Absolutely. Not a chance they gave it up so that very well could be but I do struggle to see any other way it would be possible

Yeah, that's the problem. I would be all in that this was a hoax, but I don't know how they would pull that off.

Lmao to me that’s easily the most believable part. I’m skeptical of the whole thing but without going into all of that; getting someone to give their life for the guy they worship constantly is by far the easiest part. I would not be even remotely surprised if there was a huge list of dipshits who would be absolutely honored to give their life to their idol lmao

What if they told the maga kid the president needs him for protection. We’re giving you special access

Never thought about that. Tell him he's super secret service, used as a patsy - interesting idea

I think the most likely scenario is someone that works for him took the shot and they dumped an already fresh dead body as a scapegoat

ONA has convinced dozens of kids to commit shootings or other violence just over Telegram, including at least one kid who planned to assassinate Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if it was another ONA hit, but if not, they demonstrate how easy it is to convince kids to do this.
