OK, another of the zillions of VC-wannabes, unable to go to war in the cause of Glorious World Socialist Revolution, turned MK Ultra (born '66, do the math), did it without the help of the Feds (maybe) and blew it.
Surprise.
He hits all the check boxes, including dumb enough not to be "tactical" in setting up the hit. A bit less Keystone Kops than Butler, but apparently with a source inside the country club (a round of golf was a spur of the minute decision), so this poor dumb slob will be meeting Karl Marx a lot sooner than he otherwise may have intended.
Why? Maybe to put the Trumplicans, growing by the hour, off our guard (he's safe). Maybe to set up something bigger; possibly once Trump is dead, set up an incident to impose martial law (worked for Hitler, after all). Maybe to install Chlamydia as PUS once the lying dogfaced pony soldier buys his driveway back and the body doubles are no longer needed.
I think the polls (the real ones) aren't going to look good for the bad guys after this and the undecideds may start figuring if the oligarchs that got us in this mess want him dead this much, maybe he's really that worthwhile.
Then, as I've mentioned before, martyrs are the original unguided weapon, you can't really control how people will react (just ask the Romans). Killing Donald Trump may get them more trouble (and converts) than they ever imagined (there are enough people in this country who can think for themselves to ignore all the propaganda that all the bread and circuses may not divert them, after all).
Lock and load.
