Trump has not yet contacted the widow of Corey Comperatore

It Aint Necessarily So

Biden reached out but the woman refused his call. She also said that Trump had not yet contacted her.
A nice epitome of the two men. The choice is clear depending on what you value in a leader.
Looks like Trump doesn't care about victims of republican on republican violence in my view.
Trump doesn't care about anybody but himself. He's extremely deformed but extremely easy to understand. He has just a few impulses. He wants power, to be associated with wealth and luxury, adoration, and if you cross him, revenge. He has no moral values but selfishness. If you see something attributed to him that seems to violate any of that, it's due to his handlers.
From the Convention last night: Trump kissing a fire suit supposed to represent the man killed at the rally. It is not the chief's suit. They spelled his name wrong.

You know that this is staged, not sincere, right? Trump has no such feelings. He's been convinced that this was something he should do. It's a performance, like holding up a Bible was, or hugging flags: "When Fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross." - Sinclair Lewis
He was a Republican.
Probably, but does that matter apart from undermining MAGA claims that Biden had Trump shot or whatever conspiratorial fever dreams are floating through their malevolent minds presently? What he was was another mentally unstable American who had been radicalized by gun culture (and bullying according to school acquaintances), divisive politics, and Trumpian stochastic terrorism.

So, apparently Trump did finally contact the widow. Here is the timeline

Trump was released late Saturday after the shooting.

Monday, the New York Post (Murdoch's paper) publishes the story in which the widow says she had not been contacted by Trump.

Tuesday, the New York Times publishes a story in which the widow say Trump contacted her on that Tuesday, of course AFTER it was brought to public attention that he had not yet called her. So three days before he finally got off his fat, egotistical a** to let her know how truly sorry he was for her loss. He is a joke.

Would have been radical to assassinate Hitler? Stalin? Pol Pot? Anyone else who's already had forced sterilizations happen under his first term?

I have often wondered if he was with his mama when he registered.
I am wondering if the story about him donating to progressive causes is false information. I am wondering if it was someone else with the same name.

But I am willing to just wait and see how solid that information is.

How many of those republicans donated to a dem pac?

The kid registered as a republican. The kid donated to the dems. Why on either, no one knows.

Why would you donate to something unless you support it?
Why would you register as something unless you support it.(parents he still lived with?)
It seems the kid was disturbed

I began my journey a Democrat, then I left the pack a little crossed over into Republican waters. It's nothing unusual. Trump did something similar. The donation was made when he was 17, before he registered to vote. I'm thinking he changed his stance or was too young to have a firm enough grasp on which side he supported most, if any. He contributed to both parties, apparently. One with $15 dollars, the other with his registration of inclusion.

I'll suggest differently on your lack of sincerity statement. The man took a bullet aimed to take out Trump and died. I'll suggest he's heavier burdened than some would like to paint him. Honestly, I'd be pissed off and despite, Mr. Crooke no longer being a threat, I would likely have my team doing double duty looking for others who might potentially be involved. There's no way I'd leave it a "just some random disturbed kid without a cause, particularly after reading about Iran's plot, and then there are possible other entities who might have influenced the kid enough to take this kind of action. That's me. Maybe Trump would be less prone to have his team investigate possible connections in an attempted murder of himself.

You should check your facts. It is his jacket. It was loaned for use in the convention. Yes, the name is misspelled. But that is explained.
"The misspelling on the jacket, which instead says "Compertore," was not the fault of Trump. The Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company confirmed it was his gear and that it was sent to Trump, which the former president shared in his speech."

As it states in the NY Post article, the widow supports Trump and is going to vote for him. So apparently she understands and accepts that Trump didn't call her until Tuesday. So if she doesn't mind it shouldn't be anyone else's business. It is a personal matter. She refused Biden's call. Trump spoke with her on Tuesday. The family allowed the convention to use the victim's uniform. This story has no legs. It is a nothing burger.

It seems to me his donation would have been in support of accepting the election results. IMO, a conservative American would uphold the Constitution whether they agree or not. And that incident of J6, turned a significant number of the party away from the candidate. Unfortunately they may chose to not vote at all in November.

That's like me saying it seems to me he would have registered as a republican to please his parents.(which I haven't said)

At this point there is no telling how the voters will turn out.
At this point we don't even know for sure who Trump will be running against.

You dty so hard to distort the narrative.

Thomas Matthew Crooks was a 20 year old registered Republican. According to the Wikipedia entry:

On January 20, 2021, at the age of 17, he donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a liberal voter turnout group, through the Democratic Party donation platform ActBlue.[9][13][15][33] His donation was made the same day that President Biden was sworn into office.[8] According to the Progressive Turnout Project, he made the donation in response to an e-mail about "tuning into" the inauguration; he was unsubscribed from the group's mailing list in 2022.[32]

Clearly the profile of an agent of the Democratic Party. :rolleyes:

Try being a little more honest next time.
Btw.

You all can argue over nonsense all youns like.

Two facts...
1. He was registered as a republican.
2. He donated to a democrat platform.

Now if anyone has any evidence/facts of why he did either, now would be the time to bring it forth. Until then people should quit denying either of those two facts.

Is proof he was insane, nothing more than that.

And I think there is other evidence that he had serious psychological issues, but I am still not sure how accurate the details are. I have heard reports that he suffered from depression, but I am still not sure that is true. I have heard reports that he donated to progressive cause, but I am still not sure that is true.

I still advise people to be patient, and make sure any detail of the story is solid, backed up by multiple reliable sources and give it time.
If it proves he was insane, then he wouldn't be competent to stand trial if he had been caught alive. Same goes for any other assassin.

How about speculation based on observation? Discussion is what forums like this are made for.

His Dad seemed to live a very conservative lifestyle. He purchased the rifle that was used about 11 years ago, and also had many other firearms. Perhaps he encouraged his son to get registered, and had raised his son on conservative values, and therefore got him registered as a Republican. But the school his son attended in a Democrat state like PA probably fed him democrat food for thought, and that convinced him to be more "democratic".

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.

Still, the moment was a sick exploitation of the death. It would have been better if he had personally called the widow and not made a big show of his 'compassion.'
If he hadn't been honored by Trump at the RNC after losing his life to show support for Trump, people would say he was sick for not doing so.

When those people first came into power? Yes, it would have been radical. But hindsight is always 20/20.

People can speculate all they want. Speculation doesn't change facts.

You can speculate he wasn't a repub. Fact is he was registered as one.
You can speculate he didn't like dems. Fact is he donated to them.

That is not necessarily true. People can be insane and still deemed competent to stand trial. As long as the defendant understood the nature of the action and understood that it was wrong, and is capable of assisting in his defense, he can stand trial and if found guilty be sentenced.

In this case the person may have been suffering from depression, manic depression (this is not a clearly established fact, It has been suggested by some evidence so I am speaking hypothetically). But even if that were so, he knew what a gun was, knew that would happen if he fired it towards people, and knew that it was wrong/illegal, and if he survived he would be capable of communicating with his legal council. He would be competent to stand trial despite his psychological condition.

Even if he though the dog spoke to him and told him to do it, as long as he understood what he was doing, he could still stand trial.
