 I’m not sure the shot was rushed. At least, I have not seen any indication that it was. Maybe this is the event they needed to confuse those who suspect #Trump to be a #DeepState asset (even among his former loyal supporters). There are many elements to suggest that Trump is part of the deep state whether it is the lawsuit against him and #Epstein for rape of an underage girl, his involvement in the #Qanon psyop, the media coverage he benefited from during his first run or his connections to other deep state actors and so on. This event certainly throws a wrench in this narrative. Unfortunately, I’m afraid we’ll never be able to have 100% certainty on which scenario is at play here. To me it all comes to whether or not a bullet actually hits him and it’s going to be impossible to have any clarity on this element.
