If he thinks it’s a good thing that people want to kill him, let him go ahead.

And I would imagine that Obama’s reaction to this isn’t much more than, “Lol, that dumbass”

Yeah. Came to say I like that photo better. Should be titled something like the tragedy of inches.

Maybe someday it can be replaced by one with better aim.

Yes, all three comments were quite enjoyable. Did you enjoy my replies? I got more for your cravings.

It was staged. Would have ripped his ear off, not healed a week later.

Con man.

He likes it when people go after him? Personally I would not, but I guess he has his likes. Odd.

If nothing else, I suspect he liked the attention he got.
