It’s funny that the assassination attempt is weirdly not much of a story. It’s all surface level and obvious. A 20 year old kid shot at Trump and missed by a hair.

It’s funny that the assassination attempt is weirdly not much of a story. It’s all surface level and obvious. A 20 year old kid shot at Trump and missed by a hair. We don’t know why he did it and will probably never know. He seized the moment for a great photo op. It will be good for him in the election. The end. The failure of the secret service isn’t the striking part of the story but it’s the only part that would really benefit from deeper investigation. The rest is all readily apparent. My Twitter feed has already moved on to talking about JD Vance.
I’m actually not surprised they want to downplay the story, it doesn’t serve their agenda. By September/October there will be some big anti Trump story that the media will be in lockstep on and this will be completely disregarded.
I don’t think the media is intentionally downplaying the story out of anti-Trump bias. It was all over the front pages. My point is more that, by its nature, the story just doesn’t give the chattering classes much to chew on.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. I think they are deeply entrenched against anything remotely Trumpian, I think they see it as a threat to their power and legitimacy.
It was NOT on the front page of the Sunday times, traditional news sources only started picking up the story because they had to; the story is too important to too many people and it's just really hard to spin the narrative in a way that doesn't make Trump look good and/or the Secret Service look bad.
The shooter being dead is a huge factor in the story dying along with him. There will never be an interrogation/interview and he didnt leave a manifesto.
