chump and his administration have lied consistently and continuously, so how is anyone to believe anything that they have their grimy. sticky hands on? They're the best example ever of "The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf".

For what he wrote about to his family and now it's being portrayed as some kind of devious trump magic trick?

MAGA has spent the past 11 years turning everything into a conspiracy. Now their own dissatisfied voters are turning on the MAGA leadership and won’t trust the things that happen around this fascist regime either. It won’t matter if it was a real attempt or not, these people are down the rabbit hole now.

have just stayed home.

I can certainly see why the internet thought it was staged, though.

That's what PEDO does. Nothing is real... except this would be assassin from California. I don't think he thought this through.

Sigh..

They try to manipulate and exploit it in the same way they would if it was.

If that is the case, failed attempt wannabe. Either case, he shouldn't even try...

1. Assignations are just wrong!
2. Hitler in his last years was a more viable a live for his incompetence.

However I also have said I don’t consider this to be a true “assassination attempt” in need of giving sympathy to the president or suddenly changing course and saying “sure you can build the ballroom cause a crazy guy with a gun got nearby.” But the RWers are sure using this for all they can right now thats for sure sure.
