Who Shot Trump?

- A Radical Dispatch

1) Trump was shot

By now readers will know that President Trump was shot at on live video by a suspected assassin, and lived. Images of the President dropping to the floor amid gunshots only to get up again and raise his fist in defiance have gone viral.

Here’s a graphic depicting the basics of what happened within the space of a few minutes.

Despite the above visual illustrations, if the immediate reaction of corporate media headlines was to be believed, this was all mere “loud popping noises, as Trump fell from the stage and then swiftly left.”

NBC reports 14th July 2024:

MSNBC reports 14th July 2024:

Such “loud popping noises” must have caused Trump to “fall off stage” as he was then rushed away.

CNN original headline 14th July 2024:

The Washington Post reports 14th July 2024:

USA Today reports 14th July 2024:

The best of all is this very real take by Forbes Magazine’s “diversity, equity and inclusion expert” Shaun Harper, asking whether Trump surviving gunfire will be his next appeal to Black voters (this is not satire).

Forbes Magazine reports July 14th 2024:

This is how Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has spawned a new breed of conspiracy theorist.

The type of person that was calling the rest of us cOnSpiRaCY tHeOrISts only two days ago for exposing actual conspiracies, is now in denial that this was a real shooting.

Beyond speculating without evidence, here are certain facts that appear strong from what we know so far.

2) There was a shooter

The BBC interviewed a rally attendee who states that he and his friends witnessed a suspected sniper targeting President Trump from a rooftop.

BBC Correspondent: “You weren’t inside the event, you were just outside. Tell us what you saw and what you didn’t.”

Witness: “So we had a party here all day. You can see behind us at the Burkle's Farm and Greenhouse here. We had a party. And we all decided, hey, you know, when we hear Trump up there, we're going to walk up through the field, stand by the trees out there under the shade, and listen to the rally. Right, we couldn't see him, but we could hear him. So we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking. I'm estimating here, I have no idea, you know, but, um, we noticed the guy crawling, arm ya know..bear crawling, up the roof of the building, beside us, 50 feet away from us. So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing, we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof.”

Correspondent: “And he had a gun, right?” 

Witness: “He had a rifle. We could clearly see him with a rifle, absolutely. We're pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground. We're like, ‘hey, man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle!’. And the police were like, “Huh? huh?’ Ya know, like, like, they didn’t know what was going on. You know, we're like, ‘hey, right here on the roof, we can see him from right here. We see him! He's crawling!’ And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, ‘why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?’ I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two or three minutes. Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this. And next thing you know, five shots rang out.”

Correspondent: “You’re certain that the shots came from that guy on the roof?”

Witness: “100%. 100%.”

Correspondent: “And he was up there for a couple of minutes?”

Witness: “He was up there. Absolutely. At least three to four minutes.”

Correspondent: “And you were telling the police and the Secret Service?”

Witness: “We were telling the police. We were pointing at them for the Secret Service, who were looking at us from the top of the barn. They were looking at us the whole time we were standing by that tree.”

Correspondent: “Could they see you?”

Witness: “Probably not, because the roof, the way the slope went, he was behind where they could see. But why is there not Secret Service on all of these roofs here? I mean, this is not a big place.”

Correspondent: “Did you see, I mean, obviously everyone, when the shooting started, everyone was very panicked. Did you see what happened to him at all?”

Witness: “Oh yeah, they blew his head off. Secret service blew his head off.”

Correspondent: “OK sorry, we’re okay, just be careful because we don’t know who’s at home watching, but you’re pretty sure they shot the guy?”

Witness: “Absolutely. 100%. Yep.”

Correspondent: “You saw that happen?”

Witness: “Yep. Yep”

Correspondent: “Okay. And did you see them go up to afterwards, or..”

Witness: “They, yeah, they crawled up on the roof, they had their guns pointed at him to make sure he was dead, he was dead, and that was it, it was over.”

Correspondent: “That's incredibly shocking.”

Witness: “The guy was on the roof right there, you can see the white roof. right there!”

Correspondent: “Did you get a look at him, could you..”

Witness: “I, I, no other than he was in muted colours, tan, tight clothing, we saw the rifle flinging around, as he was trying to crawl up.. I mean, we the rifle 100%”

Correspondent: “Do you know about guns, do you know what kind of weapon it was or…”

Witness: “Oh I absolutely know about guns. For sure. It was a rifle of some sort. I wouldn’t know, ya know, I wasn’t close enough to read the label on it, it was a rifle of some sort. Yeah, absolutely.”

