Failed Trump Assassination Attempt: Facts, Fiction and Conspiracy

Over the past few days, four theories have emerged regarding the failed assassination of Donald Trump. But three of these theories seem to dominate the narrative. Is there a conspiracy afoot, or was Trump’s failed assassination attempt the work of a lone wolf?

On Monday, I spoke about the 4 theories that had emerged regarding the failed assassination of Donald Trump:

  1. Was there even an attempt?
  2. Was this the doing of a lone actor?
  3. Trump faked the attack for public sympathy.
  4. The deep state did it!

 

I broke down the 1st theory on Monday’s blog, so if you want to read what I have to say, you can find it here. The idea that no attempt was made is absurd, considering a man died and two were injured – gunshots were definitely fired.

But before we examine the remaining 3 theories, let’s talk about some of the warning signs that were ignored.

Before exploring the remaining three theories, let’s talk about the warning signs that were ignored. Thomas Crooks first raised suspicion around 3 p.m. – nearly three hours before the shooting – when he passed through the security screening area with a rangefinder, according to CNN.

Numerous witnesses flagged him as suspicious, and there are multiple videos showing this. I even posted a video on Monday showing a man claiming he saw Thomas Crooks on the rooftop with a gun and reported it to police, yet nothing was done.

 

It turns out the gunman who shot at Trump was on the rooftop of the very building where the local police responsible for assisting the Secret Service in protecting Trump were stationed.

And lastly, claims indicate that minutes prior to the shooting, the Secret Service counter sniper who killed Crooks reported him but was told to stand down.

Now that we are on the same page, let’s look at the remaining three theories in light of the new information.

1. Matthew Thomas Crooks acted alone.

This is the narrative the FBI is pushing, which isn’t surprising. But if you’ve been paying attention to the news and social media, you’ll know this doesn’t add up. How could a lone gunman access the rooftop of a building with a clear view of the stage, only a few hundred yards away, especially when the building was filled with local police? How was there no Secret Service team on that roof, given its perfect sniping vantage point?

According to Secret Service Director Kimberly Chealte, it was due to the roof being too sloped. Honestly, a 20-year-old scrawny shooter managed to get up there, yet it was too difficult for the Secret Service? How is this woman still in charge? She should be jailed for gross incompetence leading to manslaughter.

Given what we now know, it’s hard to believe that Crooks acted alone. The fact that the Secret Service is blaming the roof and local police while the local police are blaming the Secret Service, coupled with the FBI’s narrative, suggests something else is going on.

 

2. Trump Faked it for Public Sympathy

Many Democrats and leftists share this theory. I posted a video this morning of an RNC protestor in Milwaukee arguing this, despite having no evidence. It’s laughable. Given how well Trump was doing in the polls after being found guilty of 34 charges, he didn’t need more sympathy.

3. The Deep State did it.

This theory appears most plausible to me. How were all the warning signs ignored? How did a gunman access the rooftop of a building filled with cops without help? Why was the covert sniper told to stand down? These questions point to a deeper issue.

Now the Secret Service even claims they have intel that Iran is planning an unrelated assassination attempt on Trump. This is so outrageous it’s hard to believe. While I have no proof that the deep state was involved, can anyone reasonably claim nothing suspicious is going on here?

One thing is certain, If I were Trump, I’d get rid of the Secret Service agents, tell them to get lost, and hire my own security forces. It wouldn’t be hard for Trump to find patriotic vets willing to defend him.
