Remember... Trump is a business man first. If he is making a deal there WILL be something coming on the back end.

For him or the country?

I am hoping for the country but we are talking about humans and we all know how selfish we can be.

Do you guys really believe that Kirk got shot with a .30-06 and there's no exit wound? I find that hard to believe. There's a lot that doesn't make sense, once again.

Always for him, even if it's at the expense of the country.

Because when you live in an unethical world such as the left does you just assume EVERYONE is doing wrong.

Yeah, the FBI engineered a sting to catch him doing something legal.
Next up, they are going to create one to catch a guy getting a volume discount for buyng 2x the raw materials he normally does.

That's what the FBI does: They catch people doing legal stuff

Given the location the shot was taken from, and where Kirk was sitting, could the entrance and exit would have become one thing as the flesh was torn away? Especially the soft tissue of the neck area.

From what I've seen like officially is the the bullet went in the neck, hit a vertebrae, bounced downwards inside the body, then bounced back up in his body and never left. I just don't see how. I've hunted, I've got about 6-8 deer under my belt, including 2 decent 8 points over 150 pounds, when I was much younger, I grew up around tons of bolt actions murdering deer at a hunting camp. I used a .243 but many had a .30-06 and it's just a powerful round fired from a long barrel and that's a lot of velocity, 200 yards away is not much distance for that round, you know back in ww2 there were still planes that used .30 cals to shoot other planes down in dogfights. Idk that just doesn't make sense to me what the round supposedly did after it hit the neck, seems like it would go straight through regardless of hitting bone or not, especially if it was a fmj, solid round.

Surgeon calls Charlie Kirk ‘man of steel’ — reveals ‘miracle’ factor that likely prevented more from being hurt

“Even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives of those around him. Remarkable. Miraculous,” said a Turning Point USA spokesman.

I'm not buying that Kirk was a super solider or super man with bone density. Idk that just is weird to me. My .243 one time blew out 4,5,6 ribs on the exit wound of a whitetail. I've shot deer in the spine with a .243 myself and it went though the spine like it was nothing. I mean bullets do weird shit sometimes but the fact they act like he's Superman throws me off it just seems off.

Then like this guy Rob, you have to come up with conspiracy theories.

Is there any paperwork on how the bullet entered Charlies body?

The other problem is they have all this footage and idk the whole shooter thing without his gun doesn't make sense. They have all this video it seems but never have one of the shooter with the gun in his hands. That gun is like 3.5-4 ft feet long lol. I'm not trying to obsess over it, it just like doesn't make sense how they say he had the gun and dismantled it left it in the woods. Idk seems really conflated and fluffed up
