    its because it was staged asf, as some of the reddit sub discussed, the failure of the iran war and the epstein files really has trump grasping at straws.

    plus karoline leavitt low-key said something about a shooting happening a few hours earlier.

    this like 3rd staged attempt, 1st it was alleged assasination, followed by another attempt, and then this.

      Yeah so much of this seems so weird. The USSS response compared to similar incidents with other presidents seemed so odd - they secured the VP first and that staged af picture of them in a very non-tactical stack in the lobby/hallway? The fact the shooter even got past a single layer of security with a shotgun?? And apparently was some kind of IDF supporter, has anyone confirmed that picture?

      If it is staged, I wonder what genius thought to do this in a room literally filled with the world’s leading investigative journalists and reporters lmao.

      Nah.

      Things are definitely going to get interesting in the coming months and a false flag operation is absolutely on the table

      However, I don’t think they would bother with something this pathetic at this time. They weren’t even shooting at the pres this time. This isn’t going to rate a blip and no one will remember it when they go to vote in the mid terms.

      Think more like the 9/11 attacks but with less regard for human life, human suffering, and something that will stoke hatred for years and decades. For example, a dirty bomb in California.

      Edit: Sorry I’ve changed my mind. Earlier I was thinking the motivation would be Trump’s popularity generally. However, if the motivation is to build the ballroom then that changes things significantly. It seems likely that this was staged to substantiate a claim that the ballroom is required for security reasons.

          “What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built…

          This would never have happened in my planned Militarily Top Secret Ballroom”
