 #Trump isn’t particularly anti-war (this is a propaganda talking point). Did you know that during his first term he dropped more bombs than under Obama?

Also, Trump is very likely a #DeepState asset like the top dems are. See how he participated in staging his alleged assassination attempt:

This staged attempt had several goals but I think one main goal was to use this event to gain the sympathy of #RFKjr and convince him to drop out of the race (Trump initiated talks with #RFK right after the alleged attempt). This was a factor in addition to the dems suing him to prevent ballot access.

 Here is a longer writing on the event providing additional context. It doesn’t include the elements shared above as I didn’t update it with it.

 I guess we shall see about the Deep state issue - I don't know, and don't care.

If Trump does not drain the swamp, he will lose most of his support - that's what's keeping it.

Fair enough on dropping bombs (what he called counter terrorisum operations). I don't agree with any of it.

Let's see if he shuts down some/most of the 800 bases in 70 countries. This Imperialism was likely needed after WW2 but is causing FAR more chaos now than ever intended.

Shut it down. It's NOT stopping world instability and is breaking the American people. 
 He was elected in 2016 to drain the swamp but he appointed it so I don’t see him doing it this time if elected. 
 he was completely unprepared to win and had zero strategy 
 If there is one power the President has, it is the one of appointing the right people. There is no excuse for consistently appointing the wrong folks other than crude incompetence (which tells you #Trump isn’t the man for the job) or corruption (letting others make the decision for you). 
 I think you under estimate the power of the politics and the current financial system.

Read Whitney Webbs book, "One Nation Under Blackmail" - it has a TON of history and connections. She's gone a little too far lately, but the book is super good - very detailed, even hard to follow, but eye opening.

Trump never stood a chance. Let's see how it goes second round.

Once elected, he appointed people that were recommended to him, and as has been well documented they kept him under control. This was proven in multiple books.

Pretty good book, "The Deep Rig: How Election Fraud Cost Donald J. Trump the White House, By a Man Who Did Not Vote for Him"

It's a solbering book on the people from inside the room and the influences Trump was under. There was a massive effort to contain Trump - which does not jive with your theories.

But again - we are BOTH speculating. We will know more in a couple years. 
 I follow Whitney Webb work although I have not read the book you mentioned. It’s true that we are both speculating when it comes to know to which degree #Trump is being controlled/coerced, but regardless of his degree of freedom in the role of President, it’s pretty clear that he’s not in control of the key decisions (whatever the reason may be) and I don’t see a reason as to why that would be any different in a second term. 

Trump already took part in two #DeepState psyops (Qanon and his staged assassination). Anyone who understands the implications of this fact would be delusional to put any hope in him. At least that’s how I see the situation. 
 Your whole post, like mine, is speculation. You state fact that Qanon and assassinations are staged. I read your stuff, it's all speculation.

It's innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent.

Let's see how it plays out. 
 The conclusions made in this post aren’t speculations: nostr:note15ysqul98jlkq5kvr6kw7wu3rwzm0sgplhssvtna6sf70q6vlms0qvmy2ya

They are based on observations and physics. If you or someone else can come with an explanation as to why the picture and the sound are inconsistent with each other, then please share it. Until then, it proves that the key evidences supporting the narrative that #Trump was shot at were falsified. 
 Yes, they are speculation.

The speed of sound in air at sea level is approximately 343 meters per second (m/s) or 768 miles per hour (mph). The speed of a typical rifle bullet, however, can range from around 600 to 1,200 m/s (1,300 to 2,700 mph).

Lag Calculation

To estimate the lag time, we can calculate the difference in distance traveled by the bullet and the sound wave during a given time interval. Let’s assume a bullet speed of 900 m/s (2,000 mph) and a sound wave speed of 343 m/s (768 mph).

For a 1-meter (3.3-foot) distance traveled by the bullet, the sound wave would lag behind by:

Δt = distance / (sound wave speed - bullet speed) = 1 m / (343 m/s - 900 m/s) ≈ 0.0035 seconds

This means that for every meter the bullet travels, the sound wave lags behind by approximately 3.5 milliseconds. As the bullet continues to travel, this lag increases proportionally.

Since we don't know the speed of the bullet, you can't even calculate when the sound passed the mic.

You are reaching - without having adequate knowledge of physics, or accurate input variables. We won't even discuss the absolutely terrible recording equipment you are using for calculating the speed of a bullet and exactly where the sound is during that bullet path. Totally dishonest.

I don't know what your agenda is, but it's not honest. Or you would have pointed all this out as potential flaws stating your theory is speculation based on lack of accurate input variables. 
 Thanks for putting the time to attempt to demonstrate that my conclusions are incorrect but you got it wrong. 

First, what you’re calculating is not what you need to calculate to prove that the inconsistency between the supersonic shockwave sound and the bullet seen in the picture is due to a delay.   

Second, the result of your equation is incorrect. 

What you should have done is to calculate the time it took #Trump right hand to go from its position in Doug Mills’ photo versus its position when the supersonic shockwave of the second bullet can be heard. I counted 6 frames between the two positions (let’s say 5 to leave a margin of error). The video being at 30 FPS/s we can calculate that it took 166.7 ms between the two positions. Considering that the speed of the sound is 343 m/s and that the bullet passed about 1 m away from Trump’s microphone we can determine that it took about 2.9 ms for the sound to reach the microphone. Hence, in order for the inconsistency to be due to a natural delay between the visual and the sound, the sound would have had to travel 57.5 times (166.7 / 2.9) slower than normal. 

So again, please debunk this, until it’s debunked, my conclusions are facts and not speculations. 
 As stated you are assuming a lot of variables in favor of your theory. Enough said. 
 I assume a lot of variables? Please state one. 
 I think you confused that the sound heard on the microphone that I referred to is the report as opposed to the supersonic shockwave.
