What's sus here

The secret service didn’t secure a roof that was a 9-iron away with a clear shot? Really?
The two cuts on Trumps cheek with minimal red look awfully cinematic. What are the odds. This is the second biggest point imo
Apparently someone in the crowd died. But you can see the crowd in the video. They cheer after Trump raises his fist. Nobody looks to the right, no group of people form a circle around a victim
The biggest point: What would the assassin gain? If he fails, Trump gets to rightfully play victim and get sympathy votes. If he succeeds, Don Jr could win this election with sympathy votes in a landslide. The same point would only hold to a lower degree for an assassination attempt on Biden. The same point wouldn't hold on the assassination attempt on JFK since JFK had a very unique stance on Cuba that any replacement from his own party didn't share.
Trump is currently leading in the polls.

The press: All the pro Trump headlines were talking about how old Biden is. No pro major Trump headline was actually talking positively about Trump himself. That changes now

Conclusion

There isn't no concrete evidence for it being fake yet. Just saying it would fit neatly together

What about the would-be assassin on the roof who got shot in the head by USSS? Ketchup too?

Get a grip, man.

Have you only read the headline and looked at the first pic?

If you read the bullet points and the conclusion you'll see that this post is more nuanced than that

You're sounding the trumpets for nothing more than a radical that tried to assassinate someone off his personal list of "enemies", botched his shot, and died.

There isn't always some hidden cabal behind a happening, but conspiracy-fans don't wanna hear that.

Yep. The only point that requires more explanation, afaic, is why that rooftop wasn't secured. Was that incompetence or part of a plot?

Btw, those are blood trickles on his cheek. It's exactly what would happen to someone who was shot in the ear and then laid face down on the ground.

I agree, SS not securing the roof is sus.

But your "biggest point" assumes the would-be assassin had two brain cells to rub together to figure out the political ramifications of his actions.

More likely he was just a brainwashed leftard who "figured out" "gEe, I hAvE hOmE tUrF aDvAnTaGe, I wIlL oUtSmArT tHeM aLl WiTh My GrAnDpA's WaBbIt RiFlE".

Thuth be told, he got awfully close.

The assassin was obvious hoping to succeed and kill Trump. In that circumstance he would have ensured Trump didn't get elected.

Non-trivial chance that another assassin succeeds before the election...

I agree, especially since Trump will almost certainly continue doing events.

The risk/reward is way to high to fake this. If the ruse was discovered he risks losing everything, just to gain higher polling numbers than he already has? That doesn't make any sense. He's already the front runner against the worst candidate in history.

What is the risk tho?

I'd argue the risk is literally zero.

If someone "exposes" it, he'll just say they are lying to get attention. Or that the exposing was a ploy by democrats.

Seems unlikely. There's a photo of the bullet wizzing past Trump's head. And it must be live ammunition since a bystander died from it. You don't take that kind of a risk just for a photo opp

The same thing that happens in every other false flag. The civilian casualties are how you sell it.

It's a Sony a9iii. It can shoot 120frame per second. Chances are the sound triggered the photo burst.

You think AP reporters have a sound-trigger on literally all the time? I have a hard time imagining it. I never have it on on my hobby photography

The bullet should also be already gone when the sound arrives. It's the first bullet on the photo

269 sats \ 0 replies \ @petertodd 14 Jul

Dude, the amount of photos reporters take is so much it's not surprising they got a photo of the bullet out of sheer luck.

Even in the film days a typical photographer covering an event would take hundreds of photos. With digital you can practically shoot full frame video constantly at low cost.

It could just be that having so many rallies made them a complacent. When the shots were fired the response was quick. The shooter would have known that it was a suicide mission. Could Trump act that well?

The scratches might be from when the SS piled on top of him.

Anyway, I'd hold back for now on these kind of theories.

thank you for doing some brainstorming on this, i likewise strongly considered the possibility of a staged assassination attempt.

hollywood 2.0 is quite good nowadays, yet even they suck and make mistakes/bloopers when asked to perform in real life.

another surprising observation is that people do not really care about the event, otherwise at my last night's dinner with the conservative boomers there would have been no discussions other than the supposed shooting.

i feel pretty bad for the public. they have been duped so many times, so hard, and for so long that to tell apart what is a lie and what is truth, let alone explain how, is now a gargantuan task. no one uses their brain anymore, it's problem-reaction-solutiom all the way.

focus on what u need to do in ur immediate life, get things done, prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

I think it is important that this whole thing is questioned. That being said, I don't think this was faked. I think there are very evil people at play behind this (more than just the shooter), and I think this is likely a coup

We have already seen in the past how they liquidated a president in the land of wonders and freedoms, and we know perfectly well that they are the promoters of all wars, coups d'état and any failed state with valuable resources from which they can get something. So it is not surprising that something like this could happen, plus the democrats-socialists are scared and know that J. Biden cannot compete against D. Trump, it is not at all unreasonable to think that they want to remain in power by eliminating the competition. something like what was experienced in Ecuador recently when they assassinated the presidential candidate of the Right who sought to fight against the Narcos and gangs in the country.

The assassination attempt looked real to me. The only question I have is were the secret service incompetent or were they deliberately stood down so the shooter could get off a few shots?

12 sats \ 2 replies \ @Coinsreporter 14 Jul

Those were real blood marks on his cheeks and there is every chance that the gunshot just rubbed his ear. So, why make such claims that it was/might be a conspiracy! He's already leading and by every chance he's also going to be the next POTUS. He can't just plan an assassination of him and would not have directed that a bullet pass so close to him!

No, they weren't scratches. His ear might have got that wound while falling down on the stage.. but I insist they were real. I've watched the clips so many times. Also zooming in and out.

Why did the bullet miss?

Because:

Nobody knows where to shoot him; he's clearly got no heart, his head obviously has no brain in it (and even if its in his arse its too fat to get a bullet through), and his dick (like his baby hands) is obviously too small to hit.
