Another would-be assassin caught trying to scope out the former president. The Secret Service should put in for bonus pay.
The guy they arrested voted for Trump in 2016, but was disgruntled about his handling of the Iran deal and possibly other things.
he blamed himself for helping to elect a “brainlesss” president and invited Iran “to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal”.
He supported Tulsi Gabbard, probably voted for Biden in 2020 as a “Not Trump” candidate, and wanted Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy on the Republican ticket instead of Trump.
Seems like this guy was a ticking time bomb in general.
If we’re calling this an assassination attempt, considering he never got a shot off. Not even sure there were bullets in the gun, actually - then, this is an assassination attempt, right?
I haven’t followed it the last couple days…I guess it was a real thing and this guy a hard core leftist that’s been around the block?
But even more so than my initial reaction to the Butler, PA thing…My first reaction to friends’ texts was “This shit has to be fake”…How in the fuck does a would-be assassin get on Trump’s golf course in the first place? I figured staged, haven’t followed though…football season.
A hardcore leftist that voted for Trump in 2016 and supported Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy? From what I gather, he turned against Trump, went for Gabbard in 2020 and then Vivek and then Haley in 2024. How exactly is that a hardcore leftist? He contributed $140 to ActBlue I think.
I think he went to the place where the press gather being that Trump golfs every weekend like clockwork, apparently. Not sure how he waited there for 12 hours, though. Seems like a crazy lifelong criminal wackjob. Not entirely filled in though
OK I remember seeing the Gabbard and Rmaswamy thing, but I thought I saw recently a lot of pics taking with some dems…And I did say the ActBlue thing So yea maybe hardcore “never Trumper” would have been better choice of words.
People have to feel like they are part of something…Mind boggling
My impression is that he was a Trump supporter, but that he cares about foreign policy much more than the average American. And since Trump is a domestic-focused populist, this guy’s opinion is that Trump totally shit the bed in foreign policy, specifically the Iran deal, and he believes Trump is a threat to American national security.
