I used to think Brock Lesnar was the baddest dude that I'd ever met. After yesterday, I'm pretty sure it's Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/Do2YDHr38Y

Just to address this since EVERYONE is asking–no, I can't relate my real feelings on this or I would be speaking to a variety of federal agencies. Use your imagination, and then double that, and you've got it. https://t.co/wWNL9PmCao

Opinions about this don’t matter. The reality is that the election’s just a formality now.
@Luke
Like someone told me, more likely than not, this won’t be much of a needle-mover. Those who supported him will continue doing so, & even with greater passion now. Those who didn’t like him, or didn’t care about him, they will continue doing so.
So, saying that his election is just a formality now is a rather ignorant thing to say.
Plus, after hearing people comparing Trump to Reagan, there are those who say that Reagan’s assassination attempt actually bore no real impact on his re-election.
@WrestleFan
Get back to me with the ignorance after the election.
So, was he shot or shot AT and got cut from teleprompter glass as I’ve read? Best get that straight before Trump tell HIS version on how ‘It was the greatest, biggest bullet ever that I deflected with my ear’.
Also, I’m not sure why anyone who wasn’t gonna vote for him before is gonna vote for him now. I mean, is pity vote a thing?
Jim Cornete really is a horrible person
@art123guy
Does it matter if it was a piece of glass that hit his ear or a bullet? The man was shot at. Someone tried to kill him.
@Luke
Ignorance is thinking that something like this happening will automatically give him a clear path to the White House.
As long as you clear out all the biased voices & just pay attention to recorded history itself, you’ll be surprised what it’ll teach you.
The Woke mob are desperate to destroy our great country, but their desperation led them to their doom.
@art123guy
Not pity. Manipulation. Like the Big Red Dickhead is doing above.
@Joseph
I guess it matters if you wanna believe in facts or alternative facts. But at the end of the day, yes, someone tried to kill him and regardless what anyone thinks of Trump, it’s wrong and something that shouldn’t happen.
A lot of questions about the “assassination attempt”. The shooter was kicked out of his high school rifle club because he was a terrible shot, yet he manages to get off that shot? How does Secret Service miss someone setting up camp on a nearby building? Why does Secret Service to allow Trump to pop his head up?
@WrestleFan
Again, get back to me after the election.
@Disgruntled Jobber
And every one of them is irrelevant. The only thing that counts is what the people will believe.
@art123guy
There’s a picture from NYT photographer Doug Mills that shows a bullet speeding Trump’s head.
@Disgruntled Jobber
Was that shot a difficult shot to make? to a skilled marksman the shot might be pretty easy. For someone that isn’t skilled, the shot might be more difficult to make.
I read that the Secret Service didn’t even sweep the roof and that local law enforcement was supposed to be posted there. I saw some online saying they were in on it but personally I think they just didn’t do their job properly.
@Luke
And, what if Trump doesn’t secure a win in the election? Then what?
As it turns out, there’s already enough people that are questioning what happened that day.
So, you want to continue talking to me about ignorance?
@WrestleFan
You’re the one talking about ignorance, not me, but since you keep harping, here you go:
Question what you want, the truth doesn’t matter. If it did, every democratic government in the world would have been overthrown by now. It’s all about perception. Whether this was a shoot or a work (I meant to do this…), they’re gonna turn him into a martyr/superhero hybrid (already started, see Big Red Dickhead above). The masses love both. And the masses are easy to manipulate.
Now, can you please leave me alone about this until the election is over? There’s nothing of relevance you can contribute here at this point in time.
Glenn Jacobs is all class, and always has been. You never had anyone in the industry talk bad about him, or disparage his intelligence, until his political career. It says a lot about the poor character of his critics.
Jim Cornette is suffering from extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome. I hope he seeks help for that. Good wrestling mind, yet deficient in thought when it comes to politics.
@DB
You sound like the Trump supporters who claim that he was never accused of racism until he ran for the Presidency in 2016. Only problem is, that’s not true; back when he & his dad were involved in public housing in the 1970s, they were sued by the Federal Government on charges of engaging in racism towards African-American families. The fact that Trump’s supporters intentionally gloss over that fact of Trump’s history says a lot about the ignorance of his supporters.
And, sounds like you’re suffering from extreme Biden Derangement Syndrome. I hope you seek help for that.
Very creative mind, yet deficient in thought when it comes to truth & facts.
@Joseph
The shooter was described as having “Maggie’s Drawers”, a term that means he wasn’t any good. He struggled to hit targets that were 15 feet away. He was kicked out of his school’s rifle club because his lack of accuracy was a danger to every.
You ask what makes that shot difficult: You have a moving target, you have the wind and the humidity, which also plays a role. A shot like that is not as easy as TV and films make it appear.
@DB:
A Sean Waltman put it, Glenn kept a lot of his political views hidden from the rest of the locker room. Sean’s tweeted in the past how disappointed and disgusted he is with Glenn’s rhetoric.
@Disgruntled Jobber
May I ask where you saw that he was kicked out of his school’s rifle club for lack of accuracy and being a danger? I ask because according to BBC and a few of his former classmates, he tried out, but never made the team. But the school district said there is no record of him even trying out for the team and he never appeared on the roster.
Moving target? Trump was on a stage in front of a podium. Wasn’t really a moving target. I’m not saying the shot was easy. But I don’t think it’s as difficult as that and that if the kid knew what he was doing, like an actual sniper, the outcome would have been much different.
So the 123 kid said that Jacobs was professional in keeping politics out of the locker room and he’s “disappointed and disgusted” with the ideals of freedom. Duly noted. Once again, it says a lot about the poor character of Glenn Jacobs critics.
Once again, we have a perfect example of Trump Derangement Syndrome in the comment section. Some people are well beyond psycriatric treatment. How unfortunate for them.
@DB
Well, depending on how long some of Jacobs’s critics have known him for (such as those who have followed his career from when he first started in the business), they likely feel it’s been much to his advantage to keep politics out of the locker room, unless it’s done as part of a storyline (for example: The Real Americans, Sgt. Slaughter as an Iraqi sympathizer, etc.). So, to be so quick to dismiss the criticism of Jacobs simply because his beliefs align with your own says a lot about the ignorance of attacking his critics.
And, once again, we have a perfect example of Biden Derangement Syndrome in the comment section. Some people are well beyond psychiatric treatment. How unfortunate for them.

