Two days before the Republican National Convention, or, the 4 day genuflection festival, in Milwaukee, former president Donald Trump was speaking in Pennsylvania when a lone gunman took a shot at Trump from a nearby rooftop.
Trump was shot behind an ear. He felt around the area, found blood, then took a knee down to the ground as he was covered by the Secret Service, which then shot and killed the suspected shooter, 20 year old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel, PA.
The attempted assassination of a former president was denounced across the board, by both Republicans and Democrats alike, as well as world leaders. The Secret Service subsequently released the following statement.
The FBI & Secret Service are working with local law enforcement in Pennsylvania to determine a motive for Crooks' attack.
Granted, Trump is not the most popular guy in the world, despite what his supporters will tell you to the contrary, and one can assume for now that Crooks might've been a college student, disgruntled with all the rhetoric coming from Trump in particular, and decided to do something. This will be a topic of discussion over the next few days, if not also weeks. I've a suspicion that someone even more unhinged will come along and take a shot at President Biden in retaliation. Let's hope not.

Poor Trump
Some will say it's karma because of his rhetoric over the years. The shooter was killed without anyone finding out exactly what his motives were. We're hearing the usual. He was quiet, shy, was bullied in school, etc.. If they were better prepared, he'd be in custody....
Since you hear the usual, it may be fake. Miles Mathis might even come out and say that this week:

The blood pouring from Trump's ear tells us it isn't fake.

The latest is that security had been beefed up that day because of reports Trump was targeted by Iran. However, they didn't account for a lone registered Republican whose motives, four days later, remain unknown.
