watching him since the 80s when I first became aware of him stiffing my dad's friend for a subcontracting job, causing the guy to go bankrupt.

Check the reddit video I posted below. I think you're right. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #4

Exactly. Trump is a ruthless psychopath and career criminal. Irish_Dem Jul 18 #19

The wind moved the flag and the camera moved. You can see it. There is no evidence crane operators lowered the flag Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #13

I see no evidence for your position. Whereas the evidence in the film shows the careful Scrivener7 Jul 18 #20

You need evidence, not me. Ball is in your court. With wind & camera movement shown, you need crane operator evidence Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #22

See if you can come up with any evidence for your position, Bernardo. In the meantime, have a lovely day. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #23

I already gave you the evidence and stated it twice. But, hey, it's more fun to add people to the conspiracy. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #27

You are correct. Such a plot could not be kept under wraps for long. JohnnyRingo Jul 18 #21

That's the problem I have with almost all conspiracy theories. NH Ethylene Jul 18 #40

Yes. And they also think tRump would willing put himself in the line of fire of a green sharpshooter. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #41

I like to say every conspiracy theory is a completed jig saw puzzle JohnnyRingo Jul 18 #44

Go get a protractor... Trueblue Texan Jul 18 #49

I checked. The crane did not move. The camera position moved up & sideways and shifted the frame. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #50

yes the camera did move, but if you measure with a protractor you can see the angle Trueblue Texan Jul 18 #56

And nobody moved from their seats. They just sat and clapped. live love laugh Jul 18 #14

They did not just sit there. So now the crowd is in on the conspiracy and paid off? Was the fireman similarly informed? Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #17

Are you? live love laugh Jul 18 #29

No. That's a question that shows how ridiculous the crane operator theory is. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #31

So I will put you down for no conspiracy. Got it. ✔️ live love laugh Jul 18 #33

Nothing I have written says there is no conspiracy. Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #35

Scrivenor7, I went and looked at the video and as least regards the alleged lowering of the flag, harumph Jul 18 #42

There is, but there's a short stabilization of the camera as the flag comes down. In other words. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #43

I put nothing past Trump and his people. The fact that nothing has been released Autumn Jul 18 #45

Why won't they release the "Trump assassination records"? Dave Id Jul 18 #7

They should ask instead about the time he pretended to get shot Orrex Jul 18 #11

As suspicious as this entire episode is, someone did, in fact, get shot and died. MLWR Jul 18 #15

From their point of view, all the better. It surprises me that people think this would bother him. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #26

I imagine the after action report not only would show where mistakes were made but could help to refine any possible Buddyzbuddy Jul 18 #16

I can't believe the assassination attempt was staged but I don't think that was Trump's blood either. doc03 Jul 18 #30

Thanks for this great photo montage. It's just ridiculous. TheRickles Jul 18 #55
