I don't buy it. It is extremely risky, and, frankly, he doesn't need that to execute his dictatorship plans.

Plus the likes of that piece of shit are part of his propaganda machine.

Right. About as thin as the “Elon and Donald’s falling-out is some 5d chess” conspiracy theories.

Occam’s razor.

Two things one he setup his on assassination attempt so yes I see him doing this one. Two if we dig deep enough might find evidence that Kirk at some point criticized Trump, maybe even about the Epstein files. Which would be enough for Trump to decide to use Kirk as his martyr.

Like I heard Trump announced his death using an AI video only moments after the shot. Since those things take at least some amount of time to setup means they had it ready to go before the shot.

Might look into who setup this event for Kirk to be outdoors. And even the topic he was discussing at the time of his death was gun violence. It's almost like Karma or density. Which is just to close to getting what he deserved.

At the same time his death is about to set off a mass unrest with all the targets being left wing commentary YouTubers and Tik Tok. You name it. Us on the left are about to have very bad time. And the president of United States will be leading the charge. Gives

Trump more fuel to attack blue states. Also he needs to rig the midterms. Any excuse to make our votes against him and his illegitimate.

Clocks ticking we are getting closer to civil war....what will be the thing that historians will point to as the catalyst that set it off. Hopefully not this fucker death but I don't know something will.

I don't bite to the conspiracy theory that he setup his own assassination attempt either. The bullet was real and very close. He wouldn't gamble with his life.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh Kirk wasn't in on this. But a better explanation is with the new photos of the supposed killer. They look a lot like the guy who supposedly shot that healthcare CEO.

What if it is the same guy? We all know Luigi is innocent, so that means that killer been free all this time. Could be.

Honestly, I very much WOULD like there to be a real-world Punisher doing good works.
