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
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 :
When the pops began at 6:13 p.m., Mr. Trump appeared to grab his right ear, which appeared to be bleeding as he left the stage.
Here's the cspan footage where you can see it for yourself: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5123735/shots-fired-trump-rally
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.
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.
Oh look. The shooter is a republican after all.
Yeah it's pretty funny - he donated to Democrats before too.
Radical centrism strikes again!
Well I think we can all be certain there won't be any huge downwind effects from this 😐
