K Here's what I'm thinking. The #WHCD situ looks like a setup b/c it partially may be. Cole Allen checked in at the Hilton w/a long rifle the night before. Plenty of time for hotel staff to notify authorities of his presence & time for Secret Service & Trump to be ready. 1 #WHCA
Apparently, Trump was not a target - just his administration, excluding Kash Patel. But that remains to be seen. But b/c they were poss ready for Cole Allen, they had the stupid #WHBallroom pitch ready, slathered it all over the media w/in minutes of Allen being neutralized. 2 #WHCA #WHCD
No wonder the word "staged" was posted on 300,000+ #SocialMedia w/in 1hr after the news hit the wires. It's not that ppl are insane or irrational, it's b/c it's normal for human beings to detect patterns, put 2&2 together & Trump et al's habit of capitalizing on everything to 3 #WHCA #WHCD
promote something else they want - be it the #WHBallroom, the #IranWar, supporting #Israel's war crimes in #Gaza, kidnapping citizens or bombing the shit out of small boats in the Caribbean. That's what leads to "conspiracy theories." Which is what Trump et al live & feed on. 4 #WHCA #WHCD
