Some Questions We Need To Ask [1]

['Greg Dworkin']

Date: 2026-05-25  

Last Saturday, President Trump was threatened, once again, with a would be assassin.

If the news reports are true, the shooter was a man who had tried, several times, to get past White House Security, once claiming to be Jesus Christ.

Obviously, this guy had some serious mental health issues.

How did he manage to get a gun?

Was he able to walk into Wal Mart and buy one? Didn’t anyone notice that he wasn’t quite right? Did he show I.D. then tell the clerk,”Of course I’m really Jesus Christ?”

Isn’t it odd that he should try his latest, and most deadly attack, when much of the Washington Press Corps was outside the executive mansion, waiting for a statement on Iran?

I’m told that the bystander, who was shot, is critical, but expected to recover.

As of the last report, no one is sure whether he was shot by the would be assassin, or a Secret Service Agent.

But the whole thing is kind of iffy.

How did this guy get a gun?

Why did he decide to try to get past security when the press corps were out in force?

I don’t suppose any of those questions will be answered.

Instead, we will hear, again and again, that Trump needs his ballroom, for security reasons.

All of which makes me wonder. I try not to believe in conspiracy theories. But it does make me wonder.
