It’s worse. The shooter was a patsy. The SS / FBI conducted the assassination.
100%
I don’t accept the “incompetence” or “opening vulnerabilities” or “plausible deniability”. It was a government hit. And I don’t think Crooks fired the bullet that hit Trump.
Once the patsy was dead, the professional snipers lost their cover and held off (to shoot another day?).
It’s real close here wrt definitions. I certainly believe they tried to ‘engineer’ the perfect confluence of events that could possibly result in an assassination attempt, but still have plausible deniability even as thin and wisping as it has turned out to be.
There is just too much going on here to be anything otherwise.
If the pasty theory isn’t valid, and they didn’t know beforehand that he would be there so they could make him a patsy...they’d have to have Trump-level luck on their side.
They only made the place unsecured and he just turned up out of the blue? Don’t think so.
I’m not comfortable with conspiracy theories, generally, but the alternatives are so implausible. :(
