I liken him some to the guy who shot John Lennon. Chapman was a FAN of Lennon,
but also crazy and obsessed. It may not have shown with this guy but he was a trump fan and probably grew increasingly obsessed and crazy to the point like with Chapman he thought if he killed trump he would assume all of trumps celebrity and notoriety. Chapman thought he would garner Lennons fame and fans adulation. It's weird, psycho, not a logical motive, but his mind was warped by the maga movement and all the violent rhetoric. This was his best effort to fit in after all the bullying. After all the bullying he suffered from maga, he may have come to see that it originated with trump, because trump is a bully.

So, what I see for this guy is bullied and ignored. over and over again.
No one would let him into any group and his most likely fit was maga but even the gun club said no.
So, he thinks, I'll show them, and he did. Almost.
