I wanna agree, especially with how performative the fist pump is, but at the same time, someone did die, right? That's the part that makes me lean towards this as a real assassination attempt. But maybe it was an accepted cost of doing this?
I dunno, at this point I think I just need to take a break from news communities and wait for real investigations, I'm losing my mind with the speculations
Leaning toward false flag as well. It feels very scripted. I'd wager the dying bit wasn't part of the gunman's agreement.
Everyone discussing this possibility keeps focusing on the person dying, but why does anyone think these people give a shit?
In fact, a real death of a normal Trump supporter not only adds more fuel to the fire, but it would add an extra layer of obscurity for the people ultimately responsible. Because people like you will say it can't be real.
Again, I am not saying this is what happened.
For sure. At this point, real or false flag are both plausible. Folks like Trump wouldn't bat an eye at killing off a couple supporters if he could spin it for a positive gain.
I'm mostly just waiting on info on the gunman to draw a conclusion. Is he the kind of person who'd want Trump dead, or the kind of person who'd agree to shoot at the crowd behind Trump for a fat paycheck?
If the former, it's too bad he missed.
