Guys we just don't know.  What if he really just wanted to kill the fire chief guy and trump just got in the way?  There's really no way to tell.

Republicans can register their kids to vote when they turn 18? Didn't know that.

He had some issue with Trump, obviously, but that doesn't make him Anti-Maga, Anti-Republican, or an Anti-Trumper. Maybe he was just crazy and wanted to shot someone famous...we still don't know his motivation. 

Weren't you throwing a tantrum about speculating too soon last night?  Maybe you ought to pipe down and wait for the official reports to come out.

[nobody 2,674]

Guys, he might have just been hunting and mistaken Trump's head for a quail.  No possible to way to tell what he was thinking.

I'm sorry Mr. President. We had our shooter in position, had the shot but he flinched at the last second. We killed our shooter immediately and scrubbed his social media last week so there's no trail of evidence.

Is it possible?  I guess.  If I were weighing odds I'd say that's well below 10%.  He could be a Lincoln Project guy I guess.  There aren't tons of those running around though.  The much more plausible line is he voted Republican to vote against Trump in the primary because he felt he was a threat to our republic and he acted in this homicidal way because he has believed the steady diet of comparisons to Hitler and threat to our democracy.  If you believe that, I mean truly believe it and not in the hyperbolic way, why should we be surprised?  Wouldn't someone who had acted on Hitler in the 30s been in the right?  That's the danger of the rhetoric.

I would agree that radicalized left wing nut job is the most likely, but the odds aren’t as favorable as you suggest IMO.  I’d go something like

50% radicalized left wing nut job

30% Republican or Libertarian anti-Trumper

20% apolitical psycho that wanted to be famous

The head of the Secret Service previously worked for PepsiCo/Frito-Lay and they make/sell Grandma's cookies so that's another option.

I am going to wildly speculate the Fire Chief guy may have been easier to target at any number of places.  Continuing my speculation you are jsut having a bit of fun.

[GutterBoy 2,899]

If I'm betting I say he was suicidal and wanted to be famous on his way out.  He clearly has no strong political history one way or another.

The guy may have just been doing target practice and he's just a really bad shot.  Has anyone even checked for those little paper target things around the area?  We have no idea what the guy may have been thinking.

Which is why I'd like to know where the firefighter was located relative to Trump. If he were 20 yards away, then it's possible the kid was just firing bullets in that direction, knowing he'd be taken down immediately. If his target was Trump and the firefighter was 20 yards away, he would have focused all his shots on Trump instead of spraying them around.

Shouldn't be long before we know the forensics of all this.

The kid's first shot was on target. His follow up shots not so much. Otherwise the SS Agents that piled on Trump would've been hit. 

He likely panicked after seeing his best chance didn't work and simply squeezed off shots in rapid succession and missed, high, hitting this poor guy as a result.
