I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    I don’t think it was fake.

    I think they knew it (or something dramatic) was going to happen with plenty of warning and deliberately allowed it to play out for dramatic effect.

      I suspect the guy in question was identified as somebody who might try something stupid, not competent enough to pull it off, and possibly encouraged to try by an undercover agent.