Correspondent: “So how do you process it? What you’ve just seen?”

Witness: “I don't know what to say, man. All I'll tell you is, you know, if I walked up closer there with anything that Secret Service considered a problem, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you right now. But I don't know why a guy, who we're standing there pointing out to police and Secret Service, is crawling up the roof”.

Anon: “Were you outside the security perimeter?”

Witness: “Yes, right there by that tree. We were outside the security perimeter. But my question is, there's only a few buildings around here. Why is Secret Service not at every building here?”

Correspondent: “There's a whole bunch of questions, I think, that are going to come.”

Witness: “There's a whole bunch of questions.”

Anon: “[muffled]...with a horse?”

Witness: “Yes, she was right in front of me. She kept going back and forth right in front of me. Yes.

Correspondent: “Tell us about her.”

Witness: “I mean, nice horse, nice lady running with a flag. She seemed very patriotic.”

Correspondent: "What’s the significance of her?”

Witness: “No, she’s just a .. he asked me if I saw a horse.”

Correspondent: “Right. Well listen, I’m sorry you had to witness that, that was a terrible thing, and er..you should stay safe with your family and er..“

Witness: “Gotcha”

3) Suspected shooter - usually a patsy anyway - is dead

The suspected shooter, as seen by the witness above, has now been named in corporate press as Thomas Matthew Crooks. As a registered Republican voter but also former Democratic donor, Crooks appears to fit the uni-party profile.

The Times reports 14th July 2024:

“The FBI has identified the suspect in Saturday’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a registered Republican who had donated to the Democrats. Crooks, 20, was shot and killed by the Secret Service seconds after he fired shots toward the stage where the former president was speaking at a campaign rally in the town of Butler, Pennsylvania. Crooks, who lived 40 miles away in the town of Bethel Park, was reportedly not carrying a driver’s licence and had to be identified by his DNA.”

Here is video of the suspected shooter appearing dead on the rooftop.

Some online are repeating a claim that the suspected shooter is not Thomas Matthew Crooks, but claim instead that it is Antifa member Maxwell Yearick.

Reuters has somewhat spuriously ‘fact-checked’ this claim by relying on their opinion that Yearick’s photo does not match that of the killed suspected sniper.

Reuters 15th July 2024:

“VERDICT. False. Maxwell Yearick is not the suspect identified by the FBI as the shooter in the July 13 assassination attempt of Trump in Pennsylvania. The photo of Yearick shared online does not resemble the suspect identified by authorities.”

Then again, those claiming that the real shooter is indeed Yearick are also going by nothing but their own view that these photos do indeed match.

4) Audience member was shot in the head and died

Another witness at the scene, who was an emergency doctor, tried to save someone at the rally who he stated had been shot in the head by what can only be assumed to be a stray bullet meant for Trump. He said that this person’s brain matter was visible. Corporate media has since reported that Corey Comperatore died at the scene.

Click to play:

Correspondent: “What did you see, sir?”

Witness: “I heard the shots. Err..I thought it was firecrackers to begin with. Somebody over there was screaming, he's been shot, he's been shot. So I made my way over. I said, I'm an emergency department physician. Let me help you. The guy had spun around and was jammed between the benches. He had a headshot here. There was lots of blood..and he had brain matter. So I got him..there’s the helicopter coming in to get him.. So, I got, people there were really helpfully, then I did CPR and did chest compressions as well…”  

While another two people were critically injured.

NBC reports 14th July 2024:

It is effectively established then that there were live rounds fired, and that those live rounds missed Trump and hit at least three people in the crowd, killing one.

BBC reports 14th July 2024:

“One man in the audience died while trying to protect his family during the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday, authorities say. Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old volunteer fire chief, dove onto family members when the shots rang out. ‘Corey died a hero,’ Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro said at a news conference on Sunday. Pennsylvania state police said the other two people shot were 57-year-old David Dutch and 74-year-old James Copenhaver. Both were in a stable condition on Sunday.”

5) Trump appeared injured and bleeding

After the shooting, President Trump is seen getting up with a bloodied face to raise his fist in defiance.

The Times reports 14th July 2024:

6) Who Shot Trump?

From the above, what is possible to establish so far is:

i) Witnesses saw a suspected shooter.

ii) Shots were fired.

iii) Witnesses saw the suspected shooter (patsy) die.

iv) Witnesses saw a bystander die, and two others were injured, indicating stray bullets that were probably aimed for Trump.

v) Trump appeared injured and bleeding from his ear.

