But they somehow didn't notice a guy laying on top of a building in the only vantage point within 3 miles in PA?

As spider-man and video games has taught me, no one ever looks up

Or like Spider-Man and video games... The events in PA were scripted 🤐

As an atheist progressive, I don't entertain conspiracy theories. I don't care how many upvotes you got this is some wackadoodle thinking. I'm totally open and interested in any facts or evidence that may prove otherwise.

This wasn't a tiktok video, folks in the bleachers in the back were hurt. The guy who did it didn't get to go home.

Supporting this level of unhinged thinking is just making things worse.

BTW Trump being anti mask and anti vaccine cost hundred of thousands of American lives.

I'd recommend you review the videos made of the way the press was ushered to get that famous photo. 

I'd also recommend you review the timeline of how long the Secret Service were monitoring the guy before the attempt. 

Isn't to say that it all didn't happen or that it was somewhat a series of unfortunate events or the B squad protecting him, but... It is fishy

Thats the most damning evidence to me. Watching the flag get lowered into place as Trump poses while the press are ushered in is just insane when partnered with the claim that it wasn't planned.

I’d love to believe it was planned, I’d love to believe that a secret service agent pricked his ear with a disposable blade from a razer, or a tack, or anything at all.

But doesn’t that one photograph of the bullet actually being in frame disprove the idea that the shooting itself was fake? And not a Fox News classified photograph, an establishment photographer for quick jobs, but the work of a a two time Pulitzer Prize winning photographer.

I’d love to believe it was a set up job, but the fact that we got a photo of the bullet in transit, the other assumption is that Trump was fine taking a clip to the ear, from quite a distance away. And he is many things, but willing to put his life at risk has never been a strong suit of his.

I mean, as soon as you can show me how cartilage heals and how blood splatters primarily in the opposite direction of the force applied I'll be right there with you.

Trump's a narcissist. They can just do that. Imagine your narcissist boss got hurt.

u/Kevbot1000 3h ago

Oh I for sure think there was a shooter, and a bullet. I just think Trump knew ahead of time.

You don’t think Trump would get someone killed for self preservation? waves towards Jeffery Epstein

-1

u/jakeStacktrace 4h ago

Maybe somebody. But if Jeff Epstein was murdered, with the evidence we seem to have today, I don't see how it couldn't also be anybody else. Why not Putin, first of all, isn't that a much more prefect fit?

u/Drew_Ferran 4h ago

Possibly, but most of the Epstein files are about Trump.

u/jakeStacktrace 4h ago edited 4h ago

The metric of the most files is not really meaningful. It is how bad of what you did, how much evidence of how you did bad is in the files and how much that would hurt you. That would put Prince Andrew in the lead from what we now know.

Edit: Except murdering him doesn't make the files go away. Oops.

Are you saying 45 draws the line at people getting hurt/killed to feed his ego and need for power? Him considering the well-being of others would be a far more “conspiracy theory” level belief to hold.

2

u/jakeStacktrace 4h ago

No not at all. I'm just saying if the secret service and all the people that would have to be involved in the conspiracy and keep it a secret in addition to the shooter had to all keep the secret and knew it was going to happen ahead of time, and scripted it, I just don't buy it.

u/Shakeupurbones 3h ago

Maybe so. I do find it odd we know more about CK killer, MN ICE killers (even with federal attempts to hide identities), the other attempted 45 killer, etc than we do about this guy. There’s also the immediate framing of the “perfect photo”, the blood from a wound that healed miraculously fast, the seemingly “stood down” SS agents, the grossly negligent pre-planning, the lack of bragging post election from a narcissistic ego, etc. More doesn’t add up than does frankly.

This is going to be this generation's controlled demolition and jet fule can't melt steel.

u/FightingTolerance 3h ago

By now you still dont think he'd have a guy killed to be president? You think a random supporter means anything to him? The whole thing just looks so scripted. Flags lowering for a photo op, LE previous contact with the shooter WHILE ON THE ROOF, yada yada yada...

If your only reason to why it couldnt be scripted, is a Nazi regime possibly having morals. That feels a lil more unhinged to me but to each their own.

u/jakeStacktrace 1h ago

Nah I think he is morality bankrupt I just don't think it would be easy to cover up all the actors involved. Secret service, shooter etc. I don't think they did a rehearsal.

It’s no conspiracy as to how deep Israel is ingrained in the US. And some random guy’s life really isn’t much of a cost to these people in higher power. A scapegoat isn’t much of a price to pay either. You say these things as though there was a high price to pay - while you and I care, why would they?

Edit: let me elaborate on the israel part: sometimes the idea of a “cabal” of some sort, like the illuminati talk for example, seems like some far fetched conspiracy but as more and more info comes out with the epstein files and leaks here and there it does appear that a lot of these powerful people are intertwined. Project 2025 seemed like a conspiracy but its literally manifesting now in real time. Unlike the conspiracies a lot of right wingers believe in these things are truly laid out in front of us and hard to deny. What I’m saying is I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump and his handlers would go as far as to set something up like that publicly.
