Steve Witkoff said the Russian leader had an artist paint a portrait of Trump and gave it to the American president as a gift. Witkoff called Putin “super smart” and not “a bad guy.”

      More like a dollar store kazoo. Anyone can do it-- he’s so fucking dumb you just have to tell him he’s the bestest and smartest boy ever, and maybe tell him his hands are big, and he’ll give you anything you want.

    I’m sure he did. Who else but Trump as President of the US Russia Oblast?

    If Trump died it’d have been a huge wrench in the decades-spanning Russian plans for slow destabilization of the west.

      You’re exactly right with that second part. The Cold War never ended, it just got colder. We severely underestimated the deviousness of Russian leadership. They 100% started playing the long game once they realized they lost the short game in 1991.

      Yes, John 8:44 is very fitting:

      You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father 's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

    Faked assassination attempt.
    If it were real, he’d still be talking about it.

      Matthew Crooks.

      People in the crowd died. There’s pictures of Crooks’s head split open from rifle fire. It wasn’t fake. Just because it was very, very convenient for Trump doesn’t mean it was fake.

        My bad: Should have said “Staged”, not fake.
        Crooks is conveniently dead. Trump’s ear healed in days (literally impossible), Secret Service held him up for display, etc.

          This is just dumb conspiracy theory shit.

          Bullet trajectory showed Trump would be dead if he didn’t turn his head last minute. That slight turn allowed the bullet only to glance his ear. That same bullet then hit some in the crowd behind him. He then fliched a bit, and the other shots that were still aimed at the initial first spot all missed and hit the crowd behind him.

          There is such a slim chance that was all planned. Trump was directly in line of fire and could have easily been killed if this was just a stunt. They’d never risk that.

          Don’t spread shit rumors in a time when there is plenty of real shit in front of your eyes to be angry about.

              Yup. Trump learned blading from wrestling. Crooks aimed and shot at the audience, gets killed as well. Trump cuts his own ear.

            trump’s SS recruited Crooks to “help out” with their security detail, then when trump gave the cue for everyone to look to the right, trump’s SS simultaneously murdered Crooks while another SS on the watertower behind Crooks shot into the crowd, killing Comperatore. Nobody fired at trump. This is unequivocally what really happened.

                One of the weirdest thing about the last 20 years or so has been how unfounded conspiracy theories and wild-ass guesses and feels get stated as fac, and people stop realizing there’s a difference. Which lead to really sloppy thinking (including Trump’s rise)

                  What about my narrative concerning what really happened at Butler PA sounds like a “wild-ass guess” to you? Nothing “unfounded” about what really happened at Butler PA. trump’s SS staged a fake assassination and murdered Crooks and Comperatore.

                Okay. Why do you not believe the narrative I’ve shared, and what do you believe happened instead? (And third, why do you believe you know better than myself?)

                  I believe in facts, not assumed narratives.

                  I shared above how things played out.

                  Until any facts come out about SS or other groups plots to conspire to fake an attempt on Trump, I will believe that this person acted by themselves and actually tried to kill Trump for their own reasons. And failed, killing others on accident, and getting himself killed in the process.

                  Crazy to assume otherwise.

                Because my narrative actually makes sense and adds up, unlike the “official” absence of a narrative.

      I can’t think of Reagan’s shooter’s name, either. That isn’t proof it was staged.
