    There are three theories

    1. Trump had people hire him to pretend to assassinate him, and he went along with it thinking it’d boost Trump’s ratings (Kinda dumb and conspiratorial)

    2. He wasn’t aiming for Trump, but someone in the crowd, and Trump was hit by mistake (Given that he doesn’t aim for center of mass, this makes sense)

    3. He wanted to kill Trump, fearing he wasn’t Right Leaning enough (There are already people bashing Vance not for being racist, but for not being racist enough)

    Also wasn’t the payment to the Biden campaign found to actually be someone else with a similar name?

      The donation was to ActBlue not Biden and the FEC filing was his name at the house he lived at. It’s unlikely it was someone else unless he was named for his grandpa or something and he lived with them

      You can view the FEC filings yourself by going to the FEC website and search his name and zip code in the individual contribution search.

      Ah, I didn’t consider the other side of the spectrum that maybe Trump isn’t fascist enough for him.

      Another theory is that he might have thought it would accelerate the right leaning movement by killing or wounding Trump. It is also possible he liked the movement but not Trump.

      Theories 1 and 2 don’t make any sense. Trump has too much of an ego for 1 and 2 would be weird. If you aren’t going after Trump, anyone else would be easier to shoot when not next to Trump.