The mere fact that the above can be established should disturb even the most ardent of Trump’s American opponents. Assuming that few will be naive enough to believe that suspected shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks gained the proximity required to shoot a President all by himself, at the very least what this incident implies is that - as we have been claiming - a global palace coup has been underway against Trump and other anti-globalist leaders, at least since the November 2020 elections, if not before.

But many questions remain. How did a shooter evade the US secret service and gain access to a line of sight to shoot at President Trump despite a counter-sniper also deployed on the roof? As always, such serious breaches of security are unlikely to be an accident. This glaringly obvious oversight could point to a deeper criminal plot on a scale comparable to suspicions around the assassination of President JFK. A such, it must be investigated.

Trump has no shortage of powerful globalist enemies. President Biden himself has indicated no qualms about wanting Trump to be placed in the “bullseye”.

Politico reports on Biden, 8th July 2024:

Certainly, an aerial view of the suspected shooter’s line of sight does indicate that the US Secret Service counter-snipers were placed in the worst possible position. A tree is seen in this aerial map blocking the view to the only obvious vantage point that an enemy sniper may have.

In the video below, a 360 degree aerial view of the scene clarifies this point. The blue dot represents the US secret service counter-sniper’s position. The red dot is Trump’s suspected assassin’s position. The orange dot is the stage that President Trump was speaking from.

What can clearly be seen is that the sniper (blue dot position) has a tree obscuring their view to the suspected shooter (red dot position). On the other hand, the suspected shooter has a clear line of sight to Trump (orange dot). There were no other snipers on any of the other rooftop positions, even from the third building behind Trump’s stage which would have provided a clear line of sight to the suspected shooter.

Here is video of the US secret service counter-sniper clearly responding to the suspected shooter on the rooftop behind the obscuring tree, only after shots had been fired.

Here is a video of multiple angles in ‘real time’ depicting the length of time it took from spectators spotting the suspected shooter to police failing to act and eventually to shots being fired and Trump being evacuated. The police reaction to the crowd warning about an apparent shooter on the roof appears to have been lacklustre at best.

The US secret service cannot be this amateur. Another option is that the suspected shooter was facilitated.

Related to motive for such a potential criminal conspiracy, it has since been revealed that the suspected shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had taken part in a now deleted advert for the world’s largest fund, the globalist outfit Blackrock.

The Independent reports 15th July 2024:

“The man identified as the shooter who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump has been spotted in a now-pulled BlackRock advert. In the advert filmed at Bethel Park School, Thomas Matthew Crooks can be seen in the middle of an economics class, watching the whiteboard. The clip was a promotional tool to show how BlackRock can help those thinking about retirement. The investment giant says Crooks did not receive payment for the advert, and they have now taken it down. Crooks was shot dead after he fired at former president Donald Trump during a Pennsylvania rally.”

7) Former BBC journalist wishing Trump dead

Aside from Blackrock, President Trump had many globalist enemies who expressed a profoundly unsettling obsession with wanting to see him removed from being in their way. Establishment corporate media is full of them.

Former BBC and Times journalist, the UK’s David Aaronovitch is one such radicalised voice.

TMZ reports 15th July 2024, click to play:

“Why don't you murder or have Donald Trump murdered? Yeah, don't do it yourself. Don't do it yourself. Have Donald Trump murdered on the basis that he's a threat to America's security, and you could do that now, and you would be immune from prosecution. Yes, that's what David Aronovich posted on X, and you can imagine the kind of reaction that got on both sides of the aisle.”

In response, radicalised journalist David Aaronovitch decided to play the victim, a typical recourse by the radicalised.

Another former BBC journalist, now at my former station LBC, the globalist Jon Sopel has victim-blamed Trump for being shot at.

Click to play:

Jon Sopel: “..said in that clip it’s unheard of for political violence like this in America to happen, uh not true, I mean it's got a long pedigree, four presidents have been assassinated, there have been attempted assassination attempts, their, political violence has, is laced through the American story and this is another episode. I thought it, I mean maybe Donald Trump was in shock, when he was picked up off, you know when he's surrounded by those secret service agents, but seeing him mouth the words ‘fight fight, fight’ to his supporters, now, of course, fight is a metaphor, I'm sure Gareth Southgate will be telling the boys they've got to fight tonight when they go on the pitch against Spain. But for others, it's an invitation. And we saw that on January the 6th. If you tell people to fight in America, there is a fair chance that some of them will. And what you don't want to see is political violence begetting more political violence. And that is the dangerous tinderbox moment that I think we're probably now in in America.”

