All those conspiracy theorists looking for the motive in the Trump shooting are barking up the entirely wrong tree. It was NOT a politically motivated assasination attempt. Remember he had pictures of both Trump and Biden on his social media. This was just a troubled kid rejected by his peers who wanted to go out with a bang -- literally. In particular he was rejected by his school's gun club for being a poor shot. What better way to prove them wrong than by taking out a high profile target and ending an unhappy life at the same time. Trump just happened to be the first such target to come within his reach.
