Yeah, that would have to be the case for this kid to not have been “delivered” to this exact event. The one problem with your theory is that Butler seemed to be an exception by many accounts. But maybe that’s just people’s reaction given that something happened here, that’s plausible, too. Maybe all along these events have just been inadequately secured.
We should be looking back at past rallies. Were they secured properly? Would be a good question to answer.
There was a vendor who had been to most of Trump’s rallies who said this one was very, very different. She knew immediately when she didn’t see obstacles to line-of-fire put up all over - cranes, trucks, etc - and when she didn’t see counter-snipers all over the place.
This was definitely different.
Joe’s comment to George Stephanopoulos that he wasn’t afraid of Trump winning this time because Trump would soon be “challenged” in a way he had never been challenged before seems like code now, given the short selling. Maybe people knew about the plan and that comment was assurance that it was all set.
I don’t know much about the financial world. Would the people who did the short selling end up taking losses because the assassination attempt actually failed?
