116. i think it's fairly obvious that trump can be behind something while not actually doing it himself
Sun Sep 22, 2024, 06:13 AM
Sep 2024

january 6, for example. winning in 2016, as another example. nobody believes he did these alone. also, it's clear to most that he's tip of the spear for both. so, asking the question whether trump is behind the shooting doesn't mean that trump single-handedly organized and executed it A to Z. trump has powerful backers, one of whom is putin. that's why putin's name comes up. remember the 12 Russian hackers that Mueller indicted in 2018 for breaking into US election systems? other people working on behalf of trump broke into US election systems. Understand?