According to the sources, the timeline presented in the briefing was as follows:
5:10 p.m. Crooks was first identified as a person of interest
5:30 p.m. Crooks was spotted with a rangefinder
5:52 p.m. Crooks was spotted on the roof by Secret Service
6:02 p.m. Trump takes the stage
6:12 p.m. Crooks fires first shots
He also searched images of both Trump and Biden and dates of Trump’s appearances as well as Democratic National Convention. The F.B.I. said that even though he was a registered Republican, he had not strong political views one way or the other.
@DB
Yeah, from what I remember, the specific “ideal of freedom” he was disappointed and disgusted with was Jacobs’ support for turning women into incubators. The audacity! That Waltman truly is a piece of human crap…
@Joseph
Not sure where the BBC is getting it’s story, but they had an interview with with students and coaches that said he would rush his shots and wouldn’t wait for a clear range before shooting.
Not sure if you’ve handled guns much, but it wasn’t an easy shot, especially taking into consideration wind, climate and range, all of which are factors.
@DB
Had to laugh at the TDS comment. Just goes to show you can’t handle a line of thinking different than your own. Anyone that disagrees or takes umbrage with Trump by default have TDS.
And the comment Waltman didn’t like was Jacobs’ view on abortion. That if a 12 year old gets raped or is a victim of incest, they should be forced to carry to term. Or face criminal charges as an adult. Not sure I’d classify that as “freedom”.
