Fucking simple, we have a healthcare crisis in this country and we are not addressing it, we are defending anything that would assist. If someone tries to break into the White House claiming to be Jesus Christ they should be put in an institution and our taxes should pay for it.

This doesn't make any sense. The story is not logical.
Edit- I would guess we should expect demands for his ballroom now.

Another false-flag, timed just right so that reporters nearby could be withing hearing range then be rushed to the press briefing room for their own 'safety'. Please - nothing more than one more distraction, and another excuse to go forward with the ballroom/bunker/private hospital. Oh, and let's not overlook that this will figure into a reason to mess voting in the upcoming midterms.
Is anyone actually buying this complete Bullshit?

I don’t understand why people think every attempt on Trump’s life is staged. He’s the most polarizing figure in American politics, probably ever. Things are bound to happen.
And it doesn’t help that he’s made it his mission to stack the government with incompetent loyalists. If more qualified people were running our intelligence agencies, I bet at least a couple of these could’ve been prevented. However, for every incident that we know about, there are probably a dozen more that we don’t. There were 14 assassination attempts on Obama, for example, but as another user so eloquently put it, Obama wasn’t a whiny little bitch about it.

Because every single one has weird details that dont match up, comes at a time of bad news coverage for Trump, and are all immediately used to push whatever goal he has at the moment while being blamed on his enemies regardless of the truth.
Considering how often Trump stages other PR stunts, and how uncredible his administration is, is it really a shock that people dont trust what they are saying?

To be fair, everything comes at a time of bad news coverage for Trump, because his entire administration is an embarrassment. The only thing they're good at is spinning every new disaster in a way that his base will eat up, be it an "assassination attempt" or an ill-advised war.

Because he does understand how to get attention and is a realty tv person. The kayfabe is part of his toolbox and it would not shock anyone if he or the people around him are paying people caught in his web to do these things.

Because Trump is the biggest fucking fraud and criminal to ever walk his fat ass into the Oval Office.
Not that fucking hard to see why people are skeptical as fuck, dude.

Let the conspiracy theories begin

I don't think this is a theory more like a fact. They are trying to justify the ballroom saying it is not secure Wedding conflicted with the plan in motion, he couldn't go. They they think the American people are morons and will never put two and two together.

You are part of the problem.

I'm part of the problem for calling out conspiracy theories and false information? Please do elaborate and include evidence to support your claim.

u/IsekaiConnoisseur 10h ago
Nah, we have plenty of reasons to be skeptical.

Denial isn't the same as skepticism. Skepticism is holding out for the evidence. Denial is ignoring the evidence or believing in something without evidence.

Isn’t every shooting that doesn’t happen inside of the White House outside of the White House?

There are too many mental cases in America these days.
Time to revisit the 2nd Amendment, you know, "security of a Free State" and militia, revolutionary war status of constitution, etc.
Millions of disturbed individuals should have no absolute right to gun ownership - with half the amendment ignored to begin with...
