The person wasn't particularly close to him. But yes. I think it was staged. Here's why: Scrivener7 Apr 19 #7

But the entire Secret Service staff on the site (dozens) would have been in on it that way Polybius Apr 19 #13

The police likely reported the kid to the Secret Service. Scrivener7 Apr 19 #16

I get what you're saying, but I still think too many would have have to have been in on it Polybius Apr 19 #18

Whether they were in on it or not, they allowed him to hang out there for 20 minutes Scrivener7 Apr 19 #23

All they needed to do was follow orders. That's all. nt GenThePerservering Apr 19 #111

Why not run to the media, or the Biden Administration? Polybius Apr 19 #149

And risk their jobs? MorbidButterflyTat Apr 19 #159

If they would be the one to get the story out, they would all be heroes Polybius Monday #169

No. I think Donald John was lucky Vogon_Glory Apr 19 #8

I agree with the first part of what you wrote Polybius Apr 19 #10

I think you're right. Vogon_Glory Apr 19 #22

I think in that parallel universe, DeSantis gets the nomination Polybius Apr 19 #147

That must be an alternate universe where he has lots of charisma, Vogon_Glory Apr 19 #165

Well, a non-charismatic person can win the presidency Polybius Monday #170

No, because that would be impossible to pull off Polybius Apr 19 #9

The kid - the shooter - was shot and killed. Scrivener7 Apr 19 #12

Yes, so why would he take the offer knowing he'd be killed? Polybius Apr 19 #15

He was an underachieving magat. They could have told him they were Scrivener7 Apr 19 #20

Is there any evidence that the person was in communication with members of Trumps team? Kaleva Apr 19 #48

I don't know of any, do you? I doubt they would broadcast it. Scrivener7 Apr 19 #50

Usualky criminals don't broadcast but the evidence convicts them Kaleva Apr 19 #69

Ok. And? Magats apparently love Signal. Scrivener7 Apr 19 #86

The shooter is the weak link, always. They have to be silenced, like LH Oswald. marble falls Apr 19 #32

It's Possible Kid Berwyn Apr 19 #11

How did his ear heal with no scar? Emile Apr 19 #19

Maybe there was no contact, for one reason or another. bucolic_frolic Apr 19 #31

I think Trump hired a hit person to take out Epstein too. Emile Apr 19 #24

Kooky CT nonsense Fiendish Thingy Apr 19 #35

Agreed. It is getting really tiresome. n/t Ms. Toad Apr 19 #63

I consider it likely the powers that wanted Trump to win so they could steal us blind would do such a thing. Attilatheblond Apr 19 #82

Do you consider the logistics required to successfully fake an assassination attempt? Fiendish Thingy Apr 19 #98

I referenced the powers that wanted Trump to win, you know the billionaires making/stealing $$ with him in power Attilatheblond Apr 19 #114

It's still Kooky CT Nonsense Fiendish Thingy Apr 19 #119

You do you, as is your right Attilatheblond Apr 19 #120
