After seen the photo.of his bloody face I have to say, as a non american, i’m sorry for you guys and for ukrane (and the rest of the world of course, since this time things will be MUCH worst). I hope you can recover but idk if you have mich time. I don’t think this wako can loose anymore
Yeah, as an American all I could think was this clinched the campaign for him.
Who’s bloody face? As a non-American I’m OOTL ig
Trump was shot at at a rally. Grazed his ear, his security escorted him off stage after a minute or so. There’s a photo of him with a bloody ear, surrounded by his bodyguards, fist raised, with the flag in the background. Crazy good photo, arguably historic already.
Yeah, well, mission failed then.
That’s ok. You can always try again yesterday.
Maybe another time traveler disturbed the shooter by slightly pushing him because what would have happened if Trump was shot dead would have been truly apocalyptic. Maybe we just witnessed the n-th time loop without remembering the other ones and this is the first one where the bullet only grazes Trump’s ear instead of blowing his brains out so now life on Earth as we know it can continue, and we can post about it on Lemmy.
Exactly. If it was possible to travel from the future, we would never see a failed attempt since they would try again. Unless it was intended to be a failed attempt. :)
Except the gunman was killed right? So he wouldn’t be able to try again.
was he “killed”, or did the butterfly effect simply wipe him from existence after he accomplished his task?
I smell a groundhog loop
It was one of the guys from X-COM. He had a 98% percent hit chance but still missed somehow.
Yeah well nice job fucking that one up, John Titor.
I just finished this anime and get this reference. I love being in on da me mes
The anime you saw (which I was unfamiliar with) was based on a “real” thing- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor
Tbf, Stein’s Gate grabbed a LOT of real world shannanigans to we’ve into their Science Fantasy plot
Or maybe the cia only has a 50% success rate.
If Red Dwarf is correct, Trump did it.
If not, maybe Vincent Van Gogh?
This was my mostly comical thought. You know how people always say they’d go back and off Hitler? But somehow it never happened so either time travel doesn’t exist, or they just always fail. We’re just getting to see that in real time.
(That said, this fucker definitely changed the future so it’s probably not that.)
Do you realise how many politicians get attacked every day? Do yourself a favour and check it out. It’s a lot, it’s bot not the safest job in the world, many get killed. There had to be an attack by a time traveler at least once
I mean, there have been more than a dozen confirmed assassination attempts on Hitler (even suicide bomber attempts among them) and a few more unconfirmed possible attempts. The future did try their best (or just some brave people from the time itself).
In my view, it would be naive to assume that killing Hitler before he became Chancellor would guarantee the prevention of the atrocities that followed, and it might even pose the risk of something worse happening. Events don’t occur in a vacuum. It’s similar to how dropping nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrific events in themselves, but who’s to say those events aren’t the reason nukes have never been used in warfare since? Preventing those bombings might have saved the people in those cities, but it also might have significantly lowered the bar for using nukes, increasing the chance of a true nuclear holocaust during the Cold War, for example.
So maybe time travel is possible, and someone did try to change history by killing Hitler, but then realized the outcome was even worse. Now, they needed an additional assassin to deal with the first one.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki may have prevented the future that the video game series Fallout predicts, as that never happened in their past.
No it was someone from the past. Trump’s boyfriend

I don’t know what’s going on but I wouldn’t be surprised for it to be a setup from the RNC to help drumph win the presidency.
People need to stop with ridiculous conspiracy theories. You’ve become what you hate
Because he can’t just be shot at for being a terrible person / president? That’s less realistic than a conspiracy?
Do you have any idea how hard it would be to reliability graze someone’s ear with a bullet?
This is completely idiotic. Trump almost got his head blown off, mere millimeters to rhe right and he would have had his head blown off.
Can you imagine such a thing? I know I can.
