The market is pricing in a Trump victory following the botched assassination attempt. You can see it clear in Biden friendly sectors hammered to pieces:
SOLAR down 5.5%
Cannabis down 1.5%
Alt Energy down 1%
On the upside
Banks +2.8%
Oil and Gas +2.3%
Trucking +2%
There’s a lot of speculation pertaining the shooter, who he was and how it happened. The disbelief is rooted in the perception that our government is competent. But you’d be wrong to think that. I’ve stated this opinion on numerous occasions and believe they’re fucking idiots, not the hand rubbing geniuses out of super villains cartoons. They can and will be supplanted by smarter people with more vigor. Whether the secret service was in on it or simply allowed it to happen is the only questions that needs to be answered now. There is no scenario where one or the other wasn’t the case: wanton conspiracy or wanton neglect and if the latter was it malicious neglect or simply a matter of morons freezing up when it counted most.
Either way, the net result will be a second Trump administration. Although I previously said “I would not vote” for him or anyone because I didn’t believe any candidate would properly address America’s problems; given the recent events I am willing to be tricked again and will be voting for Trump.
Reason being: someone who survives an assassination attempt might be empowered to do things normally not available to him and might be possessed with purpose to see it through. This development is bullish for markets.

Regrets about it happening from up here. Sure looks like they didn’t care to place appropriate security for political reasons, and the outright gaffs suggest a large incompetance factor. Case in point; the police snipers had a bead on the shooter and even discussed what he was doing, getting ready to shoot etc. together. That should have caused the Secret Service to remove Trump from the stage immediately and until the threat was removed. Hard to believe a proper conspiracy could include that many different people making a coordinated gaff.
The video of the attendees pointing out to the Cops the kid on the roof a couple of minutes before the shooting was telling.The FBI says they can’t find a motive (yet) and that he had no social media accounts. I find that to be ridiculous, a kid that age with no accounts. Apparently he gave a very small donation ($15.00, I think) to Act Blue, a leftist PAC a couple of years ago. Must have been brainwashed early. He should have been out playing sports, picking up babes, etc. , anything but donations to PACS. Talk to his teachers, see what he was reading online, watching on TV and a motive will be found.
The kid might have been tipped off that security would be lapse at the event and to do what he could with that knowledge. Obviously premeditated, he had a plan which would never have been attempted had security been normal. Surely he knew which roof to head for and that there would be a chance.
Exactly. Everyone is questioning whether the SS were in on it, allowed it to happen, or just messed up.
It’s obvious that they set it up because there’s no way this kid would have known that this particular roof would be available to him during the rally.
Incompetence can only account for their misdeeds if there wasn’t a fucking shooter on the roof of the building. Someone had to invite him!
