We can assume he didn't compose it. We have seen how ineffectual he is at delivering the words of other people. That alone would have impaired its effectiveness. We also know when he goes off-script he delivers what sound like the taunts and insults of a fourth grader. Put all that together and it could very easily have been another massive misstep by Trump in a months-long string of them. He would have looked even more petulant and bitter than he already does.

This attempted assassin's actions have only benefited the right wing.
