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.

How can it be a hoax if it resulted in the death of 2 people. You really think Trump hired somebody to fire live rounds at him? I think you're in the minority here, I too thought it was awfully convenient with the timing and the lack of information about the shooter, but I just can't believe Trump would allow someone to take a shot at him.

Could have been someone else (not Trump) allowing an attempt on Trump's life, figuring:

  1. If they stop it early, they're heroes and Trump gets a boost. Could have planned to not let him get shots off and fucked up that part.
  2. If Trump actually dies, it's a tossup election at worst and Trump is more self-interested than ideologically conservative anyway.

Possible, definitely not a sure thing.

Wow. I thought only the right had conspiracy theorists.
