  • Summary

  • This is episode 58 of The Truth Tank. On this episode, We will be having a detailed look at the events of July 13th. A day that will be remembered throughout history as, the day former president Donald Trump was nearly assassinated while addressing his supporters at his Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. We will begin with an overview of the events of July 13, How did no-one see the shooter setting up? Why wasn’t he questioned/stopped by the police or Secret Service? How did he get as close as he did? And the lack of security procedures, personal, checkpoints and the catastrophic breakdowns in communications all contributed to what unfolded. Who was the shooter? What was his background? He didn’t look like the most robust character or an obvious choice for an assassin. What do we know about him? What is the truth about the shooter? What are just conspiracy theories and rumours? Was it an inside job? When did the Secret Service snipers know about the threat and Why did it take so long to react and take out the shooter, despite the numerous reports from the public that a suspicious person had been spotted on a roof? We will be taking a deep dive into the details of this event, breaking down the timeline of events leading up to the attempt, and looking at the parallels between Lee Harvey Oswald and JFKs Assassination. We will also look at the culture and historical impact of the assassination attempt has had; With the now iconic image of the fist pump and a defiant, resilient Trump. Who appeared to be even stronger heading into Novembers’ Presidential Election. The controversy around comments made by Tenacious D. The reactions from both sides of the political fence, the brief amnesty between Democrats and Republicans. Then back to the old familiar battlegrounds of political life, the campaign to derail Trump, Kamala and The Olympics and hush money payments.
