It is certainly possible that the attempt is a white hat psy-op. I have a hard time believing DJT doesn’t have his own advance security team that would assess the assigned SS on the job. Especially given the current climate and who is in charge. DJT knows they are literally after him every day in every way possible.

Side note: If it is a movie, no one was really killed and they are safe. I would never want to downplay a tragic death and that is not my intent here.

The items overlooked in Butler were way too egregious for me to believe. Just about anyone with a security background (or common sense) could look at that rooftop and ask why no one was on top of it having secured it. How could DJT and his own people let him walk into that situation? The FBI raided his home, do you think he trusts the SS? IDK? I would not. I would have people watching them closely, surely he does.

That is something of a sensitive topic for obvious reasons: who is DJT’s liaison to SS and what oversight do they provide him? Did they fail too? Did someone closer to him than SS betray him?

I don’t really know either way - just that either option is reasonably possible.

Something I haven’t really been able to resolve is that if it was staged, what is the risk of it being exposed and what would the exit strategy be if it were to get exposed? There would be obvious resentment if it ever came to light. The only thing I think that could possibly override that resentment would be disclosures so massive they would make it palatable under scrutiny, and seem harmless in comparison. I think that is possible.

It is also quite possibly a legit attempt, or even a sting of sorts (hybrid of a psy-op?) If a legit attempt, maybe a true miracle.

Scare event necessary? Shot heard round the world? Enjoy the movie? Why did Vincent show up so prominently?

Lots of questions - no real answers.
