Donald Trumps 1st Assination Attempt

On July 13, 2024 at 5:11 P.M. 8 shots were fired towards Donald J. Trump at his rally in Butler Pennsylvania. One of the shots grazed President Trump's ear and another hit a father trying to protect his family. He later died due to his injuries that he stuffed that day. He was the only death on that day although a couple of others sustained injuries. This was a major event and will be talked about for years to come. There were many conspiracies made surrounding the events on that day. One thing that is for sure is that there was a lack of security at the event. The shooter was able to get 150 yards away from Trump on a rooftop. The secret security was supposed to have the rooftop on lock down with it being so close to Trump. The shooter was later identified as 20 year old  Thomas Mathew Crooks. He was able to climb up on top of the building with an AR style rifle. He climbed up on the roof while Trump was making his speech to the people of Pennsylvania. That's when he got into position while being detected by the secret service. Before he shot his 8 bullets he was in the secret services scopes but they didn’t have a good view on him or have clearance to shoot him. After Thomas fired his shots the secret service shot back and hit him in the head causing him to die on impact. 

 

Many Republicans think that this event was planned by the democrats to take out Trump because they don't want him to be president. They say that the secret service allowed him to get on top of the roof and take shots before killing him. While Democrats deny all of those claims saying that it was just a tragedy that it happened and they had nothing to do with it. 

 

I think that it wasn’t planned by the Democrats but I think that it showed how they provided a lack of security for Trump and didn’t follow protocol when it came to protecting Trump. 



Do you think that Trump's assination attempt was planned by the Democrats?

 

Do you think Thomas Crooks acted alone?

 

Do you think the security service was or wasn’t following protocol when it came to protecting Trump?

    • I agrrew with you opiopn with him being mental ill I think that a person who is in there right mind wouldn't attemet a attack like that on him. I also think that there was a lack of effert when it came to protecting Trump. I think that they should have done everything to protect Trump and the people at his rally to 

  • Do you think that trups assination atemt was planned by the democrats? all though it could be very likely I dont think the democrats would have done such a thing, if they did plan the assination on trump there would be multiple traces left behind from the democrats.

  • Do you think the security service was or wasn’t following protocol when it came to protecting Trump? I don't think the head of the secret service made the right decision. After all of the people screaming that he has a gun and all of the people noticing that he was climbing on the roof they still did not take any action. So I think that its the secret services falt for not taking any action.

    • I agree qith your opion on the secret service not followings prototcall when it came to protecting Trump on July 13. I also agree on you statment about no one raise susistion when he started climbing the roof and they didn't do anything about it
