Donald Trump has responded on Truth Social to his second near-miss with an assassin’s bullet.
This went up at 12:15 ET:
The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust. Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse! Allowing millions of people, from places unknown, to INVADE and take over our Country, is an unpardonable sin. OUR BORDERS MUST BE CLOSED, AND THE TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE, IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS, DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR COUNTIES OF ORIGIN. WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY, BUT THEY MUST LOVE OUR NATION, AND COME IN LEGALLY AND THROUGH A SYSTEM OF MERIT. THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US AS FOOLS, THEY ARE STEALING OUR JOBS AND OUR WEALTH. WE CANNOT LET THEM LAUGH ANY LONGER. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes – It was certainly an interesting day! Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

Great points all but missing the one that matters the most:
“I am a just a man and I know they are trying to kill my ass. So from now on I plan to be more careful not to expose myself to obvious sitiuations that play into the hands of those who want to do me harm.”
“…to INVADE and take over our Country, is an unpardonable sin.” Hope the Europeans and Canada are paying attention…they appear to have the SAME SINNERS in charge of their demise…Sweden is waking up??? Offering to pay them to LEAVE!!!
Isn’t it interesting for the first time in 60 years, the Democrats aren’t blaming the gun. Or the shooter. “Its Trump’s fault!”
According to the AP this is all the guy has been charged with for now, possessing a firearm despite being a convicted felon and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
I noticed that, too. However, I think it’s common practice in felony cases to lay out a few very serious but straightforward charges that are easily proven with available evidence (e.g., you’re a prohibited felon in possession of firearms, and also the serial number has been illegally destroyed). This is sufficient for a judge to hold the suspect without bond. Then the more elaborate charges can be carefully developed and added. The prosecutor would normally inform the judge that additional capital felony charges are expected, so please hold him. A red-state judge would be very unlikely to grant bond on the initial felony gun charges, especially when more serious charges are expected soon.
