It's a weird American standard where all ex presidents are referred to as president. So the headline isn't wrong.

From my understanding, the title of president is permanent. The powers are (supposed to be) temporary

Well I think we can all be certain there won't be any huge downwind effects from this 😐

If he's uninjured then I have to assume this was staged.

Trump may have a slight injury to his ear.
For a less conspiratorial take, here's a NYTimes archive / live version :

You mean that innocent person. Surely the shooter isn't innocent...

Not staged. Two people dead and two critically injured, and Trump has a nicked ear.
queermunist@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y
Well that clears it up for me! There's just no way Trump would risk himself like that. This was real.

Do the nut bag rights hate him that much already? Pretty safe to assume no Democrat would do that. They don’t attract those types.

As we all know, 0% of Democrats own guns.
Nogami@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
They own them, but don’t use them on people for political reasons, that particular breed of stupid begins in red states.

Ah I see, 0% of Democrats have ever shot a single person.
Nogami@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Oh look. The shooter is a republican after all.
queermunist@lemmy.ml · 0 pts · 2y
Yeah it's pretty funny - he donated to Democrats before too.
Radical centrism strikes again!

Not true at all. I've got several Democrat family member that own lots of guns

Hence the sarcasm.

He was shot by a sniper from a rooftop. Not staged
