Anyone else think that this event seems odd in that (1) Trump's visit to this golf course wasn't on his schedule, (2) that the perpetrator had been there for 12 hours in advance of being confronted and (3) that no one is questioning that this might be (another?) paid for hire PR stunt. Anyone?

I'm right there with you.

I'm thinking it may have been a Putin PsyOps operation to increase sympathy for Trump without actually putting Trump in danger.

Putin and the Axis of Dicktators want Trump elected because they know they can easily lead him to do whatever they want by mere flattery and dangling false promises of developing Trump resorts on their best beach front properties.

Evidence that the alleged shooter may have been a Russian plant: the weapon was a Soviet style AR; he had supported Tulsi Gabbard, who is suspected of having ties to Russia, in the past; his past visits to Ukraine to lobby for Americans to join the fight could have been a ruse to make him appear to be anti-Trump; he never actually fired at Trump; he was taken in without a shot fired – how convenient for him, for Russia, and for Trump; somehow he knew Trump would be golfing, which would be easy to communicate to him if someone inside the Trump organization was in on the plan.

How do we know it’s a Russian AK ? All I have seen is the serial number was filed off the gun and AK-47 long gun. I’m not saying you are wrong just asking for further info . The witness who provided the car licence photo to police certainly seems to have been in the right place at the right time also.

This article from the Associated Press says (very late in the article) that a loaded SKS style rifle was recovered from the place where the Secret Service officer first saw a rifle aimed toward the hole at the Trump golf club where Trump was about to golf.

According to Wikipedia, an SKS rifle is a semi-automatic rifle designed by Soviet small arms designer Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov in 1945. The SKS was first produced in the Soviet Union but was later widely exported and manufactured by various nations, and millions were sold before the AK-47 was introduced in the 1950s.

Still, beginning in 1988, millions have been sold on the civilian market in North America, where they remain popular as hunting and sporting rifles.

An AK will blow the animal apart. What is the sport in that???? I used to hunt, for a very short time, with my brother in Illinois in the back fields. I shot a pheasant and a rabbit and am still ruing the day. But, I proved to my brother I was a better shot than he was. No one needs a gun that shoots more than one bullet at a time for hunting. The law is, supposedly, that repeating rifles can only have three bullets loaded at a time. But these are not law abiding Citizens, so that's out the window. It's not a sport, it's murder.

That's what I saw reported. Sorry, I don't remember where I read/heard that fact reported. I read so many different reports throughout the day.

Well they’ve stopped talking about Springfield, Ohio. Unless you live there. So I’d say it worked.

My thoughts exactly. The minute I heard about the "attempt on the former president's life" , I felt that something was very fishy.

How was it determined that he'd been there 12 hours? And how far away was that secret service agent who spotted the gun barrel poking thru the bushes? Why, also, if the guy was there for 12 hours, didn't the secret service spot him sooner?

How many secret service agents does Trump have? Former president's, I believe, have only 2, but there would be more than that because he's a nominee for president.

And has any president or former president had this many failed assassination attempts? It's just too fishy that two dimwitted would-be killers would somehow manage to know where to go, where to be, and both with semiautomatic rifles, to get almost close enough. How did the rally shooter know where he could get up on a rooftop and have a clear shot? And why would a guy fly to Florida all the way from Hawaii, buy a semiautomatic and ammo in Florida, drive to one of several golf courses Trump owns and manage to find the right one when Trump wasn't even scheduled to be there that day?

Was actually thinking this was possible before you gave me these other facts. We'll have to see what the investigation shows.
