Bull. Shit. His allegiance to Putin is what caused him to be shot at this time.

I've been thinking about why the assassination attempts have only just now started. I wonder if they become more likely when a politician or celebrity is seen as weakening in favor as opposed to when they are on the rise.
His base is turning on him, and they're the degenerate weirdos who think the only way to save the republican movement is to kill Trump. They learned this brilliant tactic from Trump himself, he even gave them some training exercises with Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.
Trump has used and hurt his voter base a lot, I'm not surprised they're coming back to get him.

IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE IS THAT EVEN REMOTELY, METAPHORICALLY, GENEROUSLY TRUE!? The man cannot open his mouth without generally talking about how everyone on the left is actively, intentionally and malevolently destroying America, and that's when he is not actively calling for his highly volatile MAGA followers to do unethical, and even illegal, things to ensure "they don't steal this election". His followers break into and flood the Capital Building leaving police officers in their wake, conspire to kidnap governors, break into Nancy Pelosi's home and beat her husband to within an inch of his life when they don't find her, not to mention all the general violence and hate of those like the Proud Boys, the Patriot Front, and other white Christian nationalists. The idea that anyone could ever possibly see you as innocent in, at minimum, your rhetoric is mistifying.
His coaching from his campaign is showing through. They desperately want him to be the law and order candidate, "weathering the storm from the militant left", but he just can't help but attack the left and encourage further violence. He will sabotage his own campaign and image if he starts encouraging violence here.

Within a couple of sentences.
It's become obvious over time that one of Trump's primary strategies in life is assigning his failures and faults to other people. He lives in a sort of permanent fog of projection.
I wonder who he's trying to fool though. It's so constant and seemingly effortless that I suspect that it's really mostly for his own benefit - that it's not just the story he's telling other people, but the story he's telling himself.
Same people he has been fooling for years. The fanatical MAGA believers and everyone on the right who subscribes to the whole, "If it doesn't fit my narrative, it is fake news."
This is called narcissism, he is just a narcissist with a hard-on for himself and unfortunate access to widespread attention

Says the guy who was "just invited to give a speech" on 1/6/21, and who had no idea whether his innocent highlight of JD Vance's Ohio Consituent's "first hand evidence" led to numerous bomb threats over several days.
Trump later added. "I can use it too — far better than they can — but I don’t."
