More info on the attempted Assassination of Candidate Trump

Some things are not “adding up”.

The rifle that the shooter used was not an everyday, run of the mill, Walmart special. Nor was it a hunting rifle. It was a military-grade sniper rifle that is extremely expensive. It is priced at more than $12,000. Where did a 20 year old punk get that kind of money?

Okay, so I did some research beyond just a Quora post, and it seems the weapon used was an AR-15, or equivalent. Not some $13,000 weapon like some random on the internet said.

For what it's worth, I agree with you there's something fishy about the whole thing, but I think maybe it was staged as a publicity stunt. It's pretty hard to shoot somebody in the ear and not have the bullet graze or penetrate their skull. That's actually a really impressive trick shot.

@LordShadowfire And then for security to let him just stand there for so long. Everyone is talking about how cool it looked, like it was out of a movie, but this isn't how attempted assassinations actually happen. It's like they were legit trying to do a scene from a movie.

You could be right. A fancy military grade weapon seems like an unlikely match for a punk kid.

I know Trump, being an experienced TV personality is an actor on a stage performing to spectators. He is a better communicator than Ronald Reagan. This is why half the world love him and the other half hate his persona. But I don't think it was a trick shot. Who knows? 9/11 was one impressive trick shot. We make great movies.

We are a lying nation. We love lying to ourselves. We lie to the world.
