Another Assassination Attempt on Trump
Timothy Birdnow
From The New York Post:
An armed intruder has been shot dead after illegally entering President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida early Sunday morning, the US Secret Service has said.
The unidentified man in his early 20s was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can at the north gate of the West Palm Beach property at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday and was shot dead by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy, according to a statement put out on social media.
It's almost ten a.m. as I write this and I could find nothing about this with a Google or Bing search. It's as if it hadn't happened. Now why do you suppose that is?
The media wants to bury this. The assassination attempt on Trump saw his public approval soar, and if the media gives this the seriousness it deserves they fear a sympathy backlash will hurt their precious Democrats. They know that it is their rhetoric that is causing this stuff and they don't want the public to sour on it, so they will just yawn "nothing to see here" and move along.
Wonder if this guy was an illegal alien, or an Antifa guy with a leftist manifesto?
The media has to move delicately; they want this sort of pressure, attempts on Trump, violence, etc. but they don't want too much of it because then it doesn't seem justified (or organic). No doubt the New York Times writers are high-fiving right about now, or bemoaning the attempt's failure, but they are going to take time to deal with this because they need to find a way to make it inconsequential or justified. If they could find a way to blame the GOP for it all the better, but until they do they will say little, as little as they can.
Right now the Left is testing, probing for weaknesses. At some point they may succeed. They believe (rightly in many ways) that Trump is the head of the serpent and if they cut that off MAGA will be leaderless and the inevitable infighting that will come will fracture the movement and the "rightful rules" can then emerge to retake power.
Trump IS the head; nobody else could have done what he did. A Vance Presidency would probably be o.k. but I doubt Vance - with a young family - would be able to withstand what Trump has endured. He'll soften to spare his family (and who could blame him). The Left knows this.
As I say, this is just a probing expedition. The real assassination attempts will come after the November elections, when there is no danger of a sympathy vote.
I never thought it would come to this in America. I feel like I'm in a Shakespearean play about ancient Rome.
BTW how stupid do you have to be to attempt to invade Mar-a-Lago, Trump's home turf? Why would this idiot think he could outwit the Secret Service, with years of experience and training? I get a long range shot at Trump, but trying to sneak in with a weapon and gasoline? Really?
