    It sounds like you really want this to be an assassination attempt and are doing your very best to justify it as such. I won’t try and dissect that because it’s a personal thing to you and I don’t even know you.

    In reality, he may have wanted to kill trump. But at the same time, he did not get close to him, he brought a bunch of equipment and hung around outside a secured facility until the guards chased him away. That is a suspicious and armed person on the premises. Not an attempted assassination.

    There were no shots fired, he didn’t get close, he didn’t even get within sight range.

    I understand this is an emotionally charged subject for you since you keep insisting that reality unfolded differently so I won’t engage with you further.

      I mean, if a guy posted the same stuff about Joe Biden, tried to break into the White House with a pistol, but was stopped before he could pull the trigger, would you call that an assassination attempt? I sure would - he wanted to kill the guy so he went there to do the deed. What other reason would someone have to hide in the bushes on someone else’s property with a gun for 12 hours?

      Oh don’t be so condescending, it was an attempt by all common definitions. And further, the FBI themselves is investigating the issue as an assassination attempt.

      Not only do I think you are confused, I think you’re being a bully about it and should check yourself.
