(2,949 posts)Trump intentionally had one or two people killed for his PR event.
(Of course, that assumes the supposedly dead people actually were killed and not just part of a staged play. How would we know?)
It would take a complete sociopath to have 2 people killed just for a good picture. So I have always doubted the staging theory. But since then, we have seen zero remorse when this guy apparently ordered innocent fishermen basted to bits and hundreds of school girls killed by our push-button weapons.
But how could they cover up those deaths in Butler? That's a tough one. The supposed death of the supposed shooter would be easy enough to cover up because hardly anybody saw him. But the guy in the audience was well known in the community. I can see only 2 ways this could have worked under the MTG theory:
1) Somebody had dirt on the victim, and used it to convince him to take his family to a new location under a new identity. Or somebody had some other reason to want the victim dead. I can't see either of those scenarios. That would just take too much coordination.
2) Back to the sociopath thing. Trump just didn't care who died. It would be blamed on Trump's enemies. The shooter could easily have been extracted from the scene.
In a similar vein, we still have heard nothing about the pilot who was supposedly rescued in Iran. The Pentagon claimed he was injured, but survived. It seems completely implausible that the Trump machine would not be parading him around, injured or not, in one of their famous flag-waving exercises.
The bottom line is that NOTHING this administration says can be believed, and that gives rise to this kind of speculation.
