The news will be swamped with conjecture, conspiracy theories, accusations etc for at last a week.
CNN started its reporting with the narrative that Trump fell over after hearing a loud bang. No surprises there. CNN has carved out a reputation as being shills for the DNC.
It is hard to fathom motive at this point. What would drive the alleged shooter to commit “death by Secret Service”? Blackmail of his family, money, Trump Derangement Syndrome, a wish for immortal notoriety, revenge for something Trump did?
There are reports that. Aside from Trump turning his head at the critical moment, Trump was also hit in the chest, but his bullet proof vest saved his life.
Well, we will, no doubt, get a profile of the alleged shooter in the next few days.
Whilst viewing the video below, another angle – far-fetched perhaps, was that it was the Ukrainians that organized the “hit”.
That YouTube channel has the hallmarks of a pro-Russian perspective, but it reports that no Ukrainian solders expressed outrage. Rather the site reported that neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian army said, “they should have hired a better shot”.
Aside from finding out what the motivation of the alleged shooter was, the video shows where the shooter fired from – geo-located. Apparently, his position was right next to an army barracks.
W have all heard the eyewitness stating that he had bee pointing out to police and Secret Service that a man with a rifle was a roof. W have heard that standard operating procedure for the Secret Service would be to identify and secure any position that offered a clear line of sight to Trump. You would think that infra-red roof top surveillance would be standard or me such.
T is claimed that the shooter was obscured by a sloping roof. Well, I have a question. If the shooter was obscured, how did the Secret Service sniper take him out immediately after he had fired his five shots (two at Trump, one lethal shot at a Trump supporter and two other shots that were not fatal at Trump supports?
Which brings us to the “Cui Bono” question – who benefits?
Occam’s Razor indicates two major suspects. The Democratic National Party – who are going to suffer a landslide defeat in a few months – and Ukraine – who will be forced to the peace negotiation table with Russia and lose hundreds of billions of dollars that would otherwise be swallowed up by one of the most, if not the most, corrupt countries on the planet. Recall that one report of a Trump peace plan was to force Ukraine to the table or else it would not get more weapons from the US, whilst Russia would be forced to the table, or the US would send even more arms to the Ukraine!
Remember the Democratic Party impeached Trump for withholding nearly $400m (£327m) in congressionally approved military aid – because Trump wanted Ukraine's new president to launch an inquiry into his Hunter and Joe Biden’s corruption around Burisma I Ukraine?
A conspiracy theorist might say that Joe Biden’s rhetoric was a “go” signal.
Republicans blame Joe Biden for Donald Trump rally shooting (usatoday.com)
“A number of Republicans are pointing fingers at President Joe Biden after the shooting of former President Donald Trump at a political rally on Saturday, with some citing Biden’s recent statement that “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
Well, that is also far-fetched, as would speculation that recent meeting amongst major Democratic Party donors and its leadership figured out the only way to stop Trump being elected by a startling majority of Americans, would be to kill him.
Well, let’s way and see. We can only thank God the alleged shooter missed. Maks you wonder if a whistle-b lower will pop out of the ether, claiming all sorts of conspiracies – including that a leading Republican replacement candidate paid for the hit!
Onwards!!!

Cui bono includes also D. Trump. Slow motion video shows some odd things e.g.; his brief look at the 'gunman', then beating his ear very hard, yet on this hand there was no blood, The crowd behind him showed no fear, and the S S guys allowed him to be fully re-exposed.
