Controversy? Hell Yes; I Doubt the Shooter was Aiming at Trump

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Forgive me, this will be a repeat of a previous story. However, I noticed that I wasn’t the only one who had questions. I know for a fact that no one can believe anything Trump says, and no one can blame me for demanding answers about what the mainstream media is calling “an attempted assassination.”

MY QUESTIONS

The information we received about the shooter is that he purchased the rifle some time before last Saturday. He practiced at a shooting range. If this is truthful information, How is it possible that if Trump was the target, he missed a nearly 300-pound man who is six-feet-three-inches tall?

If it was a bullet which grazed his ear, why no reaction? When a fly comes near the side of my face I move my head away from the irritation. Instead, Trump moved his hand up to his ear and dropped behind the podium.

Could the blood have come from an old trick used by professional wrestlers? When blood is called for, a wrestler will hold a small razor blade between his first two fingers and when he receives a strike to his head or face, he will reach towards the “injury” and cut himself.

About the mystery bullet. If a bullet did graze Trump’s ear, where did it go? There was a wall of people behind him. Someone should have been struck by the projectile.

Questions without answers. Was this real, or was it another photo op like in 2020? You might remember when on June 1^st Trump organized a march to St. John’s Church so he could hold up an upside-down Bible and have his picture taken. On the way, his military escort fired rubber bullets at a crowd of peaceful protesters and exploded teargas cannisters to disperse real Americans exercising their First Amendment rights in Lafayette Park. It is no secret that Trump will do anything to get his old, ugly face on television or in the print media.

Trump is a bully; all bullies are cowards. Trump has never been anything like a hero. He refused to serve in Vietnam. Daddy purchased deferments from a doctor friend. On January 6 he told his Neo-Nazi supporters that he would be with them at the Capitol, and then walked into the safety of the White House. The label of “draft dodger” fits him better than “assassination target.”

WHO WOULD WANT TO HARM TRUMP?

My wife asked me a question after the “shooting.” Why is it only the good people who are killed by an assassin?”

In our lifetime we remember President John Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King jr., and a man who would likely have been our president, Robert Kennedy. All three were great men who loved the people of our country.

Of course Trump tells us what a great person he is constantly. He has never done anything wrong, just ask him. All of the bad things he is accused of are false; he told us so. His 34 felony convictions were rigged. Accusations of sexual assault are all lies. What I watched for three hours on January 6, 2021 was just a peaceful protest. Trump had a right to take secret documents from the White House. Presidents are immune from all criminal charges; just ask six members of the Supreme Court.

And one last thing. The 2020 election was fraudulent. I don’t have any proof, nor does anyone else, but if Donny Boy says it’s true, it’s true.

What a country.
