1. Sorry guys, but do we know that it was a REAL assassination attempt or just a reason to PUSH the GOLD ballroom?

And AI search suggests that the largest ballroom currently in the U.S. is 30,000 square feet, and Trump wants a 90,000-square-foot one.

And how many folks like us will EVER get to attend an event in OUR gold ballroom?

We likely couldn't get through the first checkpoint. let alone into the 90,000 ballroom.

I'm nothing special. Never been in trouble with the law. One or two driving tickets. In 63 years. Third of 4 generation of military service, WWI, WWII, Vietnam (me- Medic), Iraq, both son and daughter each served 4 years.

Knowing what I know now, I think it was a fake. To my mind, the question is, who fired the eight shots. flashman13 Sunday #2
