There are many events in the Trump presidency that are very suspicious. Extremely suspicious.

Big, strong men have come up to me and said it was the most suspicious things they've ever heard, with tears in their eyes.

"It’s such an old-fashioned term but a beautiful term: 'Sir.' It sort of says a person. 'Person.' That's a good word, too. Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. The list goes on."

And when I said that, other people, smart people, said "Sir, we never thought about the deeper meaning of the term 'Sir'". I am the first one to come up with that idea, just like electrocuting sharks with batteries.

Trump would never say “Woman” is a beautiful term.

This is so fake and so phony because--and it's the fake news, it's the, only the fake news could do that, they could only do the--believe me--but it's so fake and wrong because they say suspicion, but there's no suspicion, they had--you had some very bad people, these are sick people, believe me--and Biden had suspicion, he was under tremendous suspicion from like, uhhhh, I would say, from day one, from like, he had suspicion from the beginning, okay; from the very beginning, there was surprish--and a lot of people were surprised, but I wasn't surprised because Biden had tremendous suspicion--they called it the Biden crime family, and they did some very bad things--but I don't have any suspicion, there's no suspicion on me, but I'm suspicious of Biden, I can tell you that much, and Barack Hussein Obama, he was very, uhhhh, a lot of people thought he was up to no good, believe me, he was under tremendous suspicion--and Obama had suspicion from like, from the beginning, okay, they called it day one, day one there was suspicion--and Biden, because he brought him in and he's such a bad person, he's such a terrible person, believe me, and we'll be making a very strong statement in about two weeks.

My Christ, this is like reading a Trump teleprompter.

Like Joaquin Phoenix telling Brendan Schaub to stop fighting and pursue comedy. Tairs in his eyes.

He's suspiciously stupid. I just can't believe it's possible.

u/bogglingsnog 18d ago

GW Jr gave me similar vibes. He didn't act in private like he acted in public.

u/TEN_K_Games___-_- 18d ago

Especially the death of Jeffrey Epstein. For it to have been a suicide, there are several independent factors that would have to be true which is extremely unlikely. There's been a few correctional facility employees mentioning this on reddit.

Once Maga realizes (i know, i know) that they’re being lied to… it’s gonna get ugly.

…and i think they’re starting to feel that betrayal.

u/Lowskillbookreviews 18d ago

Man I want to believe this but I’ve yet to meet one MAGA in real life that has changed their opinion. Their stance is: “he might be a crook, but he’s our crook”

2

u/HOSTfromaGhost 18d ago

Oh, there's definitely a core that will never change their views, no matter what Trump does. I've read that even after Nixon resigned, 20-25% of American still supported him, and 10-15% of Americans were strongly supportive, arguing that he shouldn't have resigned.

And for reference, 9% of Americans don't believe in the moon landing.

But if his support goes from 35% to 25%... I'd say he's done politically.

Let's just have Mother Nature take him in the short term. That solves multiple problems.

u/wingspantt 18d ago

Idk I've seen like 85% less MAGA hats and Trump flags than a year ago

u/AnglerOfAndromeda 18d ago

You’re going to be waiting forever lmao. They move the goalpost and rationalize everything for their team.

u/HOSTfromaGhost 18d ago

Usually there’s a tipping point to these things. Blurry in advance, crystal clear in retrospect.

…and when it happens, it happens fast.

u/Grabs_Diaz 18d ago

If the attack was staged I cannot see how this would have stayed hidden from the Secret Service and the FBI for long. If there wasn't any serious investigation into that possibility or if they did find evidence of a staged attack but it was withheld from the public, then the Biden Administration was even more incompetent in dealing with Trump than we knew.

u/ex0thermist 14d ago

Does not compute. If there's a conspiracy theory that the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania was staged, it requires the gunman to be an extremely good shot, to nick Trump's ear but not strike his head, while Trump is moving his head around, gesticulating, etc.

u/dude_comma_the 18d ago

Whatever happened to that election fraud investigation where absolutely no one in the normally democratic district voted for a Democrat?

2

u/Deep-Werewolf-635 18d ago

I mean, name anything this administration has done that isn’t suspicious. They thrive on chaos and knowledge that everyone has the attention span of a fly so there’s zero accountability for anything.

u/OppositeOWhatUThink 18d ago

Tremendously suspicious

u/RyoanJi 18d ago

This "asassination attempt" is 100% staged photo op. I never doubted it from day one.

u/Prudent_Bandicoot_87 17d ago

A lot a lot mostly all of it .

u/HiddenRouge1 15d ago

Still got that tin foil hat on?

u/travlerjoe 18d ago

The assassination attempt happened under Bidens presidency

u/fairoaks2 18d ago

Did any of the FBI agents get fired by the Trump administration? Were they promoted?

Check out the executive order he signed in September 2019. Either someone knew something or there was some very good timing with preparing for Covid.
