Assassination attempt on Donald Trump - threadbans in OP

Mainstream media hack desperate to reign-in even the very suggestion of the possibility of a conspiracy to assassinate Trump; made by Cory Mills (Congressman and former sniper).

At 1:55 he makes the suggestion based on the massive mistakes of just basics.

You're not allowed to question the official narrative.

He's just speculating

At most imo maybe there was a local officer on the scene who said **** it let Trump take a bullet

Coincidences happen every day. We only take note of them because they seem weird. They're really not.

This is absolutely not a claim of conspiracy, but the idea that the head of the secret service, by her own admission chose to leave that roof unmanned due to health and safety concerns is BONKERS.

And not only was it left unmanned by her own people, but they did not even secure access to it to prevent anyone else getting on the roof - did she assume that terrorists would be similarly handicapped by elf-n-safety rules?

It reminds me a bit of the famous IRA quote when they nearly got Thatcher in the Brighton Hotel with a Bomb:

'Today we were unlucky, but remember we have only to be lucky once, you will have to be lucky always'

There's a huge amount that goes into security detail at these events. If you're having lots and lots of events then at some point someone can just get lucky, the stars align and all of the necessary things line up for them to make their move.

Even then, remember, Trump was not assassinated. So not everything lined up. It's almost did, but he's still here.

And this is most definitely moving into conspiracy theories. Between this and claiming he was a Democrat in disguise...

The evidence the shooter was a democrat is that he donated actual money to the Dems.
Registering as a Republican to vote against Trump in a Republican Primary, is a dem electoral tactic.

His classmates said he was deeply conservative as well. So the likelihood of him being a Democrat is pretty low.

How do you explain his obvious hatred of Trump then?

Maybe he didnt hate him.

Oswald didnt hate JFK.

Incompetence by the secret service or local law enforcement, unlucky for Trump and the others shot

That was also the first thing that came to mind , the old ira quote

I would hazard a guess it's impossible to keep trump completely safe although in this case there was clear incompetence somewhere

Yep there's a range of potential rationales. I'd hope they gain some understanding of it but will inevitably be a load of conspiracy theories regardless.

Hard disagree on your definition of luck there. FWIW I specifically said that I don't think there are any conspiracies there, so that's not my point, but your definition of good/bad luck doesn't make sense.

If the IRA's bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton had been dependent on this level of incompetence from the security services, it wouldn't have happened at all. "Good luck" for them would have been that Thatcher would have still been in the bathroom of her suite, which was badly damaged. "Bad" luck was that she had gone to bed about 5 minutes before the bomb went off. Something they or the security services couldn't control.

On the face of it, there was a massive downright failure from the US Secret Services the other day. "Bad luck" would be if there'd been an unexpected downpour that meant that visibility was poor or something. Leaving a roof unattended was not bad luck. That was a choice, and an incredibly stupid one. From people whose job it is not to make rookie mistakes.

Sarah Jane Moore and Squeaky Fromme didn't hate Gerald Ford.

It seems the stretches of logic that MAGA cult members are dragging together to try and make Crooks out to be a Democrat / Biden fan are incredible.

Every piece of information reported by credible media sources indicates that Crooks was a registered Republican gun nut.

There are numerous "Republicans against Trump" movements. Even Trump's nominee for VP has been an extremely vocal critic of his (indeed he's one of the originators of the "Trump is America's Hitler" comparison). It's not at all inconceivable that a Republican gun nut would want Trump dead (or martyred). In fact, it's highly likely. It's also far, far more likely that someone in possession of an AR15 is a Republican than a Democrat.

Mental health issues do seem likely from the interviews being published with those who were in school with him, however, if this was a case of attention seeking / looking to be famous, why is there so little social media presence? It seems a stretch that Google/Meta/X/Reddit etc. would have all moved quickly enough after Crooks was named to scrub such a presence. 4Chan/Reddit in particular are usually full of screenshots when such digital scrubs are attempted.
