This makes me more suspicious that the whole fucking thing was staged

I doubt it as many people hate Trump and want him to die. He definitely leaned into the whole victim thing but I'm sure the attempt was real.

Like the fact that SS knew about the shooter way before he even set up his rifle? Or the lack of investigation into the guy? I mean they went on and on and on about hunters laptop but an actual attempt on Trump's life? Never mentioned before this.

"lack of investigation" is fairly normal when the person is dead. Anyways, it's really, really, really obvious the Secret Service decided to let the kid take his shot before they killed him.

If it were staged, why would they pick a Republican to be the fall guy, instead of a woke Marxist?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 12 hours ago

I mean, the Marxist wouldn't try to miss.

Republicans are easy to trick and are way more violent.
