If the attacks are all fake, its incredibly poor false flag, because nobody feels bad for the prick except his absolutely ardent fans.

If they're real, it should prove to everyone how absolutely hated he is, because no other US president in recent memory has had two assassination attempts that were publicly reported.

Three. There was the staged rally shooter, then they caught a guy trying to get into Mar a Lago with a gun, now this one.

Four. There was also the guy with a gun at the golf course, waiting in the bush

Gerald Ford survived two attempts in the span of like two weeks. Three if you count airplane stairs

four if you count homer

I wasn't born when Ford was president, so not exactly "recent memory" for me 😂

putin did plenty of false flags to garner support, and act as a distraction it worked for him.
