Former President Trump wounded in assassination attempt

Donald Trump narrowly missed being killed during an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier today. A sniper was on a rooftop about 150 yards away and opened fire while Trump was speaking. One person was killed and another severely wounded.

I see a major security failure by the Secret Service in this incident.

Thank God he's ok.

From an amateur perspective it’s seems odd that a high vantage point would be left unattended during a visit of a HVT like a former President.

It's also plausible that the 'Swamp' assigned the D team of the Secret Service to protect Trump in the hopes that something like this would happen.

Shooter was 20 years old.
Has absolutely no social media presence.

What 20 year old lacks any social media presence?

These days that is an oddity.

I think he had a social media presence that started to disappear rather quickly after the act.....I know several who found out who he is and that the social media had just been suspended or ghosted etc....he was allegedly a registered Republican but supported Biden and donated to leftist causes.

Had he been a true blue Republican his media presence would have been amplified and echoed on every outlet that even the Republicans think Trump is too dangerous to be POTUS ....this is one of the few times the leftist media were not prepared to spin this in their favor in a strategic way...instead many with media influence are being caught with their pants down and making comments such as they wish the shooter had succeeded and the emperor has been stripped naked yet again.

Yup. These days the window between "conspiracy theory" and spoiler alert is measured in milliseconds.

There is a video circulating on twitter of (supposedly) the shooter flipping out in front of a Trump booth of some sort.
Appears to be completely unhinged.

A young impressionable mentally unstable loner…
Classmates in school said he was a terrible shot and was rejected from the school gun club.

A ladder was in place to get on the roof.
The roof was unobserved long enough for him to get in position.

Not sure whether to put on a tinfoil hat or just chalk it up to chance.
But, the odds of everything lining up perfectly like this do seem strange.

Awfully well executed for someone with so little competence.

For every verifiable/real story we will see twenty faux....just do our due diligence before reacting and reposting.

Not directed at any one post...just saying.....

The odds of those stars aligning without some influence….a million to one at best. On the other hand we have seen LE drop the ball on many occasions in the recent past when it involved mass shooters and Olympic team doctors.
