Current possible meanings of "the tower is everywhere", I offer boldly while trembling....

[J K Van Nort]

I'm not convinced that former President Trump, or any politician, would agree to have someone shoot at him and nick his ear. When the shooter appears to be a 20-year-old with no military training, I really question the 'staged' concept. 

However, I do agree with David that the Secret Service (SS) should and would have had someone on that roof, have considered that roof a viable position for an assassin, and they would have covered it by protocol. Why didn't they? Did the former president tell them to stand down, as he did on January 6th? It reminds me of their failure to whisk GWB out of a classroom that had been published as his location. That would have been standard protocol I would think with an actual attack occurring. I do think the candidate made lemonade out of the situation by being so "defiant", but I don't think this was planned or staged.

I'm less concerned about its impact on the election than on the violence that this act unleashes. 

As to the "bad America"/tower is everywhere premise, I agree that this represents the darkest nature of our collective soul.

In solidarity,
James
