If that’s true, then who fired at Trump?

Per the article, he couldn’t even qualify for his HS rifle team...he was such a bad aim.

Come on man!! They gave him 9 minutes to get himself set up on the roof before Trump started speaking.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old WHITE MALE who shot Donald Trump, registered Republican with an AR-style rifle.
Too many check boxes.
They forgot the red F-250 with MAGA stickers and NRA stickers on it.

If that’s true, then who fired at Trump? A bad shooter ...
IMO, the shooter, whoever he is or was, is or was a total hack. No good at all. A mediocre shooter can get a solid hit on a deer-sized target at 130 yards.

Only a few mm off to the left.
The Meritless Garland almost had hid problem solved.

But if Trump hadn’t turned his head right at that moment, the first bullet would have been an absolute kill shot?
To: 9YearLurker
Like I’ve been saying: 130 yards is not a long shot with a rifle. He doesn’t have to be very good.
We got lucky.

"Crooks was a dietary aide at Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center - where he provided food and care for post-hospital elderly and sick people."
Bet this went over big at the Center.

Whatever the case, he’s picking daisies in hell’s garden now.

Dude had a Full size (9 mpg) Van with Arizona plates, and it was filled with Explosives, and the FBi wants you to know - they can’t get into his phone.
Things aren’t adding up. No matter how hard people work to make them fit.

And other people say they would never have imagined him doing anything like this.

He really didn’t miss the shot. Trump was technically hit, and it was Trump’s movement that saved his life.
Now, tell me people shouting - there he is, there he is, he’s got a gun, with Snipers trained on you and a moving target isn’t hard to do.
He even displayed focus and patience by not shooting the people pointing him out repeatedly.
