    Of course he was targeted. The shooter is likely dead by now. They probably called it Operation Watch Charlie or something.

    He was killed as a distraction.

      Possible… but he had a lot of enemies, and there’s more and more people with literally nothing left to lose in the USA every single day, so it was probably inevitable on a long enough timescale.

      He was killed as a distraction.

      Susie Wiles: “Sir, they leaked the live copy of your letter to Jeffery Epstein. It’s having absolutely no effect on your public approval and Congress seems incapable of doing anything to stall your accrual of executive level powers. What should we do?”

      Trump: “I’m a great president, Susie. Some say I’m the greatest president who ever lived. That’s why I make the big decisions. And I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. We’ve got to save the nation. We need to get stronger. Some people are saying we’re not strong, but they’re wrong, Susie. This is the best this country has ever been and it’s only going to get better. Are you ready to make this country better, Susie? I don’t think you’re ready… you’re nodding. Does that mean you’re ready?”

      Susie Wiles: “Yes, Mr. President. Anything for you, Mr. President.”

      Trump: “Go talk to Pete Hegseth. He’ll tell you what to do.”

      Pete Hegseth, drunkenly: “Susthy, ith so good to thee you again. But I lothe to wath you leaf.”

      Susie Wiles: “The President said you would know what to do.”

      Pete: “Yeah, uh… kill the big head guy. You know the one. With the tiny face.”

      Susie: “Charlie Kirk”

      Pete: loud burping noise

      Susie: “Right away, Mr. War Fighter Commander Pete.”

      sounds of gunfire

      Susie Wiles: “Mr. President! In a strange turn of fate, it appears someone else shot Charlie Kirk before we could get to him.”

      Trump: “All according to plan, Susie. I’m the smartest man who ever lived. You can thank me with a kiss. Get over here, sweetie.”

      I swear you people would watch World War III kick off, vomiting your own digestive system out from acute radiation sickness, and still be saying “This is just a distraction from Epstein!”

      More than one thing can happen on planet Earth. It doesn’t all have to tie back to Trump and Epstein.
