    Okay, this one screams “Absolute Bullshit” unless they have someone in custody. The campaign released this statement without anyone knowing anything or hearing about it first, like someone trying to get some attention. It sure seems like an opportune time to try and fake this shit. Trump Slump hit after the debate because he’s just a gigantic jackass, and they want to dredge up the sentiment from the original shooting and curry favor with voters, but let’s wait and see I guess.

    Edit: Welp, turns out they have someone in custody.

      Trump popped a juicy fart and blamed it on Democrat assassins

      On a day when JD Vance effectively admitted to another fabrication, as well.

      This not only screams BS but makes me question other similar events which seemed to have perfect timing and a nice photo op.

      You don’t think there can be an irresponsible gun owner in Florida?

      Worth noting the person in custody did not fire any shots. The shots were fired by the Secret Service.

      It’s admittedly a touch tin foil hatty, but I wouldn’t be completely shocked if this ends up being some elaborate hoax to distract from the Roberts SCOTUS memo leak. “Smoke screen the crazy with more crazy” was one of the Trump admin’s go-to strategies, after all.
