'I'm supposed to be dead' says Trump after assassination attempt
bbc.com

Speaking as he prepared to board a flight to the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he is expected to be confirmed as the party's candidate for president, Mr Trump said he now had a "chance to bring the country together".

He said his speech would now be completely different instead of the "humdinger" aimed mostly at current President Joe Biden's policies he had previously planned.

“Had [Saturday's attack] not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches.

“Honestly, it’s going to be a whole different speech now. It is a chance to bring the country together.”

Just an inch to the side and this nightmare would finally have a beginning act of the end of the party of Trump.

Simpsons did make a prediction for September though so my hopes are not dead

End of the party of Trump, maybe. They'd still probably invoke his name at every opportunity.

End of the party of fascism and nihilistic corruption? No way, he's a figurehead there.

Totally agree with you. Fascism has never been defeated by voting and an assassination wouldn't do much more than delay it at best.

What is The Simpsons prophesy this time?

I don't know tbh, but a bunch of Simpsons fans are mentioning there's a prediction for Trump in September and I don't have my life together enough to go and look it up

at first I lol'd at your last line then I felt bad for laughing. sorry man.

Was it the shot or shard of glass? I'm not sure which is correct at this stage .
