I agree that he wouldn’t be in on it. Biden might go for that but not President Trump. So the shooter was skilled but President Trump turned toward the noise and was shot in the ear vs. the head. It’s definitely amazing he wasn’t hurt and I’d love to know who all the players are, why the police & Secret Service didn’t go after the shooter when the attendee pointed him out. They obviously had him in their scope because he was killed immediately. So many incidents from the past have turned out to have much different implications than we thought and I can’t help but consider different possibilities.
I don't if I would call him "skilled" based on the complete lack of recoil control, but he clearly wasn't some Fudd who just picked up a gun for the first time last week. I do think the entire attempt was allowed and aided by SS, to the point that the flag was positioned where it was specifically to aid the shooter.
We won't get any meaningful details out of the investigation, nor does it really matter. We already know who the players are, whether direct or indirect. Fortunately, for now, we just get to be extremely grateful that Trump is alive and relatively unhurt, and that we are able to avoid breaking out into civil war, so far. As much as emotions might send some, on either side, into believing they are ready for and want war -- war is a truly TERRIBLE thing -- with rarely a net positive outcome. Right now, everyone (especially those on the right) should focus their desires entirely on peace, not war; the Heavenly Dove rather than the earthly steed.
