More fake news?
Donald Trump was playing golf in Florida the other day when there was another “assassination attempt.”
I truly hate to have to say this, but I don’t believe it. It’s just too difficult to comprehend that in a week where Trump’s campaign imploded in his debate with Kamala Harris, he wouldn’t use something like this to change the topic.
Consider this:
While the FBI was quick to call it an assassination attempt, nothing actually happened. No shots were fired at Trump. The only shots that were actually fired by anyone except the Secret Service after they saw a gun barrel poking through a fence in the general direction of Trump.
The Secret Service shot at the man, who abandoned his weapon and ran away. He was captured without injury to himself or anyone else.
So how is it an assassination attempt if no shots were fired?
If there was an attempt here, it may have been an attempt to get people to stop talking about this:
Or maybe this:
Instead, Trump is blathering on and on about how the Democrats are trying to keep him out of the White House by killing him. It’s not true, but I wonder how sympathetic Mike Pence would be.
I suppose if the electronic media was going to be honest — and why start now — what might be more accurate to describe the situation would be to say the Secret Service prevented someone from attempting to assassinate Trump.
I still think there’s at least a 50-50 chance that what happened in Butler, Pa., was staged. If you expect me to believe a rifle bullet could hit Trump’s ear and two weeks later he not only wasn’t wearing a bandage but he is also showing no signs he was ever injured.
Why would he lie?
If you have to ask that question, you haven’t been paying attention.
