"How we know Democrats want Trump killed".

As i understand it the shooter was a registered republican.

You know what i think? It was a Trump set up, he was slipping in the poles, what better way to zoom in front than a failed assassination attempt.
That’s equally ridiculous.

What's ridiculous?

The claim they want him dead or the claim they wanted to strip him of his SS protection if convicted of a felony(the dems did introduce a bill for that)


a Democratic bill that would have stripped Trump’s Secret Service protection detail upon sentencing for a felony conviction.
That “Democrats” want him killed. You can’t lump them all together and that’s exactly the type of divisive language that should be shunned right now.

What train of logic would lead someone to vote for Trump because someone shot at him and missed?

Its seems conflicting. Same as students saying he tried out for the rifle team but wasn't good enough. The school says there is no record of Crooks trying out for the team and he never appeared on a roster.

"So far, a confusing - and at times conflicting - picture has emerged of who Crooks was as a person.

Speaking to local news outlet KDKA, some young locals who went to school with him described him as a loner, who was frequently bullied and sometimes wore "hunting outfits to school".

Another former classmate of his, Summer Barkley, cast him differently, telling the BBC that he was "always getting good grades on tests" and was "very passionate about history".

"Anything on government and history he seemed to know about," she said. "But it was nothing out of the ordinary... he was always nice."

She described him as well-liked by his teachers.
Others simply remembered him as quiet.

"He was there but I can't think of anyone who knew him well," one former classmate, who asked to remain nameless, told the BBC. "He's just not a guy I really think about. But he seemed fine."

Jameson Myers, a former member of the Bethel Park High School varsity rifle team who graduated alongside Crooks in 2022, told CBS that Crooks did not make the team.

"He did not even make the junior varsity team after trying out," Mr Myers added. "He never returned to try-outs for the remainder of high school."

Another former classmate told ABC News he "shot terrible" and "wasn't really fit for the rifle team". The school district said there was no record of Crooks trying out for the team and he "never appeared on a roster".

Mr Myers remembers Crooks as seemingly a "normal boy" who was "not particularly popular but never got picked on or anything."

“He was a nice kid who never talked poorly of anyone and I never have thought him capable of anything I’ve seen him do in the last few days.”

Max Smith, who took an American history course with Crooks, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that his former classmate "definitely was conservative".

Mr Smith recalled a mock debate in which they both took part, saying: "The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side."

"It makes me wonder why he would carry out an assassination attempt on the conservative candidate," he said.

Keep going. Before the end of the day you might question whether he ever existed.

Whether it was his plan seems remote but I still think he's capable of such a trick to gain the presidency
Remote indeed. Who would come up with a plan to get shot in the ear with an AR-style weapon from 115 or so meters away? It’s not remote. It’s blatantly ridiculous.

Only if Trump didn't know the shooter didn't have an adequate rifle and was a lousy shot.

You got to admit, it hasn't done his ratings any harm
