    I honestly wonder if they actually think they’re fooling anyone. It’s so blatantly obvious none of these “assassins” is even trying. Especially the Ear Incident that lasted all of 3 days. That one was so easy I could have made that shot with iron sights. In the dark.

      So you actually believe that trump would agree to a plan where he could easily be accidentally killed, when the upside is barely anything in it for him? Then after he was almost killed doing it once, he agreed to it again? Like how is this idea gaining even the slightest bit of traction? Qanon was not dumber than this at all. This is mind boggling.

        I don’t think Trump’s agreeing to any of this and in the event the does get taken out, they’ll just martyr him.

          Ok even in the context of that conspiracy theory there is basically all risk and next to no reward. I cannot believe I have to explain that.

            You’ve just described every action this administration has done. What reward have they gotten from their war with Iran? From defunding America’s science institutes? From ICE?

            Do I really believe this was staged? I’m not sure I believe anything anymore other than these people being complete shits. Peter Theil absolutely has plans if Trump dies in office. It’s just a matter of risk assessment from his perspective.
