Has a bad shot sealed Trump’s win?

Yesterday’s first look at The Bug’s Xcrements-of-the-Week concentrated on the conspiracy theorists who crawled out of the quagmire to shout “ketchup” and declare the Trump attempted assassination as staged.

Today we look at some of the X comments that ponder the future of the presidential campaign after Trump’s very narrow escape. How Trump started milking it moments after being shot. Has the incident virtually sealed his win in November?

At top and below are a couple of memes that sort of go down that path. We thank Paul Leigh etc, etc, etc and Robyn for their efforts.

The most beautiful ear damage ever. It was HUGE. It really was, people.

Hugh Riminton saw a statue not far down the track… perhaps in dictator Trump’s fourth term of office?

David Milner picked out what he suspects is an election-winning photograph ….

… while probably the most sobering X that plopped into our barrel this past week came from former Senator Rex Patrick.

Mike Carlton commented on those crazies that flooded X after the shooting while Tom Red reckoned he knows the number of suspects.

Mind if The Bug editorialises here for a second? Poor sleepy old Joe Biden is trying his best to appear statesmanlike and pleading with both sides to turn down the vitriol. In response, the Republicans continue to play him off a break, with top party people blaming Biden for the assassination attempt, backed by the media in the US and Australia.

Below is the link to today’s Bug ?Media Glass House on that very issue!

The last time The Bug looked, it’s the Republican side – including Trump himself – who are suggesting – perhaps that’s too wishy-washy a word – that there will be blood in the streets if he doesn’t win! Ans should he lose, it’d be another rigged and illegal election anyway.

BrooklynDad Defiant posted this X video to show how grassroots Republicans are doing their bit to dial down the rhetoric in this campaign by lashing out at an effigy of Joe Biden…..

… while Tommy Robinson and Andrea Junker showed the great divide that exists over the issue, and Trump’s standing in general.

Bugger it! We know we shouldn’t but just for a laugh, let’s run with a few more of the conspiracy theorists that flooded social mediocre almost before the ketchup on Donald’s face had dried.

As with yesterday, there’ll be no doubling up of names to give their few seconds of fame with our reader more clout than they deserve!

And we’ll finish off with a history lesson from Angry Goddess, reminding us that the Aussie mainstream mediocre is not blameless in this sort of violence-escalation malarkey, and we’ll give Mike Carlton a second bite of the cherry as he questions God’s role in the shooting that has probably shot Trump to a much un-deserved return to the Oval Office.
