That's Thomas Matthew Crooks on the right. It's wild how easily I forgot that at least 2 people have tried to assassinate him.

Yeah, I was sure to phrase it "at least", because who knows if there's been other attempts that we don't know about or have been foiled before they got the chance to.

Why would you remember him?

None of the spaces on the left are set up to keep anything like this topical. Even this post is only because of Rosie which is from this week. Next week you'll forget about both.

Have you seen the latest moth Sheeran post though 🔥🔥🔥

First of all, I'm not even American. Should I really have to remember shitty assassins like John Wilkes Booth? I bet you don't know who destroyed my nations fleet during the Napoleonic Wars. I've given you enough clues though.. Secondly, don't you think the left was just as interested in the very close assassination attempt at the leader that is now black bagging civilians off the street?

Rosie is giving me Christopher Pike vibes in that pic. Love it.

Am I too European to understand what this is about?

Rosie O'Donnell criticized Lord God Emperor Trumpus Maximus and like the true narcissist he is, he has never stopped being mad at her for it. He recently threatened to revoke her citizenship even though she was born in the US to US citizens.

The guy on the right literally tried to assassinate Trump, but he's dead now. Not sure why Trump never mentions him though, other than he's probably satisfied with the fact that he died trying to kill him.

Trumpus (~Trumpet) Maximus

The fact he never mentions the guy on the right is odd because there are a lot of unanswered questions. Two phones, foreign (Mossad) tech used to hack them, never mentioned again. His lone-gunman (CIA/Mossad agent) background is suspect. Yet, Trump isn't digging down into him, or maybe he was told not to by his handlers (Zionist.)

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 10 points 2 months ago

How do we know this about him? I hadn't really read anything about him after the attempt

[-] IAmJacksRage@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago

Where can we read more about the Mossad angle and the 2 phones. Wikipedia seems to have been cleansed of certain details.

[-] Nico_198X@europe.pub 6 points 2 months ago

yes. appreciate that fact and enjoy your day.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I'm not American, and thanks for asking. I had no clue either haha.

[-] Zephorah@discuss.online 17 points 2 months ago

No. Matthew Crooks went after him because of his suspicion of Trump being in the Epstein Files.

Rosie was brought by Trump, in association with a heinously treasonous idea, to distract from Trump’s association with the Epstein Files.

Distraction is Trump’s preferred tool when he’s scared or grifting.

He never mentions the guy because the "assassination attempt" was a poorly disguised hoax, and EVERYONE knows it.

Worse for HitlerPig is that he KNOWS that everyone knows that it is a hoax, so he's keeping relatively quiet about it. Now and then he makes a reference to it, but it ALWAYS falls flat. Even his own followers don't get worked up about it because they know it was a clumsy hoax. If they claim to believe it, then they have to explain the fact that the guy was a hard-core MAGA, another awkward fact they don't want to deal with.

It was a hoax that didn't work, and one guy had his head literally blown off, so best to keep it on the DL.

[-] Armand1@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Wow. I thought only the right had conspiracy theorists.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

He talks about Rosie because she's just living her life and not seeing massive consequences from his hatred. The would be assassin got the fury of the state stomping down on them.
