Was Lincoln the victim of "an incident"? How about JFK? What's with this inability to plain speak in the media?

People are dead, Trump was shot at a rally.

Say it clearly, "an assassination attempt".

I mean what in the actual F are these people smoking?

This is the progressives trying desperately to gaslight, and deflect away that one of their antifa assholes tried to murder Trump. Expect more lies.

Look at NBC News, says he was shot in the ear. Why not say he was shot at? That it was an assassination attempt? Or, was the radical Left so kind that they only wanted to shoot him in the ear?

What they mean to convey by this characterization "it's just an ear, no big deal".

He was nearly shot in the head and killed, that's the headline.

USA Today called it an “apparent assassination attempt”. Why only “apparent”?

Are there other plausible theories about the nature of this event? Maybe the shooter was really after someone standing behind Trump and Trump just happened to be in the way? Maybe the shooter was actually aiming for Trump’s ear and never intended to inflict serious harm? Maybe the shooter was out hunting and mistook Trump’s hair for a pheasant or a squirrel? Maybe the shooter was just kidding around?

It's as if the MSM is so afraid of getting something slightly wrong, that they won't come out and say what we all saw for ourselves.

Yes, Trump said specifically that he was "shot with a bullet ".

That's legalese. They don't want to be accused.. The Republicans have blamed media for everything Trump has said and done for the past 8 years.

Yeah, it could have just been a kid playing with a gun and a bullet just happened to nick Trump's ear. I mean, come on.
