Buccos is likely correct. The guy probably waited for signs that Trump was going to be there, then sprung into action when he realized today was the day.

I don't think he was an activated asset for the left. I think he was just a whack job.

However, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe the media/left should stop presenting Trump as the modern Hitler, and perhaps we wouldn't see so many attempts to kill him.

For some reason doing that to Trump is okay, but questioning the modern gender movement is equated with violence.
