Trump campaign telling people in Denver someone tried to murder him in Reno

Trump just told his crowd in Denver that someone just tried to murder him in Reno, he's sticking with the script that was written even though everyone knows there was never anyone there with a gun.

That pretty much put to rest any doubt that this wasn't scripted reality TV.

Of course the man exaggerates everything. So what?

Please explain the purpose. In what meaningful way does this earn votes.

he knows he won't be called out on any of it. It's like he's begging for the media to actually report on him and finally give him an out. Even Melania was crying out for help with her incredibly ironic, partially plagiarized speech the other day. But the media won't call them out or put an end to the madness. It's all fun and games for them.

Wednesday can't come soon enough. I never want to hear from Kelly Ann CONway, Katrina Pearson, Corey Lewandowski, Omarosa, Krispy, Ghouliani, the entire trump family, or any of the lying fucks who supported him EVER again!

If it had or HRC's or any other candidate, that person would be locked up for many years if not for life.

Ask Arthur Bremer. Ask John Hinkley. Ask Sirhan Sirhan.

Aparently, guy reached behind his back (maybe to pull his pants up?), and someone yelled "gun!". There was no gun, it was just a guy with his Trump sign. Hard to say if it was a stupid stunt, or the more mundane sort of stupid that goes on at his rallies. Either way, Trump is going to tell the same lie, so I guess it doesn't matter so much. I hope it wasn't a stunt, and the guy that was tackled recinds his support now that Trump called him an atempted murderer :-P

the right would be having a field day, instead it's trump so they want to believe it and are claiming him to be a martyr standing up for what is right. they are too dumb for words.
