That picture was taken by a photographer on the ground below the stage pointing up.

Oh, I know what it is supposed to be, but why is President Trump shown at a ground level, then?

“ I think it was a masterful piece of pre-rehearsed political theater, culminating in that picture of Trump with his fist in the air.”

4-5 of the Secret Service officers were women; none of whom looked like they had a clue as to what to do. One was fumbling around to remove and then holster her handgun.

Instead, the media will focus on the assassination attempt because that will get their focus off Bidens incompetence and dementia.

He's not at ground level. The camera is tightly zoomed in on him.

You're not looking at the podium sign head-on, you're looking it in an upward perspective. If you were looking at it head-on, you would see more of President Trump's lower torso. From this perspective, you see Trump chest-high.

This is what a head-on photo would look like:

There was one guy at the presser yesterday says the perp was outside the perimiter????

Outside the perimeter? That perimeter is is anything within eyesight of The President and a bit beyond.

How in the Ho Lee Phuk is that possible?

I’ve been to Trump rallies and snipers are everywhere, including in the hills surrounding.

Security is actually visible for miles before you even get to a rally venue.

I felt safe, as well, unconcerned for The President’s safety

Moreover, there was a helicopter circling the event

So… a guy just decides to show up at a rally and take a potshot at PDJT… and he looks around for a spot that wasn’t covered by USSS and… well whadaya know! He’s in luck. A handy barn roof with no-one on it. And his rifle happens to be sighted in for the distance to the stage.

Now, let’s just see if he can get up there with a rifle without being spotted. Well whaddaya know! Another lucky break! Wait… he was spotted and pointed out to security, Well whaddaya know! Three times lucky! Security blew it off.

Oops. His luck ran out. He was shot deader’n a doornail. Tsk, tsk. Too bad. Can’t question him now.

Gonna be lots of stuff out there

Fact is “it should have never happened “

That it did is inexplicable and no answer will be acceptable

Snipers have an Area of Operation

In that AO are Squares that they are responsible for scanning hostiles and intelligence

Each Square also has math notes for distance, elevation, declination, etc

This was not a slipup

Whoever they got the order from needs to be tried for murder, not attempted—someone did die, just not the intended target.

We need a list of actors and their locations.

The people and the flags behind President Rump towered high above him. Not an iota shows even on the very bottom of the whiz shot. We would have to be looking at his chin and under the visor of his cap to get enough of an angle for nothing to show behind him.

It isn’t all that important, FTR. Just odd. I see so many thoroughbreds at the track pictured from a lower level and it is very clear.

We’ll have to agree to disagree.

It’s almost as if they purposely let it happen.

Since I am always ready to believe the worst about the government, they probably DID let it happen. Maybe those witnesses, will end up dead soon. They need to watch their backs.

Same.
Been pretty pessimistic about the honesty integrity and honor of our government for awhile.
The number of people who get offended by that kind of statement is shocking, they haven’t been paying attention.

This week, Congress needs to un-fund 100% of DHS and SS.

Let Trump hire his own security detail for the family, and have Congress pay THEM. I recommend Erik Prince’s group, Bongino, Kerik, etc.

Ask Steve Scalise. He was the only one harmed that day, and that’s a miracle. The shooter was intending to kill all the GOP inside that fence — fish in a barrel. Scalise never will fully recover from that assassination attempt.

It is almost like it was supposed to happen.

It looks to me like the whole thing went according to plan except that the shooter shot his ear off instead of his head.

It’s a lie because it puts us in the state of mind that the cabal wants us to be in.

They want us to feel defeated.

The idiots are the ones who don’t see they’ve bought into the defeatist attitude fed to them by the cabal.

It was on one of the Freeper threads the first day they identified the shooter.
