I’ve been half-watching CNN<\/strong><\/em> and other media today as I worked and attended to other things, and so I’ve noted reporting on the alleged wannabe Presidential assassin’s<\/a> social media writings, note to family members, etc, if in passing, but it’s all sounded very convincing as to the authenticity of the incident.<\/p>\n

And then I see something like this:<\/p>\n

Two hours after the shooting, Trump, still dressed in his tuxedo and standing alongside multiple members of his Cabinet in the White House press briefing room, said his plans for the 90,000-square-foot ballroom, which is currently tied up in litigation, must move forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s drone-proof, it\u2019s bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThat\u2019s why [the] Secret Service, that\u2019s why the military are demanding it.\u201d\u00a0…<\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah, I’m sure this isn’t a conspiracy.<\/p>\n

But the circumstantial evidence is startling.<\/p>\n

Maybe I need more startle-reflex therapy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
