No, that's called a sh!te gif.
It is funny that you've used one featuring Orlando Magic though. They're useless.

'President Joe Biden said last Monday that he continues to support a ban on assault weapons that has been blocked by Republicans, even as the National Rifle Association and pro-gun conservatives doubled down on claims that banning AR-15s would be an attack on the second amendment of the US constitution.'
'“The majority of the American people think having assault weapons is bizarre, it’s a crazy idea, so we’re against that,” Biden said last Tuesday. “I want to remind you, the last time we passed an assault weapons ban … mass shootings went down … I can’t do anything except plead with the Congress to act reasonably.” According to polls, more than 60% of Americans support the banning of semi-automatic weapons.'
Crazies times. The law banning them was a sunset law which lapsed under President Bush.

Pretty much.
It's kinda like Uwe Boll's only good film, Rampage, being played out in front of us.

An interesting old read on the 'cunning' 'fox'.

'He learned his art from a master: his mentor, Roy Cohn, who was the brains behind Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s attempt to control our government through Communist witch hunts in the 1950s. Conspiracy theorists are a dime a dozen, while those with delusions are more rare.'
'My guess is that Trump will eventually be removed from power, but via the appropriate investigative and political process, not a psychiatric evaluation.
I believe that Trump is a mirror of the American soul, a surface symptom of our deeper societal disease. He may not be crazy, but we certainly were for electing him. We mustn’t waste this Trumpian dark age. If we don’t learn from it, we will keep making the same mistakes.'
Same mistakes then?

Well, they will not be able to question him, without a Medium 😊
Supposedly, they identified him via DNA. Not familiar with USA rules on DNA samples, does this mean he had prior conviction(s).

The shooting wasn;t planned - the bullet was damn close to killing him
Unless someone want to come up with a theory that he wasn;t hit with a bullet but ducked at the first shot and someone put the blood over his ear
which is pretty crazy
but then this is the USA
still - I think it was a real shot and a real attempt to kill him
and the best possible boost for trump's campaign at a time when Biden is struggling

4300 gun US related deaths in 2023. That's freedom.
Flesh wound to one old man.
That's the end of the world.

That picture will be used to emphasise his strength and Biden’s frailty.
If there ever was any doubt about this election it has gone now.
Demonising Trump has led to his support but that is US politics…the other side has not just got to be wrong but seen to be a danger to the country.
