    Sometimes I wonder if this is all a setup. Sadly.

      It absolutely is. Both times they were his own voters. Not some communist immigrant transgender drag queen.

        Not to mention, the temporal proximity of this “assassination attempt” to the Roberts SCOTUS leak is, shall we say… suspicious.

        I am thinking same as @Zerlyna@lemmy.world. The first time was a wackadoodle that voted Donald. This time it stinks of desperate and paid. IMO by someone from Donald’s campaign as they couldn’t capitalize on the first attempt.

        I read that he was a never-trumpet Nikki Hayley supporter.

          That turned out to be fake.

          Edit - I’m not 100% sure it’s fake now because I read an article that he was all over the map politically. So, who knows.

      Here’s what I find especially odd. Trump’s trip to the golf course was apparently “unplanned” and “not on his official schedule.”

      https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-s-golf-outings-have-long-concerned-secret-service/ar-AA1qFI9I

      Yet the gunman had been there for 12 hours:

      Was he just waiting there in case Trump randomly decided to go golfing that day?

        That honestly wouldn’t surprise me. If you’ve seen the guy’s Tweets and YouTube videos, he clearly wasn’t very smart or sane. Dude literally travelled to Ukraine to try to “help.”

      First time was too close for trump taste so now they just told the shooter to roam around but to be sure to not shoot at the orange glowing stick

        And he’ll pardon them when he’s president again.

      #OperationConserve = #OperationKonserve the first attempt didn’t work as they wanted with Biden dropping out and because they have no original ideas…
