And the conspiracy theories are are already flowing. Apparently Kirk was convinced Israel was going to assassinate him so he had more security and wore body armor during public appearances recently. Another is that he pissed off the Nazi's to the point they wanted him gone. Another is that it was a distraction op.
It's been a fun read the last few hours. Like "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" so....it was probably a baby.
Trump sacrificing a pawn would not be that crazy.
The reason I don't buy into this theory is cause Trump isn't that smart.
Yeah, but the people controlling him, like some sort of geriatric meat marionette, are that smart. They are the ones putting the Executive Orders in front of this senile bag of burgers and controlling exactly what he says. The only time you get a glimpse behind the scenes is when he nervously flagilates on Live TV and doesn't have a prompter to guide him along.
The other fascists propping him up are.
I’m not saying that it’s true, or even attempting to assert it.

No proof or evidence either.
I don't buy it because it places trump as mastermind and not another pawn.
That implies he can play chess. I do see the logic, I could see someone wanting to sac a pawn. There are a lot of dumb theories about who could be playing Trump, like the Russians, or Thiel or whoever, so I don't want to speculate who
yeah this wouldn't surprise me at all especially now with the "FBI can't find the shooter!" shit. My tinfoil hat says distraction op.
more like a bishop.
A Great Bishop! A LEGENDARY, even, Bishop. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
why would the Israelis want to kill him?
Because all conspiracy theories, after you strip away all the overly elaborate chains of communication, the gob smackingly large amount of people who would need to know and be completely silent, and overly complex reasons, always ends up back to the Jews.
He was claiming that Epstein was a Mossad agent & demanding that Trump release the Epstein files.
He'~~s~~ was Charlie Kirk..?
