Counter Snipers and Trump

A few weeks ago I watched an interview, I think it was the sheriff who was in charge of the local police at the rally, and he flat out admitted there was a shared radio channel being used by the police and the SS. That means the SS had to be well aware of the threat long before shots were fired, because the police were well aware of a guy with a gun on top of a building, yet Trump was never moved to safety. Something seriously sinister occured that day and yet I bet no one will face any real consequences for their actions. If this was an attemp on Biden the media would still be milking it every single day in order to reiterate how violent and dangerous the right wing is. Absolute scum bags.

Yo, the kid didn't miss Trump. The sniper on the water tower did.

Silencing the kid is about all they did right.

The point being, a public assassination, if that is what this was supposed to have been, would have required far too many opportunities for premature exposure from possible whistleblowers ("loose lips sink ships"), which would continue to pose a threat even (and especially after) a successful "hit".

The revelation of such a plot, instigated by either the Administration, or the Democrat party, would have the potential to literally collapse the entirety of the Government in the resulting scandal.

Not what the they would want, especially since they are already in power.


Furthermore, assassinating Trump, in so open and publicly a manner, although it would eliminate him as a rival, would (and arguably has) elevated him to the status of "Martyr"; which would make his successor all that more appealing to a far wider voter base.

Also a "No Bueno" for Biden (or His successor) and the Democrats.


A "quiet kill" as I called it, would, on the other hand, not only have eliminated Trump, but done so in such a way as to remove the "halo of martyrdom" from his legacy; thus minimizing the GOP'S ability to capitalize on his memory. A "win" for the "D's".

And a quiet death would have been much easier to arrange, as well.

Especially since many here seem to be leaning into the idea that the USSS is somehow responsible for the attempt. Remember, as a former President, Trump is assigned a SS protection detail, 24/7. If someone in the USSS (or the the Executive Branch) wanted to kill Trump, quietly, it would take little to assign the assasin to his protection team.

Much "cleaner", and more importantly, much more operationally secure to have just one point of contact; especially if the contact is an agent. No loose ends to tie up. No questions to be asked, or answered.

Yet, even though it would have been so much easier, and likely more successful, to have done the deed quietly via the SS already imbedded with Trump, he still lives.


That kind of argues against the idea that the assassination attempt was ordered by Biden, the Democrats, or the USSS.


And, by extension, the certainty that this was, in fact, an assassination attempt.

You are giving too much credit to the IQ of Trump's opponents.
To me, if it looks like a duck...

After impeachments, indictments, mug shots, bankrupting decisions and threat of jail, 2 days before the RNC there is an assassination attempt?

He should be dead. Bottom line. They wanted his head to explode in front of CNN and the photographer.

Haley would have been marched in and she would have 'won'. War Hawk perfect.

It was not poor shots it was poor timing.

The USSS and the US government allowed the shooter to take the shots.

That is the biggest lie being spread about this event.

Crooks was slightly behind him. If he aimed at the side of his head and Trump had moved his head 90º he would have been shot in the face, not grazed in the ear.

Except that clearly he simultaneously leaned out toward the crowd to get a better look at the chart - it wasn't a rigid 90 degree rotation (is it ever?)

Those images are perpendicular to Trump, not slightly from behind.

They are also misleading. He didn't raise his hand for at least 8 seconds before the shots are heard. So somebody found a frame where they could make the images fit the narrative.

He was leaning forward looking at the chart for a good time, only moving his head around.

Says who? You? It was not poor shooting. Poor shooting would have been not coming close and only injuring people in the stands.

Trump was hit. Poor timing. Get it? If Trump had not turned then ducked he would dead. He did not do it because he has Spidey-senses he simply turned.

Poor timing.

I say the video and the positions of the shooter and Trump say so.

That is the reason everyone was reporting that the shooter was on the other side of the building. That is where he would have to have been to only graze his ear.
