There were too many convenient fucks ups in a row.

As for Markets I can expect gold to shoot up to all time high and pull back, equity markets to dip then start rallying because trumps victory is imminent now, unless earnings come out terrible, which I predict they will

Do you have any sources that show that he was formerly registered as a democrat and his intention in registering as a republican was to vote against trump in the primary? Sources are all saying that he was a registered republican who even espoused right leaning rhetoric in university conflicting with his democratic/libertarian household. Donations do not make you a part of a party. By that logic Trump is democrat because he donated to the democratic party numerous times. Party affiliation is best ascertained by voter registration logs and ideologies.

My point was not to say that Republicans are the dangerous ones and the Democrats are saints. The motives for assassinations or attempts are more nuanced than political affiliation to the degree that you will find perpetrators of assassination/attempts on both sides of the political divide.

If you are thinking about the "big picture", take an account of US history and you will find that republicans have just as many assassination attempts on government officials as democrats do. Often times they are intraparty assassination attempt(republican on republican/democrat on democrat) lol. I await your sources. Wish you green pips.

Sounds like you might not be aware of the political process in this country. A quick 5 minute read would help you quite a bit to avoid throwing "shameful!" comments out there with lack of understanding.

That said, here's a 30 second overview (in my own, very general terms).

Hundreds (or even thousands) of people run for president. They are vetted/weeded out over a period of years.

While I won't comment on the "quality" of those who are ultimately chosen, America has just as many initial candidate options as most other countries brag about (various options from a host of political affiliations, etc). The DIFFERENCE here is that those unpopular options are filtered out before the final selection....similar to sports tournaments.

There are campaigns where people get to voice popular opinion without even voting. Then those who make it past that stage are able to receive votes in a primary election. Then, there is a nomination phase (where delegates have to actually confirm the candidate for nomination sometimes from multiple options). The previous steps are for all parties (while, yes, there are basically 2 "big" parties). Then there is a general election wherein the two top candidates (sometimes more) vie for votes. As with most countries, the incumbent leader is typically the defacto option for their party....but, as we see in every election here in the States, there are always a handful of people who start running against the incumbent before dropping out to support them. Usually people run against their party's incumbent to give voice to a particular issue, etc....then bow out because there was not shot of winning anyway. What remains is/are the 'most likely to get votes' from each major political party. Since people in this country seem to be content with 2 main parties, that's what we get. If a large enough section of the population desired it, there'd be a serious green party or libertarian party candidate (even a serious independent contender from time to time). THAT is the defining characteristic of the democratic process. The VOTERS are (presumably) those who decide the outcome.

FWIW, every ballot I have ever cast has had no fewer than 4 options for president (as well as the option to "write in" any name I wish to).

Is it perfect? Far from it....but at least the ultimately elected official has a significant portion of the voting population voting for them. The alternative (having a general election with hundreds of names) and the highest number of votes wins would lead to chaos. Can you imagine a country like the US run by someone who "won" the election with 9.7% of the popular vote?

Yes, but he was far left and donated to Joe Biden after Election. The reason why he was written into republican party was to vote against trump (you can do that when you write yourself into the same party). That is only possible in few states.

...Markets generally like gridlocked govt, because nothing getting done = status quo = no surprises. I think this near death experience can only help Trump, and he didn't need much help, as things were shaping up for a dreadful Biden campaign. So, markets will be weighing the radical ideas a solid Rep govt with DJT at the helm will bring. His ideas on tariffs widely understood to be inflationary. Ideas about deporting 10,000,000+ illegal aliens will be drastically recessionary. Replacing JPow with a Trump yesman will be chaotic. I don't think markets will be happy, but I could be wrong.

I expect a quick risk-off kneejerk reaction to start the week, but it might not last long. It'll take time for the notes above to play out.

A witness from bbc news said he informed the security operatives about Matthew crook being up there about to carry out the shooting.
However,if such statement is true,then within Donald Trump's circle there's a mole.i thought Americans politics has gone passed the stage of dirty politics.

Standard USMC marksman annual training is just 3 days, includes, among other things, shooting at targets up to 500 yds away from a prone position. If Crooks gave himself that much training, (probably he did more), then that was a doable kill shot, as it would be for the majority of grunts. The ear shot would likely have been in the middle of Trump's skull had he not turned to the right when Crooks was squeezing off the first round.

Typically, I'd point out that polls this early in the election cycle are no where near accurate. It is similar to a market analyst giving a year-end value for the S&P. Or, you know, a weatherman predicting ~~next week's~~ tomorrow's weather (I need that job....they are never "wrong"!!!)

In this case, polls could turn out to be accurate, but there is a LOT of campaigning/money to be spent between now and November.

Yeah, since this is a investing forum, getting back to the economic impact (and off the politics for a minute): if you think about the big market events so far this year, I wouldn't expect much to happen because of this. There is just too much to unpack regarding how things 4 months (election) and then 7 months (inauguration) shake out.

Any movement is either a continuation of last week, or a quick shake up while the algos jiggle around.

I could be COMPLETELY wrong here, but: Concerns of the US getting draw into a war in the middle east due to prior terrorist attacks should be more impactful to the market, at least in the near term, than anticipations about what might happen should current polling hold. If Israel/Hamas didn't cause massive selloff, do we expect this to do so?

Very little precedent though, so we'll see what happens. What I CAN say is that, as VanCarbon (I believe it was him) previously stated: If this occurred during market hours, the impact would have been MUCH greater in the minutes/hours nearest the event.

Good luck trading this week everyone!

Ben Macer was along a fence line when he saw “the guy move from roof to roof. (I) told an officer (the alleged shooter) was on the roof,” KDKA reported. “When I turned around to go back to where I was, it was when the gunshots started, and then it was just chaos, and we all came running away, and that was that.This statement is from CNN news and to confirm my previous claim that among the security agencies there re some group of bad guys he want the ex-president to be assinnated.
