I wanna agree, especially with how performative the fist pump is, but at the same time, someone did die, right? That's the part that makes me lean towards this as a real assassination attempt. But maybe it was an accepted cost of doing this?
I dunno, at this point I think I just need to take a break from news communities and wait for real investigations, I'm losing my mind with the speculations
Leaning toward false flag as well. It feels very scripted. I'd wager the dying bit wasn't part of the gunman's agreement.
Step 1: Nobody talks about Trump, everybody is busy discussing how old Biden is. All attention with the dems
Step 2: Stage an assassination attempt with some blood but also good photos with a fist pump
Step 3: Kill the shooter so they don't talk
Step 4: Profit and everyone talks about Trump now
Such a sad day. Richard Simmons died 😭😭
