I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    Edit: According to Wikipedia, the final stance now is that the wound was caused by a stray bullet

    Okay if we assume thst to be true then why did the kid get killed? Do you think 17 year olds agree to sacrifice themselves for Donald Trump, being reviled among his voterbase for the rest of history and seen as the latest Lee Harvey Oswald ?

      They set people up all the time.

      “Here’s some money. Buy me drugs bro. You’re under arrest!!”

      “Oh, you’re pissed off at your wife? Well what are the odds? I know a hitman!”

      “So you want to die huh? Why not go out as a hero? The president will be at this location and this door will be lightly guarded. Thanks for saving your country!”
