The world is now keenly aware of the shocking assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The would-be assassin? A 20-year-old named Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The details surrounding this brazen act are chilling, and the motives are still murky. Let’s dive into what we know so far about Crooks and his sinister actions.
The Shocking Incident
On a seemingly normal day in Butler, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump was addressing his supporters at a campaign rally. Suddenly, chaos erupted as gunfire rang out. The shooter was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a young man who traveled a few hours from his home in Bethel Park to carry out this heinous act. Crooks allegedly climbed onto a building near the rally and fired shots, one of which struck Trump in the ear. Thankfully, the Secret Service acted swiftly, shooting and killing Crooks before he could do more harm. Sadly, one rally attendee lost their life, and two others were critically injured.
Who Was Thomas Matthew Crooks?
Thomas Matthew Crooks was a 20-year-old man who lived with his parents in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. His father, also named Matthew Crooks, shares his middle name. Thomas graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022 and had received a $500 award from the National Math and Science Initiative. A video shared by Jonathan Lee Rich shows Crooks receiving his high school diploma to some applause.
Crooks was a registered Republican, according to state voter records. The upcoming November 5 election would have been his first chance to vote in a presidential race. But don’t let that fool you—there’s more to this story. In 2021, Crooks made a $15 donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians. This donation was earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group that rallies Democrats to vote. What does this tell us about his true political leanings? It raises more questions than answers.
Motives: Still a Mystery
Why would a young man who seemed to have a promising future turn to such violence? Authorities are still tight-lipped about the motive, calling it an assassination attempt but not revealing much more. Here are some of the theories floating around:
Political Hatred?
Did Crooks harbor a deep-seated hatred for Republicans or Trump specifically? His donation to ActBlue suggests he might have had left-leaning tendencies. Was this a politically motivated attack, or did he have a personal vendetta against Trump?
Mental Illness?
Could Crooks have been suffering from mental illness? There’s no clear evidence pointing to this yet, but it’s a possibility that cannot be ruled out. Sometimes, mental illness can drive individuals to commit unthinkable acts.
Terrorist Ties?
Was Crooks part of a terrorist organization, either domestic or international? The authorities have not provided any information to support this theory, but it remains a possibility.
Paid Hitman?
Could Crooks have been paid to carry out this attack? This seems less likely, given his background, but stranger things have happened.
The Aftermath
The fallout from this attempt on Trump’s life has been significant. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) closed the airspace over Bethel Park for “special security reasons” following the incident. Law enforcement officials, including the FBI, ATF, and a bomb squad, secured Crooks’ residence, which was surrounded by dozens of law enforcement vehicles and yellow police caution tape.
Neighbors and local residents are in shock. Dan Maloney, a 30-year-old resident, described the incident as “insanity.” Authorities are meticulously combing through Crooks’ life, trying to piece together why he would do something so drastic. Despite the extensive search, there’s little social media presence to give clues about his mindset.
Jonathan Lee Rich Investigates
Credit goes to Jonathan Lee Rich, who has been digging deep into this case. In his YouTube video, Rich provides a video of Crooks graduating from high school and discusses the various possible motives behind his actions. Rich raises pertinent questions about Crooks’ political affiliations, mental state, and potential connections to larger organizations.
Final Thoughts
The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks is a stark reminder of the volatile political climate we live in today. As we await more information from the authorities, we can only speculate about what drove this young man to commit such a violent act. Was it political hatred, mental illness, or something more sinister? Only time will tell.

Let’s keep the conversation going and hold those accountable who seek to harm our leaders and disrupt our democracy.
How many kids are talked into registering as a Republican to throw off any indication they are really leftist and if they do commit any acts of violence, well the MSM will quickly blame conservatives by the kids voter registration. This certainly seems to be the case.
They also do it to vote in the primary to sway the vote away from the most popular candidate.
MK-Ultra?
Will the assignation attempt of Donald Trump change anything? Will laws that already exist be finally enforced? Will those politicians, commentators like CNN, the radical left, the View, those on the streets with megaphone in hand calling for violence, all those involve in violence, and all the others spewing hatred be finally held accountable? Well, they certainly should be but don’t hold your breath. It is way past time to put down those who think they can say and do whatever they feel like.

Just another Lee Harvey Oswald proxy shooter the DNC/FBI/CIA/DOD/SS set up.
Democrat educators instilling their morals (the party of death) on the college population?
Sad – the loss of two lives and possibly two more. Had Trump not turned his head a half second before the shot – he would have been died. I believe he was protected.
What is even more disturbing are the videos of hysterical young people crying that Trump survived – this is beyond insane. WHAT have these young people been taught? WHAT has instilled in them this irrational hatred against someone whom they have never met and who caused no direct harm to them. This is beyond hysteria, insanity – this is demonic.
The young man was reported to have registered as a Republican but donated to the Democratic Party. It will be interesting to see what the media tells the public – lets see if they can be honest.
It’s not over yet. Guarantee there will be more violence the closer we get to the election. Additionally, when Trump gets elected, shit will hit the fan because the left will completely lose their minds (what little they have).
Absolutely all leftist demo media brainwash young indecisive, unstable, unintelligent boys and girls into murderers. This crazy media is talking about Trump’s assassination all day long. Just look at that idiot Griffin running around the stage with a replica of Trump’s severed head. They are the ones who turn children into murderers!
Suffered from indoctrination!
Have people forgotten the emotional reaction that occurred among some when Hillary lost?
There have already been a number of people claiming that Trump was protected by the angels of God. For example, Pastor John Locke posted the following: “Today, the entire world saw a dispatch of Angelic protection from The LORD.”
God is indeed sovereign over everything that occurs in heaven and on earth. However, it’s of paramount importance to ask and answer correctly to what end was Trump protected?
Has Trump been raised up as someone who’s going to help save America from the precipice upon which she precipitously teeters?
Or, has Trump been raised up as part of God’s judgment upon what’s become a very wicked nation, per, for example, Daniel 4:17?
The answer’s certainly not found in Option #1.
Although, Trump is the better option for some temporary fixes, ultimately, no man who promotes the biblically seditious Constitution (responsible for all of America’s woes) as the supreme law of the land is going to be used to save America from the precipice.
Consequently, the only option remaining is Option #2.
1787/1788, with the creation and adoption, of the Constitution, marks the official commencement of America’s suicidal trek to the precipice.
