There’s NO WAY Secret Service should have POTUS there still if they don’t know if the gunman acted alone or if he had help. POTUS should be so far away from there by now. This screams false flag.

Did they decide to goose the sagging love ratings that are making DJT cry by getting him not shot in the same place Bonny Ronnie R was shot? …I’ve been to that dinner. Nothing in the way this is being described makes any sense unless something very very strange has happened.

At a minimum, it is yet another spectacularly inept security failure by Trump’s security teams. Total incompetence permeates every aspect of this administration, Only the best.

Nah, that’s ridiculous. They have crazy heavy security surrounding and inside the building. It’s locked down. You don’t abscond into the unknown night willy-nilly.

Also, fuck trump. And fuck Weijia Jiang.

Either a false flag. Or an incredibly incredibly colossal fuckup by somebody in the very large security mob that oversees that … And the dinner has been held at the exact same place every single year on a very similar date for almost 60 years…So all of the gazillions of people involved in security know exactly how it’s done and what they should be doing. And that includes the hotel management and its staff…Which makes it incredibly unlikely that somebody connected to the hotel planted a weapon earlier for this guy to use or something – it’s very hard to see how anything like that could happen without being noticed and stopped…And it’s not like they’ve had lax security in rings surrounding the ballroom in previous years so they’ve tried something new and safer for big Donnie…There’s always been massive security and checkpoints all over the place so it’s not like there’s some glitch because they don’t fully understaqnd how to secure the place. Multiple agencies and organizations know how to secure the place…So … oomething wierd…And my bet is false flag…But, I don’t know, maybe the Hilton chain is sick of holding the dinner there and decided to commit a near murder so they don’t have to do it again? Now that’d be strange – just like anything else that I can imagine happening…

Well, to be fair, Trump promised something very entertaining at the event.

BULLSHIT

Another staged event to boost his piddling approval ratings.

Much like the fake assassination attempt in 2024.

Try harder to be skeptical and not ignorant. That gap is important.
