Donald Trump's Chances of Winning Election Soar After Shooting

Donald Trump is significantly more likely to win the 2024 presidential election after an apparent attempt to assassinate him on Saturday left him injured, according to a leading bookmaker.

A gunman opened fire on a Trump rally near Butler, in Pennsylvania, on Saturday, killing one attendee and leaving two others seriously wounded, according to a Secret Service spokesperson.

Broadcast footage from the event showed Trump was struck on his right ear, leaving it bleeding, before he was surrounded by Secret Service agents and led from the stage after defiantly raising his hand in a clenched fist. The suspected attacker, who the FBI identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot and killed by return fire.

On Saturday, prior to the assassination attempt, Trump's odds of winning the 2024 presidential election were 8/15 (65.2 percent) according to William Hill, a U.K. based betting company. However, after the shooting, this was slashed to a 4/11 (73.3 percent) chance of Trump achieving victory. — Newsweek

Our Take: There are only two ways to look at the assassination attempt against Trump:

Either the event was "staged"—somehow controlled by white hats—or...

... it was real, and God intervened to protect Donald Trump.

I saw a meme yesterday that was made in jest, that made me simultaneously happy and sad.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was perhaps President Trump's original geopolitical sidekick. He was assassinated by a gunman on July 8, 2022, almost two years to the day before the attempt on Trump's life this past weekend. Abe was the world leader who always had Trump's back, and the two appeared to have a genuine friendship that transcended their roles as the leaders of their respective countries. So the idea of Abe's spirit somehow saving Trump's life made me smile, while the memory of his murder made me sad.

(Love these guys. Bad boys for life.)

Who could forget these epic memetic moments from the G7 Summit on June 9, 2018, when Trump, Abe, and the bros stared down Angela Merkel (Germany), Theresa May (Britain), and Emmanuel Macron (France), as Trump demanded that Europe pay their fair share into NATO—in which they were very delinquent—or he would withdraw the United States from the organization.

But there was more context to this photo than just the NATO payments. According to Politico, Trump was demanding that the G7 allow Russia to rejoin the organization, after it was ousted in 2014, following its lawful annexation of Crimea.

President Trump is always looking out for the bros.

Now he is calling for unity, and the time feels right to revisit my Horseshoe Theory article from last summer, and perhaps write a follow-up.

There are deeper, darker implications of the assassination attempt being real— that it was likely an inside job—but we will examine those developments another day. For now, let us thank God that Donald Trump is alive, and recognize the very real impact this event is having on the world.

According to geopolitical journalist Pepe Escobar, the assassination attempt has made Trump a viral sensation on Chinese social media.

Over there, Trump is known as Comrade Jianguo (建国同志) which means "Comrade Build-Country." Escobar says that the nickname has been in effect for years. Another common saying is Chuān Jiànguó (川建国) which literally means “Build the Country Trump,” but usually translates to "Making China Great Again," because the Chinese people see everything that Donald Trump does as ultimately benefitting the Chinese working class. (The background text in the image above reads, "Workers of the world, unite!")

Escobar says that everybody on Chinese social media is wishing Comrade Jianguo a speedy recovery, and praying for his safety. The memetic nature of Trump's return to power is nothing short of legendary.

Much like the truth, President Trump has become a force of nature, and Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming. Nothing. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

Another Take: In the immediate aftermath of the attempt, I said the following:

Somewhat lost in the engineered noise here is the welcome fact that the Overton Window has shifted so far that virtually nobody is questioning the fact that Trump was targeted due to the ideological, political and existential threat he poses to the System.

Except, of course, for the MSM charlatans who tried to discredit the significance of the event as it was happening.

The story in the lead-up to this attempt has been too linear to imply anything other than coordination and control, from the Trump Mug shot to the ongoing Witch Hunt to Convictions galore ... capped off by the very public, very obvious Deep State Panic Pattern in the wake of the Biden Debate and NATO address disasters.

The establishment is caught in a series of lose-lose propositions and narrative implications. Either they radicalized their base, or they're complicit in a direct cover-up.

Questions surrounding a cascade of security "failures" are answers to those paying attention.

And EVERYONE is paying attention.

One of the oldest truisms in the movement is the refrain that they're not after him, they're after you ... he's just in the way.

After this inflection point, that's been inverted.

The machine blinked, because the machine is afraid.

They're don't fear Trump. They fear you. — Burning Bright
