I'm calling it now. Some attack will happen at these events. Trump will play the role of "oh no, I've been shot..." and then 2 hours later will brag that he's the healthiest guy the doctors ever saw.
Anybody ever see the movie Groundhog Day?
........no reason.
It is quite on the nose that they plan/hope to execute another "attack" at one of his events, be it the birthday bash or the 250 celebration.
There is no other solid reason to have these events outdoors.
They need to keep the pressure on his safety so they get to build more surveillance bunkers etc. and another miraculous recovery comes in handy to whip his followers into more of a righteous frenzy.
All to keep him locked in for a 3rd term.
Perhaps he'll lose a toe this time? Shot in the butt?
Trump actually cant book indoor event spaces anymore. They've stuffed so many for his campaigns, they aren't interested in getting stiffed again. Thats how the butler pa event ended up outside.
Sooner or later one of these fake assassins is going to accidentally hit him.
Went to an MMA tournament and a fight broke out
Was it in the arena? I think thats supposed to happen. /s
