    The brain drain in every department is obvious. How does a building with several of US’s move powerful “leaders” get breached this easily. I see only two ways this happens. One: it was staged in some way. Two: incompetent people have taken hold so deeply something stupid like a door was left open and unguarded.

      Which means if not staged then Trump and his administration should fear for their lives every minute. Because if real then a well planned assassination attempt with someone or (government) could accomplish it. Think if your part of foreign government allies and especially our enemies just how fucking dumb this makes us look.

      I still with staged or allowed to happen. No way a true assassin could have done this. Our government tracks everything we do and say. How would you plan something like this without research on the internet? We will find out he had this all planned and made mention of it if not once but multiple times on one of his socials. Yet he was still able to get this close.

      Why I call bullshit with all these so call assassination attempts.

      If it were staged why would they leave him alive? Incompetence is the easiest and simplest answer.

        Tinfoil hat answer: The fact that he is alive and did not even catch a bullet shows that it was staged. You want to tell me a guy with a shotgun runs towards American police officers and nobody even shoots him? Sounds fake. They must have had orders to not actually shoot him, stage a small gunfight and then just arrest him. The guy probably got a good paycheck for his upcoming prison time.

          American police are only good at shooting unarmed people. When faced with an actual real threat, they’re cowards.

                Too scared to shoot, but brave enough to tackle a man with a shotgun.

          The DC, capitol, and federal police are generally better trained, and they’re unlikely to start shooting at a sprinting target when there’s a bunch of bystanders beyond him. All it takes is one guy to clothesline him.

          the first time was totally staged, why not the 3rd time. of course its to shore up his low support, plus how badly the iran war is going on and hte epstein files, his distractions are only getting more desperate.
