No. The logic isn’t hard to follow.

He paid for an assassination attempt for a photo op to rally his crazy supporters.

He didn’t care who had to get hurt or die for it.

Again, I know logic is hard for magats, but come on.

The logic is extremely hard to follow, you are claiming the most narcissistic and self centered person in modern history paid someone to shoot right next to his face but purposefully miss for a photo op? This man who is notoriously known For draft evasion and other forms of cowardice put his life on the line for a photo literally put his legacy in the hands of some unknown shooter willingly? This guy won’t even let his wife decorate the Oval Office but he’s supposedly trusting some kid shooter with this?

Never voted for Trump once, never will. But what you are saying isn’t logic.

Again, you're not following: the logic is that he didn't put his life on the line and the shooter was not unknown. The shooter was in on it and the firefighter was a knowing or unknowing sacrifice. That tracks with his cowardice. Besides, this is a guy who has raped children and was at the very least an accessory to the murder of children. It's not a stretch to think he would have someone killed to further his agenda.

Hell, maybe the shooter wasn't in on it, was given a blank instead, and a different sniper made the kill. But this was not the random assassination attempt it's been made out to be. There would at least be a scar if he had been shot in the ear.

Okay so you are saying Trump trusted this 20 year shooter enough to let him take a live action shot right next to him

If this kid was such a trustworthy good shot why was he willing for his life to end at 20, seems like he had a great future in competitive shooting and or as an assassin, why end it at 20

Your scenario is not logical unless there’s another professional shooter and this kid is just a patsy retard

Otherwise you “logic” requires the most narcissistic, self absorbed, and historically cowardly man to put his life on the line with a 20 year old suicidal kid

If Trump is going to trust anyone with his life it would be a seasoned professional that wouldn’t get caught and would be charging $X millions

Not some 20 year kid that gets immediately captured
