Surprise!
… discussions on social media that Trump's women protective agents were too short to protect the 6ft 3in candidate,
Daily Mail
Especially when that “6ft 3in” candidate refused to duck down, preferring to keep his head high to hold up his fist and yell to his supporters whose lives he doesn’t actually care about.
Yeah. Short agents with a tall protectee is something of an issue, but a protectee that makes themselves a target is a far worse issue.
I can understand concluding correctly that it was over (once the Secret Service snipers had fired the threat is almost certainly neutralized) but I don't see him figuring that out.
But I now find myself wondering if this was an assassination at all:
(Can't get the video to play so I'm going to have to assume it matches the claim)
They were considered very strong supporters of The Felon. We have Alex Jones saying an assassination would benefit MAGA. What if this was a suicide who decided to help The Felon by providing an "assassination" attempt--but never actually fired at him. We have a hit in the crowd, we have reportedly a hit on the teleprompter. Did he deliberately miss and The Felon was simply hit by flying debris from the shattered teleprompter?
My expectation is that the shot was fired wide on purpose, and Trump
bladed his own ear, and that they all decided to murder an innocent in the crowd. All he would have to do is wait for the pops, and then nick a concealed razor blade through his own ear.
This is a common sort of maneuver in the WWE where Trump spent years bumping elbows and arranging such spectacles.
I don't think it was the teleprompter at all, or debris. I think it was done by his own hand.
Conveniently, the catspaw was shot to death.
