It is beyond my comprehension that an assassin could put himself in the position he did on a roof in direct line of fire of Trump and get off as many shots as he did before he was eliminated. The Secret Service on duty were negligent in protecting Trump until it was almost too late.

I think it due to global warming, and being deluged on social media with mattress ads that perhaps have subliminal messages in them.
I will also predict he had no serious girlfriend, did not attend church regularly, had not been a boy scout, and did not have as pet dog or cat.

It was a failure though. Anytime a protectee is hit, its a failure. My guess is the two on the building were still assessing…(they didn’t want to take out an innocent civilian if that’s what it turned out to be) and couldn’t see the weapon until it was too late.
BTW most people forget that the Secret Service mostly handles financial crimes. Only a scant few agents are on protective detail. The rest are in finance…and it did look like some agents were DEI hires brought over from that division.

Jan,
I have almost no idea of what project 2025 is, nor what–if any–involvement Trump has in that. It sounds like it is a think tank proposal from a gaggle of brainiac conservatives, and since Trump is neither a deep thinking brainiac nor a conservative, I doubt he knows much about it either.
******************************************************
You may not believe this, but a person like me can be all of these things at once:
–a good conservative,
–a person who does not think Trump is fit to be president,
–a person who does not believe Trump is the second coming of Christ
–but a person who thinks the Trump administration accomplished a lot of things that were far better than what any Dem adm. would ever try to do,
–a person who would see Trump as president again as an improvement over Biden or over ANY Democrat who would continue crazy policies.
–a person who thinks Biden and the Dems are batsh!t crazy as to what they advocate
–and a person who would much rather have just about any R POTUS candidate than Trump BECAUSE with anyone else you take AWAY all the Dem ammunition and campaign issues and half-baked charges of “Trump is evil, Trump is a moral catastrophe in his personal behavior (true), Trump uses inappropriate language and is not a good orator(true), Trump wants to destroy democracy, Trump was trying to overthrow the government on Jan. 6, Trump is a convicted felon (true), Trump’s people are gonna institute project 2025, Trump said drink Chlorox to fight COVID, etc., Trump is RICH therefore you should dislike him, etc., etc.”
BECAUSE…all the mostly false, or half-false or distorted charges against Trump makes the focus of the presidential race a personality conflict between a person with a LOT of baggage vs. a nicer looking/sounding guy who might be incompetent as president and run the country in the ditch, BUT HE AT LEAST IS NOT AS BAD AS TRUMP IN WITH ALL HIS BAGGAGE.
TRUMP AS THE R CHOICE AVOIDS THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE BEING ABOUT ISSUES!
I.S.S.U.E.S.
I WANT THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE TO NOT BE on DISTRACTING personalities and the false things and half false things that get thrown out there and twisted and blown all out of proportion, but ON ISSUES. I DO NOT WANT PEOPLE VOTING FOR THE DEM CANDIDATE MAINLY FOR THE REASON THAT THEY DO NOT LIKE THE R CANDIDATE (which IS WHY a huge CHUNK of people say they will be voting for Biden, not because they love Biden and his goofy laundry list of abject failures–but because they hate TRUMP!).
**************************************************
Trump is happy Biden is the Dem nominee.
Biden is thrilled that Trump is the Rep. nominee.
I am not thrilled that these two dimwits are their party’s choice.
***************************************************
iF WE COULD GET PEOPLE TO FOCUS ON ISSUES,
WHOEVER the R candidates would be should win in a cakewalk. Dems under Biden had LOTS OF MASSIVE FAILURES and ZERO accomplishments on ANY issue–other than government handouts (college loan forgiveness which is really just shifting the burden onto all the taxpayers), decriminalizing convictions for weed, appeasing Hamas supporters, appeasing criminals or not charging criminals for criminal activity (ALL DONE FOR POLITICAL REASONS).
–SOUTHERN BORDER, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
–INFLATION
–ENERGY ISSUES (and all the holes in the ridiculous push for ‘green’ energy)
–PROPOSING TO END THE TRUMP TAX CUTS FOR EVERYONE, RAISE TASEX ON EVERYONE
–CRIME

–GOOFY OUTCOMES OF WOKE, DEI, ETC. AND THE REVERSE RACISM PUSHED BY THE DEMS

There have been relatively few ads out, the expenditures in his early primary states were far less than DeSantis & Haley, and he didn’t have any campaign offices in the states until fairly recently. I personally didn’t like his negative verbiage on either of those candidates, even though I could understand why he was disgruntled with them.
As for the rest of your discourse, retllaw, I won’t “burn up my time” to answer it, point by point. A generalized response, though, is it appears you see Trump’s veneer as who he is, without going any deeper. You also seem invested in dem talking points as valid descriptions of him. However, there are many, many anecdotal stories and personal testimonies from employees, friends, political staff, ministers, people in the military or service industries etc, even adversaries who, after they met him or were given his time, attention or even money, have contrary impressions from your own.

–LBGTQEIEIOs

–mentally challenged
–people who grew up poor
The shooter did not fit any of those categories. and was left to wither hopelessly on the vine.
Poor soul.

Of course, hardly anyone is pointing out that the ramped up vicious rhetoric by both sides and fanned by the media played any part in this.

Another conspiracy theory:
Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) claimed that there had been repeated requests for enhanced Secret Service protection for Trump, which were allegedly denied by Secretary Mayorkas. If true, the allegation suggests a possible neglect of duty at high levels of government, raising questions about the motives and decision-making processes that potentially left a former president vulnerable to such a deadly threat.

“Walt, apparently the kid worked at a nursing home.

First I heard or read of that.
So here is a talented math student with a lot of potential working in a nursing home, which seems to not mesh. I usually don’t think of brainiac math people who like to work to with “things” like theorems and mathematical concepts doing well when interacting with and taking care of the needs and humanistically interacting with people in a nursing home.

The FBI has spent years trying to imprison Trump. Now they need to investigate someone trying to kill him. Seems like a conflict of interest.
Because of this, they should be over-communicating. Instead……

Tina, he should go to the place where TR was shot, just for the comparison. TR went on to give a lengthy speech despite having been an inch or less away from mortal wound to the heart (his glasses case slowed the bullet down, and it only pierced his flesh a little).

In a few days, we will find out that he was on the fibs radar.
Per New York Post:
The 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday was described by former classmates as a bullied loner with a penchant for hunting outfits and video games.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by the Secret Service on Saturday evening after he opened fire at the Butler Farm Show grounds, grazing Trump and killing another attendee.
Crooks – who graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022 – was a loner who was “relentlessly” bullied, former classmate Jason Kohler told KDKA.
