2. You're aware that I think it was fake

People were predicting early in this month that there would be another "assassination attempt." His polls are in the toilet. He has no way out of the war he started.

But what I think is not important. What is important in my view is that everyone knows he *would* fake an assassination attempt. Of course he would. He would tell any lie to stay in power.

Hell he lied and said he didn't fall when we all saw the video of him falling. He also said in the same interview that he was not a pedophile or rapist, and we all know he is. He is not capable of telling the truth, not even for a moment.

We can't trust anything he says or does.
