    Any info on the assailant?

    This looks so fucking fake I have to say. I’ve watched combat videos from Ukraine and Israel since the beginning and this whole thing just seemed so odd. I wouldn’t be the list be surprised if a Trump burst a ketchup packet (or movie equivalent) by his ear. This timing is so…so convenient.

    Friendly reminder: all these secret service guys assigned to Trump are, themselves, Trumpers.

      Can’t say that’s necessarily true (that last bit). They are sworn in to duty to protect current or past president’s with their life, regardless of personal belief.

      My perspective is that the secret service guys are bound to life.

        I recalled hearing a couple things over the course of the Jan 6th impeachment hearings, which is the President has some say in who his personal detail is, and that there was some info pertaining to them being supportive of him personally. I’d have to review to be certain though.

        I know a couple current and former USSS agents, they’re hardcore trump supporters. That’s not to say they all are as I don’t know them all, but they are law enforcement after all.

      if we get a video showing something changing on his face before he touches it or falls to the ground, I think that would rule out false flag, or at least they would have had to actually shoot something at him to do that.
