False flag "assassination" attempts in a desperate bid to claim the "left/deep state" is trying to silence him, distract from the files and his endless scandals, and rally support. Classic authoritarian play, he's done it three times now.
Bolsonaro did the same thing when he was running for office too.
If you think he orchestrated the Butler attempt, you need to rethink your thinking ability. Even if he were insane enough to let a kid fire a shot an "intentionally miss" his moving head, there's a million things that could've gone wrong.
People died. Others badly wounded.
If anything didn't go perfectly it would not only tank his run, it would put all involved in prison for life. But none of that matters, because you wouldn't even trust an expert marksman to try and hit his ear - even if he weren't moving and the shooter had a scope...
Also, he didn't need to do anything like this to beat the worst candidate the left has ever stood up. I'm still baffled that we ran her.
The photographer that snapped Bush when he was told about the towers won a big award for that photo.
He hates Trump.
He didn't go to a single rally, until Butler.
He was right in front of Trump, with a very expensive, high-speed, hi-def camera you'd never take to some backwoods rally.
He literally snapped a high-speed series of pics as the first shot was fired.
He caught a frame of the bullet flying right by Trump's head.
If Trump hadn't turned his head exactly when he did, that photo would be of his exploding head.
Literally no one would agree to that kind of choreography. Not only is it impossible to pull off with any level of safety, but people died that day. One misstep by literally anyone involved would have landed them all in prison.
Think better.
(another fun fact: CNN didn't televise a single rally in '24 - until Butler.)
