  • 8 rounds fired at Trump - Thomas Matthew Crooks apparently
  • Corey Comperatore in the audience was killed
  • Shooter shot dead by Secret Service
  • Shooter posted some messages on social media beforehand about July 13 being eventful
  • How is it even possible?
  • Not clear where incompetence ends and negligence begins
  • Trump should have a lot of momentum now
  • Crowd was shocked he was shot
  • Kids in Africa are also re-enacting the iconic moment
  • MSM has gone out of their way to associate violent rhetoric as an appropriate reaction to Trump

    • Reid Hoffman wished he had made Trump an actual martyr
    • Jack Black band member was disappointed Trump wasn’t shot
    • Joe Biden said its time to put Trump in the bullseye
    • They say over and over that Trump is hitler, a threat to democracy, he will be the end of democracy
    • If he is Hitler - then why would you offer thoughts and prayers if he’s shot
    • New Republic had cover page of him as Hitler
  • Secret Service needs to be investigated
    • How did they fail to cover that roof? It was the most obvious shooting spot in that area
      • Then they release statement that they didn’t cover it because it was more sloped - when they had shooters on other roof that was more sloped - so this clearly seems like a lie
        • They are also on White House roof which is very sloped - so they are talking nonsense
    • This shooter was person of interest an hour before the shooting - they find him with a range finder - and then they let Trump go out there - huge failure of communication - how can no agent stationed be at the fence - so they rammed the fence with an SUV
    • Why haven’t they released audio recording of chatter about chain of command - why wasn’t everything stopped until they investigate the PoI
    • Why did it take so long to take Trump out of the whole area - the whole thing reeks of incompetence
      • They deleted all their texts from Jan 6 also - no accountability
    • There were apparently 2 sets of snipers

  • Worked with Thiel and Steve Case in the past - so a republican and a democrat
  • Usha introduced him well
  • Amber Rose also spoke well at RNC
  • Vivek did really well with his speech
  • Trump’s cabinet seems to be trending younger
  • Large parts of JD’s speech could have been given by Bernie Sanders
  • The teamsters were also at the RNC - unions are being included in the party too
  • This is Donald Trump’s republican party
  • This is a legacy pick - so that the MAGA message can continue into the future