Other quarters did at least appear to have some prior knowledge of a criminal attempt on President Trump’s life. Other than claiming some form of miracle as Calvin Robinson has done, there is no other explanation for how this man appears to have known a full four months in advance precisely how the shooting would go down.

Click to play:

Christian commentator: “And I saw Trump rising. I saw an attempt on his life, that this bullet flew by his ear and it came so close to his head that it busted his drum eardrum and I saw he was, he fell to his knees during this time frame and he started worshiping the Lord he got radically born again during this time frame, I'm talking, people say he's saved now, but he becomes really on fire for Jesus for what I saw coming. And then I saw people interceding when he, and I see him, I saw him winning the presidency through great, the Lord showed me it would go clear into the summer, great persecution would come on him through the judges, and through the law and all these people trying to sue him and all this stuff. But there would be a stop to it, and their things would start to break free come toward the fall. And then I saw him winning the election through the Patriots coming out and voting.”

We are not claiming that this man was aware of any criminal plot to shoot Trump in the ear four months prior to Trump actually being shot in the ear. We are inquiring how he may have come to know of this precise detail, and whether he may have inadvertently picked up this precise detail about how Trump would be shot, a full four months in advance, from some people in his wider circle who were aware of a criminal plot to do precisely this.

In any such legal investigation, predicting the means of attempted assassination against President Trump with such precision an entire four months before the fact would indicate prior knowledge of the conspiracy. This person would be legally compelled to give evidence and all his communications and associations would be subpoenaed for any sign of whether he was in touch with the criminal plotters. Or we could just close our eyes and call it a prophecy, if we’re feeling particularly lazy.

It is in light of the abysmal and glaring US secret service failures above that we interpret President Biden’s reaction from the Oval Office below.

Click to play:

President Biden: “Violence has never been the answer, whether it's with members of Congress of both parties being targeted and shot, or a violent mob attacking the Capitol on January 6th, or a brutal attack on the spouse of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi or information and intimidation on election officials, or the kidnapping plot against the sitting governor, or an attempted assassination on Donald Trump. There is no place in America for this kind of violence, for any violence, ever. Period. No exceptions. We can't allow this violence to be normalised. You know, the political record in this country has gotten very heated. It's time to cool it down.”

8) As with Imran Khan, same with Donald Trump

It hasn’t escaped our attention that ousting leaders from office, arresting them, placing them on trial and then attempting to assassinate them has been globalists’ modus operandi to shut down troublesome world leaders when they refuse to comply.

BBC reports 8th July 2022:

Ousted from office, arrested, tried, and then shot, precisely this - in the same order - happened to Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan a year ago.

The Guardian reports 3rd November 2022:

This is why we repeat our view that the fates of Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Imran Khan are intertwined as anti-globalist world leaders.

On a lighter note and to end with some levity, here’s an AI remix of a 50 cent track featuring a mocked up voice of President Trump rapping about his surviving an assassination.

AI Trump: “And I ain’t going nowhere so you can get to know me.”

50 Cent: “Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top. And I'm gonna shine, homie, until my heart stops.”

AI Trump: “Go ahead hate on me, can't stop DJ T. And I ain't going nowhere, so you can get to know me.”

AI Trump: “Entered the game as an outsider. Hitted by both sides, even had my house wired. I'm a felon, retribution promised, and I really do it. That’s why people choose a prize fighter. United States, another hostage held by evil forces. This is war, life and death, it ain’t just wins and losses. In politics, of course, the wrong powers be cautious. They tap my phone treating presidents like mob bosses. For others, they run cover lying like bed sheets. Denying the laptop. Well, I get can banned for me tweets. In 30 years, I've been calling it since ‘95. They take it all if you let them. Only the strong survive. They tried to take me out with lies, and now I hear the cries. As they all realize they came to shoot when people rise. It's 47 and 50. You can't be too surprised. I'm going back to D.C. with MAGA on the rise.”

50 Cent: “Hate or love it the underdogs on top. And I'm going to shine, homie, until my heart stops.”

AI Trump: “Go ahead hate on me, can't stop DJT, and I ain't going nowhere, so you can get to know me.”

50 Cent: “Hate or love it the underdogs on top. And I'm going to shine, homie, until my heart stops.”

AI Trump: “Go ahead hate on me, can't stop DJT, and I ain't going nowhere, so you can get to know me.”
