Always assume incompetence before looking for conspiracy –Niccolo Machiavelli

Sorry, Niccolo. I have a Twitter account so I know the Trump assassination attempt was a conspiracy. It could not be more obvious. The shooting was a setup. But by whom?

The tipoff for me was the moment when Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle told us that the roof was unguarded because of the steep slope. That answer was not just preposterous, it was embarrassing. Nobody at that level is actually that mentally challenged. She wanted us to think that she and her underlings were simply incompetent. Yeah, right. Nobody is that clueless. But why the misdirection?

Cui Bono? Let’s explore the possibilities.

  1. Putin interfering again for Trump. To make Trump a victim, the bullet was supposed to be close and wound up being too close. Trump’s act of defiance instead of ducking proves he knew. And a news photographer with a high-speed camera to catch the bullet’s path just happened to know when to click? A plan with this many moving parts had to be the Russians. Our Deep State is not that good. Or are they?
  2. Deep State. The old trademark shooter ID double switch—a shooter who was a Republican, apparently switches allegiance. (Lee Harvey Oswald appeared to be a committed commie but really a tool of the CIA.) The shooter was a failed gun club dropout no doubt secretly retrained. And dumb enough not to know he would be instantly taken out afterward. This loser checked all the boxes.
  3. The Bidens. The incredibly clear path for a guy in camo with a sniper rifle carrying a new 12-foot ladder walking straight from Home Depot to climb up to the perfect ambush spot? A security breach that wide required orders from above from Jill’s handpicked SS director. Is the Big Guy capable of forming that complete thought? Be serious. I am looking at you, Dr. Biden.

Feel free to weigh in with new evidence or other theories.

    Obviously number one because of all the great things that Trump did for Putin when he was in office.

    Not a Banana Republican@Dbroussa·2y

    Note at the bottom where it says that Grok makes mistakes...

    It seems that this comes from one report in an outlet called the Atlanta Daily World, a Black newspaper founded in 1928. That report (with no mention of sources other than "law enforcement").

    On July 13, Donald Trump was reportedly hit by glass shards, not a bullet, after a shooting occurred at scheduled rally in Pennsylvania. According to law enforcement, a bullet hit a teleprompter and Trump was grazed by glass shards.

    That link is to a Xeet from Saturday at 6:44PM

    So, Grok appears to have taken a Xeet from shortly after the event...one that is a report that others have not verified and which almost every news outlet has not reported and is making that their main info on the topic.

    I'm going with the DeepState Globalists faction assisted by CIA/State Department led 4th branch of government. It's the BlackRock advertisement involving the shooter and the need to groom him and the Secret Service in preparing for the event.

    If it's posted on X it must be true therefore all 3 choices are true and hundreds of people to include the Secret Service, local law enforcement, Democrats, Republicans, the FSB, neo-Nazis, and Antifa had a secret meeting and found a shooter to attend the Trump event and managed to keep it a secret.
