the fence next to a public highway

[malaise]

8. Just like the one in Obama's neighborhood

But they never called that an assassination attempt and that J6 MAGAt went looking for Obama.

[Walleye]

12. That's because Democrats don't exploit political violence for their benefit

We wouldn’t have heard about this one if Trump hadn’t decided to make a big deal of it. Also, the attack on Paul Pelosi was an assassination attempt.

[malaise]

13. True re Democrats but M$Greedia is still running with this

one although a few of them couch it with ‘apparent’

[John Shaft]

3. Trump is fake

it all sounds scripted.

I don't believe ANYTHING he says, does, or is involved with. He's a little too blasé about the assassination attempts by his "disgruntled supporters."

He's a pathological liar and a psychopath, why would I do ANYTHING to lend him ANY legitimacy whatsoever?

Fuck that motherfucker.

[Walleye]

15. Yes, he is a pure yellow coward. If this was real, he would be more scared.

The default position on Trump should be that everything he says is a lie. He never deserves the benefit of the doubt

4. He loves the attention from almost getting killed.

A true narcissist.

[malaise]

9. It is why I remain

Doubting malaise

[GoCubsGo]

7. "Consequential"...

Yeah, you're facing the consequences of your own stupidity. When you permit mentally ill people to own guns, and your party refuses to renew the assault weapons ban, it eventually gets used against you, dumbfuck. Especially if you've spent a lifetime screwing over people.

[EYESORE 9001]

10. Gerald Ford had two attempts on his life

Pardoning Nixon aside, I consider him fairly inconsequential.

[tetedur]

11. Garfield didn't have time to be very consequential as President.

[Maeve]

14. That was my first thought!

[Midnight Writer]

16. All Presidents are consequential. We are still digging out from under Trump's Administration.

A bad leader may very well be more consequential than a good leader.

[LauraInLA]

17. Gerald Ford???

[Solly Mack]

18. Oh, he's consequential all right.

All of them bad.

[Johonny]

19. Odds he can name the presidents shot in office

Im going with 0 % chance he can do it.

PS he isnt president
