Yeah, it's probably "not appropriate" (Joe Biden's words on Saturday's rally shooting in Pennsylvania) to be compiling meme reactions to said assassination attempt, but in an age where American politics is as entertaining as TV, how could we not? Even Elon Musk wants to weigh in (of course he does).
Trump simply draws attention like a magnet. It's a force so undeniable even Biden couldn't resist calling his Vice President Kamala Harris by his opponent's name—on top of another recent glitch where he referred to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as President Putin at the NATO Summit.
While a last-minute head tilt by former President Trump left him with only an upper right ear wound instead of a fatal shot to the back of his head, casualties were observed by a spectator who lost his life, and two others who were critically injured.
Sources are saying that Trump was repeatedly shouting the word "fight" when he re-emerged with a bloody ear and raised fist, but that sure would've fooled us. If anything, he looked like he was swearing, in Old Man Yells at Cloud style.
Conspiracy theories are popping off (pun intended); from the Democratic party being the perpetrators to a possible inside job. Mostly because the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was a registered Republican. Crooks allegedly operated on his own and was gunned down by the Secret Service on-site.
