So this makes it I’d say 50/50 IMO that either the motive was a personal grudge against some misfortune he blames Trump specifically for a la the assassination of Shinzo Abe, or that he was a gun nut who didn’t want to surrender his Common Law AR-15 nor his Common Law stash of cocaine laced LSD at a security checkpoint, and went up on the roof to watch the show until he finished off the entire stash in one go and the demons told him that there was someone charging his position through the stage or something.
I’m almost more inclined to believe the second one because the first shot that actually caused the ear bleeding is now rumored to not have actually hit Trump but instead the Teleprompter which sprayed glass Shrapnel at the felon in chief which is what actually cut his ear.
This would imply that the first shot which he’d have the most opportunity to laze the shot for was not actually aimed directly at Trump as much as in the same direction as he happened to be in relative to the shooter. Unless the teleprompter was a lot closer to Trump at this particular rally than they usually are to the stage during most rallies on either side of the aisle.
My favorite conspiracy theory is that the shooter wasn’t trying to get Trump at all. They were trying to kill a member of the secret service and got Trump instead.
He was registered Republican, young, and so likely part of Republican family. He felt like giving to Democrats in 2021 (odd year for a political donation). So I’m imagining a close family member who was all in on Trump and anti mask and anti vaccine dying from COVID-19. In the short term he tossed a little money at Democrats as some sort of small token retribution.
As to why he’d miss, he’s likely barely got experience and hitting a target from a distance is hard.
Could also be a self appointed (or not) agent provocateur, who thought that a near miss would make trump a hero and his supporters even more fired up (in reality they didn’t need a push - the cult members already twist anything he does or is done to him to make him a hero), and martyred himself for “the cause” (E: or believed whoever hired him that he would be spared). I really wouldn’t put that past the average trump supporter.
Yes I have a friend who lives in Pennsylvania who registered as a republican for exactly this reason, no competitive dem primary this year so they figured they would vote against Trump. They’re a closed primary state. I wouldn’t jump to conclusions about anything yet.
Because i was going to do that if it wasn’t super important to make sure that Joe Biden did not get the Democratic nomination, that’s why. And for your info, if he has successfully assassinated trump, i would have thought of him as a national hero

Suppose I’ll vote on the grudge.

Or he was a democrat who registered republican so that he could try to vote someone else in the primary.
This is a real thing that people do.

I don’t think what Wraithgear is suggesting is so far out of the realm of possibility that it deserved the ‘genius theory’ derision.

“Cocaine-laced LSD” brother at least come up with plausible drug-lacing combinations, you really sound like you have no idea what drugs are or do.
You do realize that “drug bad all bad everyone who drug bad unga bunga” was one of the methods they used to get us to where we are today right?
It was a joke
I’m positive it was meant as hyperbole.
