If this was indeed the shooter, his location was about 400 feet away from the stage.
I mean, isn't the Secret Service supposed to account for these things?
If Trump were as bad as Biden and other Democrats say he is — if he were a tyrant on par with Hitler himself — then why would they be grateful to hear he's safe and doing well? Either their characterizations of Trump are false or their sympathy is. https://t.co/WlR1WABtG2

This is an apt question, both for democrat politicians and the posters on this board claiming to decry the attempted assassination.

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.…

Violence has no place in America, especially in our political process. Hillary and I are thankful that President Trump is safe, heartbroken for all those affected by the attack at today’s rally in Pennsylvania, and grateful for the swift action of the U.S. Secret Service.

A remarkable series of photos taken by @dougmillsnyt and posted on NYT, where you can see a bullet fly past Trump's head, Trump touching his right ear, and then removing his hand with blood on it: https://t.co/BlVYoEASHN pic.twitter.com/MyptVvjHaX

Plastic weapons?

Our Secret Service is Clueless.
A counter assassination attempt team should have identified the shooter well before he started firing.

No doubt.
Which is why MAGA will claim deep state.

Are you watching CNN? They are spending much of their time wondering how in the world the Secret Service allowed a shooter on that rooftop. And CNN is not alone - many people are already saying it is gross incompetence to not have the rooftop locked down.concordtom said:dajo9 said:bear2034 said:

That's notable because I predict he will totally flip and blame the Secret Service in 3…2…1…
Wait for it.
I want to repeat, and can absolutely confirm, the USSS Director Kim Cheatle has repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump. Despite knowing the threat level is catastrophic.

Shooter was about 150 yards from Trump on a rooftop with a direct line of sight to the stage.

The only part of this unfortunate incident I feel that I am competent to render a reconstruction theory on:
If you listen to the audio of when the Secret Service pulls tRump off the deck, tRump says, "My shoes! My shoes!" Until I read otherwise, I can only interpret that to mean he came out of his shoes.
It is well known that people that get hit by the force of a vehicle in a crosswalk often get knocked out of their shoes. It is counterintuitive that tRump would have generated enough speed, torque and force to come out of his shoes going from a standing position to a crouching position behind the podium.
My theory:
It is widely known that tRump wears lifts in his shoes to bolster his height claim. The shoe inserts take up half of the inside of his shoe so he can only get his foot halfway into the shoe. That being the case, it makes perfect sense that his shoes would both come off during the simple act of making a fast drop behind the podium.
It also explains why among the first words out of the mouth of a man that almost got his head blown off were, "My shoes! My shoes!" tRump had no intention of walking off that stage in front of his adoring supporters 2 to 3 inches shorter than when he walked on.
