You did not say it was just shaking out the way they want it to. You were coming up with conspiracy theories for how it happened. Stop playing dumb/innocent. We both know exactly what you’re doing and it is insulting that you think you can pretend it was anything else.
I am not coming up with it. It's been said since it's happened. Because he's a grifter that no one trusts and it's in his character to lie. Maybe try not being a douchebag and people will care if you are shot at and not think it's another grift 🤷
Trump is a piece of shit and a part of me wishes he was just a few cm over but I am also not a psychopath and understand that’s a bit twisted and I can’t let me hatred/fear of him drive me into conspiracy land.
Occam’s razor is clear here and we have NO evidence to the contrary. If new evidence emerges showing there is some potential fuckery with what happened I will gladly revise my stance. But until that evidence emerges, all I see is a tragic story of a 20-year-old two years out of high school that thought this was how he was going to solve his/our collective problem.
