    The kid who got the closest to assassinating Trump that we know of. Although, the details are extremely dubious, with some going as far as to say the assassination attempt was staged.

        Do you think Trump is brave enough to sit there with a good chance of being hit? No, literally nothing is worth him feeling personal risk. That’s why it’s a dumb conspiracy theory.

          Do you think Trump’s bodyguards would have left him uncovered while they pretty much posed for a dramatic Renaissance-core photo after he was “shot” 🙄? Look at that photo, they left him wide open for another shot while his ear is supposedly bleeding. Because they knew from rehearsal that the only second shot would be coming from the camera.

          I don’t think he’s “brave” enough, but I do think he is STUPID enough. You are trying to apply normal logic to virtuosically incompetent MAGAs. They never looked at it like they were putting Trump’s life in danger, they were going to rally the entire nation behind Trump, after he was almost assassinated, and ride that to a wildly popular win on the election.

          Except the overwhelming response was irritation that we didn’t get to see his head explode on national TV. Then it became immediately apparent that it was all a clumsy hoax that resulted in a murder, and they quickly buried it.

          Except when Trump tried to revive the sympathy vote by screaming at the debate about how he “got shot in the head!” What a fucking pathetic drama queen.

          Except there wasn’t a bullet. Of course he wouldn’t, he didn’t. Literally everything he says and does is a lie in some way.

            Are we just ignoring the Cory Comperatore guy who was shot and died during the assassination attempt?

                You said there wasn’t a bullet, I talked about the guy that got shot and died via a bullet.

                That’s all my point was about.

                Trump is a narcissistic, rapist, pedophile, piece of shit, don’t think I’m defending him in anyway.

                  I probably wasn’t clear enough, my fault. There was a bullet in the area yes, I didn’t mean it to sound otherwise. What I meant was it wasn’t actually anywhere near the supposed target at any point, it hit exactly where and who was intended without coming even close to Trump.

                  There’s also a photo that supposedly shows the bullet captured in flight by Trump’s head, except for that to be real it would have to be going at least twice the speed a real bullet would have been. We know the camera settings and we know how fast a bullet goes over a given distance and the math does not add up.
