    Bro is this a serious comment? The guy didn’t have a shot on Trump. He was fired at before Trump was in range. What the actual fuck are you saying? It was 100% an assassination attempt. I know people hate Trump but everyone here screaming about staged assassination attempt conspiracy theories are no better than the conservative conspiracy theorists. Be better, be smarter people.

      I guess maybe there are downsides to telling an average of a dozen lies per day? It means if you try to claim something is true there’s no reason for people to believe you…

      You seem to be quite riled up but it’s important to get all the facts first before letting our emotions take over.

      The facts are that a disturbed man hid in the bushes outside of trumps golf course in Florida with a gun. Secret service saw the guy and shot near him and chased him. This guy did not at any point get close or within sight range of Trump.

      Did he wanna kill Trump? Possibly. But the fact remains he never aimed at trump, he never got close to him, and he never fired a single shot.

      There was no assassination attempt. Take deep breath. No one has mentioned any conspiracy theory. Id wager in fact that those hellbent on calling this an assassination attempt are trying to create their own conspiracy theory. Be better and be smarter, my guy.

          Screenshots of a recently edited Wikipedia page. I’m really curious what you hope to get out of warping reality in this story?

        It’s one thing to think about, and even to write about it publicly (which he did)

        But this guy, also went and brought his gun, scope, and armor to the place trump was known to be, waited for 12 hours, and then was finally caught one hole before trump would’ve been in sight if the early reports are to be believed.

        If it is not an assassination attempt, what else could’ve it been? The guy made explicit public posts about assassinating trump, then went to where trump was with a gun, and then waited for trump to be in the sights of his gun. To me it sounds like the security agent interrupted his attempt at assassinating trump, not anything else.

        I think it would be easy to suggest that, had that agent not interrupted that guy, he would’ve tried shooting at trump.

        By no means do I support trump, but, my hate for him isn’t so strong for it to deform reality I hope.

          Dude the people in this thread are out of their fucking minds. I’m getting downvoted for telling people not to spread conspiracy theories. Absolutely insane behavior here. At least on Reddit you get crazies on both sides. Here it’s just one sided crazies.

            Because no one here is spreading any conspiracy theory except for you, who are trying to warp reality by claiming there was an attempt. There was not. You are creating your own reality out of emotion and projecting that same emotion on everyone else by claiming people are doing this out of “hate”.

            Just take a deep breath because the way you’re acting can’t be good for your health.

          It sounds like you really want this to be an assassination attempt and are doing your very best to justify it as such. I won’t try and dissect that because it’s a personal thing to you and I don’t even know you.

          In reality, he may have wanted to kill trump. But at the same time, he did not get close to him, he brought a bunch of equipment and hung around outside a secured facility until the guards chased him away. That is a suspicious and armed person on the premises. Not an attempted assassination.

          There were no shots fired, he didn’t get close, he didn’t even get within sight range.

          I understand this is an emotionally charged subject for you since you keep insisting that reality unfolded differently so I won’t engage with you further. I wish ya well.

            Oh don’t be so condescending, it was an attempt by all common definitions. And further, the FBI themselves is investigating the issue as an assassination attempt.

            Not only do I think you are confused, I think you’re being a bully about it and should check yourself.

            I mean, if a guy posted the same stuff about Joe Biden, tried to break into the White House with a pistol, but was stopped before he could pull the trigger, would you call that an assassination attempt? I sure would - he wanted to kill the guy so he went there to do the deed. What other reason would someone have to hide in the bushes on someone else’s property with a gun for 12 hours?

          Thanks for commenting. We should be seeking truth.

          When both sides discredit themselves then there is no truth anymore… just mass confusion. Im so sick of this disinformation age.
