    how were the secret service not on the roofs or monitoring the roofs from aerial POV? Most obvious spot for a sniper.

    How do you know they weren’t and just missed it?

    the dude interviewed by British journalist right after that says him and group saw man with gun climbing roof, told cops and secret service and neither did anything

    Did you see the photo of the guy? A neck beard with a MAGA sun visor. If he comes to the police saying he saw a guy with a riffle on the roof, what will the likely conclusion be? that’s a secret service agent, that’s what it will be.

    his first and only focus was his shoes?

    Your point being?

    a man who is a documented coward and narcissist pushed against secret service to face cameras and have his head exposed for a long period of time?

    He’s also an idiot, so…

    secret service ignores protocol to cover and remove him and let’s him vamp and pose

    Same as with several of the previous points, incompetence more than accurately explains it.

    straight lines of blood on his face, history with pro wrestling

    Same as with shoes, what’s your point?

    yes, the supposed gunman was killed, but on what day are there not thousands of trump cultists lined up and ready to die if someone tells them they are on a secret mission to help daddy?

    The wannabe assassin was neutralized. It’s way easier to stop someone by shooting them than by means of persuasion. If you want to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole, then gunmen are always killed, dead men don’t answer questions.

    yes, some in crowd may have been injured, but when has trump shown any hesitation to have pale injured or killed for his personal benefit (January 6th, church protests, etc).

    Real people were actually killed here. Innocent bystanders. I think these people deserve that we be critical with our conspiracy theories. Trump would definitely not be above hurting his supporters if it would give him an advantage. He’s already hurting supporters financially.

    his secret service were proven corrupt and involved in cover up measures for trump before (e.g. Deliberately erasing text messages relevant to January 6th)

    Corrupt? Sure, but corrupt in what way? Some may just have been trying to cover their own asses.

    this all happens as project 2025 narrative was taking form hold, leaked video/audio by the day and days before the RNC.

    Part of me wants to follow you, part of me wants to say “Trump had some weirdo shoot at the audience while he cut his ear up. All to get rid of the project 2025 story”. I mean we’ve seen how Trump have diverted attention previously by doing crazy shit. But I’d caution linking the two things. The project 2025 can definitely be buried in the wake of this incident by the RNC, and the RNC most definitely will try to kill the story. But jumping from the RNC being opportunistic, to there being a conspiracy to make people forget 2025? That’s not just a small step, nor a giant leap, that’s a “flying a jetpack until it runs dry” kinda jump.
