Suicide by cop.
While a motive for the attack hasn’t been confirmed, sources said Best is a mentally troubled individual who believed he was Jesus Christ and is known to the Secret Service and has violated a pervious court order to stay away from the White House.

Happy ending.
perhaps if the court order had been less pervy, it might have been more effective.
if he had been a conservative and the president had been a Democrat, he would of still been in jail. But because the rules are different for liberals and laws are not enforced for them, he was walking free.
He ain’t the ‘best’ no mo’.
I love a Happy Ending.
Now the MSM will be comparing Trump to Pilate.
Believed he was Jesus?
Well, now he knows he ain’t......Meeting face to face........
Two men say they’re “Jesus”, one of ‘em must be wrong.
If he identified as Jesus Christ, who are we to disagree? The left constantly tells us that we are what we identify as, not what we really are.
This one is on Hakeem Jeffries
