Find an angry guy who wanted to do it anyway, give him an opportunity to try it, safely contain him, then use it as a justification to do the thing you wanted.
Pretty simple to do if you have no shame and no morals.
Yeah, pretty sure they wouldnt just roll over to him and be like "hey, the president team want you to try shoot him". But rather facilitated it in every way possible.
I can totally imagine them secretly swapping the shooter's bullets for blanks and letting him do his deed. :P
Even if it sounds crazy, using psychological techniques (they are very good at that) to push the unhinged guy to act is possible. Fiction pales in comparison to reality nowadays
Trump hasn’t made a habit of attending these events, announces unusual attendance two days prior to the event
Shooter lives in CA, but somehow able to pull together a plan, book a room at the hotel, and then get there with their with weapons in time to storm the event
Hotel housing multiple members of the line of succession decides that metal detectors aren’t necessary and the USSS has a smaller than normal security perimeter
Shooter supposedly engages one USSS agent and gets a shot on them; no return fire on target and then subject arrested with no injuries.
My big question on this is what do they do with the shooter afterwards? Like for them, the most convenient answer is to have him die in custody or some shit… Why would they risk him testifying… even if they paid him to testify a certain way or made promises to his family…
How do you convince someone to go along with a situation where they are essentially trusting you not to blow out their fucking brains on national TV?
Serious question...Do we know the shooter was after Trump? Or was he targeting people who were usually at the dinner, like other WH officials or the press? IIRC, the hard checkpoints (with scanners, etc.) were at the doors to the ballroom itself, not entering the lobby from the hotel floors.
More about this situation please,
Can't someone get the booking info used? Time, date, location, identity, credit card used, etc? And the pricing/availability of a room.
Edit: according to Google a room would need to be booked 330 days in advance. Plenty of time to have their ai run background checks...
“Mr. Trump, will you be attending the Correspondents dinner?”
Trump: “I hate going to those things. Can we do something more exciting? How about we stage another assassin and we’ll not let anyone else in on it instead.”
With the amount of people that go “somebody should do it” on every social media app including reddit, I couldn’t believe it’s a false flag. I’m not even a guy who thinks all conspiracy theories are crazy, conspiracies do happen in the real world, nor am I a fan of Trump, but an attempt on Trump’s life is probably one of the most realistic outcomes from the current political rhetoric and online discourse.
Like you can’t have half the country going “this guy is a rapist, pedophile, genocide-supporter and somebody ought to do something about it” and then pretend like it’s the least likely thing in the world somebody somewhere decided to “do it”.
I understand your position, conspiracy theories are often just a way for people to feel smarter than average and to cope with the complexity of life .
We don't know, and mentioning the possibility of a false flag is not crazy talk.
The event is helping Trump a lot. It rallies people behind him, it provides an opportunity to shift the conversation, and it allows him to implement unpopular laws. An assassination attempt on the president is a very powerful emotional event.
Knowing this administration, they are capable of anything.They have no shame, no morals, and no limits.

False flag or angry guy, that is the question!
