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 don't think the assassination attempt was run by the democrats. I truly beileve that it was just one person who didn't want Trump to even have a shot at winning the election so he was going to take him out himself. But I can see the point of view that someone would have planned it.
I do think the assassination attempt on Trump was planned by the Democrats. Given from the evidence that we have been provided, all fingers point at the democrats. It's possible Thomas Crooks acted alone, but we would need more evidence proving the democrats didn't act with Crooks. It’s clear there was a failure in security protocol, allowing him to get onto the building and fire shots at Trump.
I disagree with you on the fact that the democrast tried to kill Trump but I also think that it is very possiable that they did try to kill him. I just think that it would be hard to plan a attack on Trump and nothing to get leacked out but it also is wired that Trump had such little Secuirty.
I don't think that the assignation was planned by the democrats. Many people don't like trump due to his way of doing thing. I think acted alone because there was no other shooters and he didn't have a really good plan because he ended up being killed.
I also agree with you, I think that if he was the only person there that he maybe worked alone. I think that there could be a possibility of working with others but I think that he worked alone, because of how he set it up.
I agree with you, the shooter didn't have a good a good plan because he ended up getting killed. I think he probably acted alone and if someone did act with him it would be a small group of people. I think that the attempt wasn't that welly thought out.
This is a very confusing topic as the details go against each other. You wouldn't think Crooks acted alone because how the secret service completely failed to do their job. Failed so bad it leads people to think that they had to have known Crooks was there, meaning it was planned. However, then it comes out that Crooks was found to working alone. Either way, I think that the secret service should have done better.
I do not think the democrats planned it out because that argument doesn't get anywhere and just allows people to hate more. I do think that he acted alone because I haven't heard any evidence of him working with others. The secret service could have done more but their orders were not good as they weren't allowed to take shots at him scine leaders didn't see him as a threat.
No I don't think the assasniation attempt was planned by the Democrats because the guy who shot at him was formerly a Trump supporter in 2016. I think Thomas Crooks acted alone but its possible someone told him about the location of the roof. I think security failed at their job that day but at least Trump survived the attack.
Do you think the security service was or wasn’t following protocol when it came to protecting Trump? I do not believe that the secret service followed protocol when protecting Trump. If they did what they were supposed to, they would've seen the shooter before he even took his gun out of his bag. I belive that if they would have done what they were supposed to do, those kids wouldn't have lost their dad.
