I had predicted this would happen. I am so thankful it didn’t turn out worse. I am sad for his supporters who were killed or injured. It’s a low point in America that Trump derangement has reached this level. The shooter was 20 years old. Now he is dead. Why?
Didn’t Joe say that we have to target Trump? Just saying Democrats Apparatchiks want to please their ”Fearless Leader”. Just saying sounds like a call for violence?
Eye witness testimony that he saw the shooter climb on to the roof with a rifle. He told SS and police and he was ignored. Don’t need to know anything more than that. This was another hit job by our own government. Takes the focus off dementia Joe now doesn’t it??
Karen,
I think you are correct. The SS as well as the “police” were warned WAY ahead of the shooting, that there was a man with a rifle crawling up on that roof. Once the shots were fired, THEN the SS “reacted”, which tells me they had to “eliminate” the shooter, before he could be arrested, questioned, and reveal WHO HIRED HIM.
Maybe it is time for the Trump haters and the media and the Democrats to stop calling Trump Hitler and Fascist and every other derogatory name they can think of.
Seems the dems shadow government will kill again to stay in power! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!
Another deep-state cover-up, just like John Kennedy.

” Its time to put Trump in the bullseye,”

Anyone want to bet the Deep State and George Soros were the masterminds?

Interesting that Trump was shot at 5 days after Biden said to “Put Trump in a bullseye” Charge Joe with conspiracy.
This whole event smells. Why the lack of real security, in light of this countries history of assassination of political figures. Several people reported seeing someone with a gun on top of a building, near the event. At the same time there was a team of Secret Service snipers on top of another near-by building.. Of course, at that height, they could, should have seen with their scopes the same person. Why wasn’t something done at that time??? This is one for the history books, dereliction of duty? How do you explain this. Only by the grace of God, and the turning of his head did former President Trump escape death or permanent damage. There is plenty of responsibility lacking,
is well-known of the rancor between the main participants in this race for the Presidency. Has there ever a time when the sitting President hints about a “bulls-eye ” on his opponent. Enough from both camps on this campaign trail.
Our nation expects and rightly so, for some differing of opinions and ideas on how things should be conducted. There is always room for new ideas, without resorting to name calling or fabricating events. A healthy, open honest exchange should be available.
Without question, this was a horrific “Site Assessment FAILURE” by the Secret Service. No one other than a member of Donald Trump’s protection detail should have had the opportunity to access the roof of a building only 130 yards away with a clear line-of-site to the podium. It is only through God’s Amazing Grace that we are just praying for a speedy recovery, for the event attendee who was murdered, and for those who are still fighting for their lives. ???????????????????? Lord, hear our prayers now and in the future for the man who is still willing to “stand in the way” for us and for our nation.
Trump Shooter Named: The Five Things We Know (and some we don’t know for sure). — by Tiffany Layne in “Kevin Jackson Network.” On 6/28/24, Joe Biden proclaimed that Donald Trump was “a genuine threat to this nation. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.” Joe even said that a “bullseye” should be put on Trump. That’s clearly an invitation to kill.
At least one of the Left’s “useful idiots” was listening…and acted on Joe’s message. The Republican registration was just for “cover;” but the donation to ActBlue revealed Thomas Crooks loyalty.

Could the Secret Service have been told to stand down until a threat was put into action?
In the rally video the SS sniper team in overlook behind Trump was looking AT THE SNIPER but did nothing.
What was that open roof in the prime shooter position left vacant?
As False Flags go, the DNC/FBI/CIA/DOD/SS set up was poorly done.
51 former CIA chiefs said they were not involved because they do not miss, …..maybe by just a little bit!
