The right-wing MAGA influencer who 5 months ago said Trump getting assassinated would be great for America and MAGA nation
Would a school shooter post an ominous message on a gaming app (Steam)? Yep. DailyMail.com confirmed U.S. Senators were told the 20-year-old gunman posted on Steam: 'July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds.' Message on gaming platform Steam by Thomas Crooks reportedly foreshadows rally shooting (cbsaustin.com)
CNN headline says investigators think this post is fake, but the story doesn’t elaborate on why they changed their minds..… https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/18/politics/thomas-matthew-crooks-steam/index.html
Here's the real concerning point, SS knew in advance a potential threat existed. That is not in dispute. So, why allow DT to go on stage? No excuse whatsoever. It has been claimed his SS was not sufficient especially with all the hatred spewed towards him. It is conceivable that that is by design. If there is a heighten potential that someone wants to assassinate DT and certain hot spots are not protected, at the very least it gives a potential assassin a great opportunity. IMO it's crazy to think the dems conspired with this 20 year old to kill DT. But the head of SS knows that if SS is reduced and some areas are not covered due to lack of personnel, then there's always the potential some crazed person will find the unprotected spot in which they did in this case. Once again, it appears no one will be held accountable for this colossal situation. Rarely if any accountability happens in this administration. After the assignation attempt we heard zip, zilch from the head of SS, head of FBI or from director of HLS. In fact, it appears none wants to face the music but why should they, they get away with it because they know they can. My concern is nothing will change and DT will continue to be exposed with limited security.
Not unlike John Hinckley who was stalking President Carter several months before he tried to assassinate President Reagan. Also completely kills the myth still be perpetuated by right-wing sources that the Crooks assassination attempt was attributable to inflammatory language by Joe Biden, Dan Goldman and Democratic and liberal commentators in general. John Hinckley stalked Carter in Dayton before shooting Reagan
Your criticism of the Secret Service is right on point. Just one question since you expressed concern that Trump would be exposed because of limited security, if the SS decided that they couldn't provide adequate security for one or more of Trump's MAGA rallies at outdoor venues do you think the former president would agree to cancelling or rescheduling the rallies for smaller indoor venues? My guess is in the negative.
It really stinks that the leftists have been able to brand “Make America Great Again” as bad. I don’t have a “MAGA” hat/shirt/cup/etc. But think the slogan is perfectly fine. The media and left just hate Trump. And try to equate anyone who supports conservative values as MAGA in an attempt to silence people more than anything. There is a reason so many people support Trump. And considering the attempt by the left to demonize people who do. MAGA is about to be front and center. And that is not a bad thing. Unless you are a fringe leftist…
This whole thing could have been preventable. Furthermore, a great man was killed, leaving a wife and kids. It's not that just some heads should roll, but will this get fixed? Next time it might succeed.
Two thoughts. Head of USSS is likely hoping some intermediate is found with sufficient pre-incident damning intelligence that could fall on the sword for her. Second... can you imagine the screaming "weaponization" that would come from USSS barring the orange buffoon from his rally?
