43. My theory has evolved since Saturday night

Tue Apr 28, 2026, 01:21 AM

Tuesday

Looking at the incident in its totality, I don't think tRump knew about the gunman in advance.

First, trump's reaction has been soooo bad and so poorly thought out. He wasn't prepared. I think he was genuinely caught off guard.

Second, Cole is alive! If he were funded by the FBI or tRump's henchmen, I'm pretty sure he would have been killed. But he's alive and ticking.

Third, that manifesto. No way in hell would tRump agree to something like that being written down. And then tRump immediately took credit for being the person that Cole was referring to.

So yeah .. No.... I think it was a real, organic situation, but at this point, it doesn't really matter.

Everyone thinks it was staged. I went to an event on Sunday and nobody believed the official narrative.

Perception is reality. People are tired of tRump's shit. They're tired of all the chaos. This will hurt tRump more than it helps him.
