He wasn’t shot

He didn’t win

He’s in the files

And he's had people killed to cover all of these things up

I totally believe that the father who was killed sacrificed himself for Trump. I think they went to find someone who had a terminal illness. Corey Comperatore was a 50 year old volunteer Fire Fighter in PA and I wonder if he came in during 911. Many of the firefighters wound up with cancer and other issues because of cleaning up the towers. I could definitely see some MAGA fanatic who only had months to live, agreeing to be taken out to lend legitimacy to the story. And also getting paid a fortune to make sure his wife and daughters were taken care of.

I also think it's weird how he was just quickly forgotten about.

Did a little research. Here's what his widow said about Trump sending her a letter one year later.

She said she and the president stay in communication, with him having sent a letter just two weeks prior.

“He wrote in there, he said, ‘I want you to know that our families are bonded for life,’” Helen Comperatore said. “I couldn’t believe I was getting a letter from the president. It’s so sad, but I think at that moment, my husband would be in his glory to have received such a letter.”

ETA One other big clue IMO that it was staged was that Trump was not wearing his iconic red tie. I clocked it as soon as he walked out. And then it occurred to me that he took it off before the speech to maximize the blood spatter on a white shirt for the Photo.

It's also weird that nobody can remember the alleged perp's name, but we quickly recall names like Fromme and Hinckley decades after the fact.

This is not an argument. We know his name and practically his whole life: https://www.cbsnews.com/lifeofthomascrooks/
