Why did you change the headline of this article?


“”Authorities hunt for clues, but motive of man who tried to assassinate Donald Trump remains elusive”””

Maybe he was a lone wolf. Maybe someone put him up to it. We may never know for sure.

He may have expected to be successful and that he would be seen as a hero by millions of people. Whether he calculated his chances of surviving, who knows?

The Democrats today have to say they are glad Trump survived, but how many are saying to themselves, too bad Crooks failed. Bennie Thompson felt obliged to fire his staffer who openly wished that Trump had been killed. (She'll probably get a job with the Southern Poverty Law Center.) But he was spearheading an attempt to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection--he must have been hoping for Trump to be killed.

The FIBs are saying that there was bomb making materials at the home. He had a homer bucket from home depot and a dremel. The FIBs are liars.

This guy was socially awkward and introverted to the point of having Zero friends. The best the media can do is find a “classmate” who saw him in the hallways.
This is the only way I can rationalize nobody coming forward yet with stories on his political views.
I believe his social media has been scrubbed,deleted, memory-holed.

A dead person can’t hire an attorney except as an estate.

OTOH, a dead person can certainly vote democrat in many jurisdictions. So it’s at least not all bad for them?

My son as a Marine rifleman renewed his expert badge by shooting a perfect score at 500 yards with iron sights. As far as I am concerned that should be a minimum perimeter.

graduated from Allegheny CC with a degree in engineering two months prior

he did have a buddy that sat with him on the bus and ate lunch with him, according to the underclassman interviewed. What’s his buddy’s story?

would also be interested in what his college classmates thought of him, and how a van with Arizona plates fits into the scenario, and were there any retired or ex-military at the nursing home that he had tactical conversations with?
