Trump Assassination Foiled, Deep State in Panic Mode!
2021-02-02
[RealRawNews] On Tuesday morning at approximately 3:00 am, a sniper’s bullet struck a panoramic casement window on the east wall of Trump’s bedroom at his Mar-a-Lago estate. The round might have slain Trump had he not recently replaced tempered glass with Blast Structures International’s bullet resistant glass, which, according to the company’s website, can stop anything less powerful than a .50 round.

A confidential source within Trump’s inner circle told Real Raw News that Trump was asleep in bed, and, a light sleeper, was awakened by the “sharp crack” of the bullet striking glass. The round did not penetrate the glass, but caused a material-science dissipation fracture, or spiderweb pattern.

The strike, our source said, triggered a silent alarm that instantly notified the Palm Beach Police Dept. and Trump’s Secret Service Detail, which sleeps in a guest house ten yards from the main building. Agents whisked Trump to safety, escorting him to a fortified saferoom, and said they’d coordinate with local authorities.

#19  An absence of evidence is not evidence of absinthe... or something.

#18  SO nothing in the media anywhere for a week? Something smells about this, an attempted assassination of a former President cannot be buried that completely?

OTOH, Have you read a Hunter Biden story recently?

#16  In conclusion, Real Raw News pieces will no longer be published here, along with Principia for Covid stories.

Thank you for your feedback, guys.

#15  Look at some of the other stores on the site. This kind of thing is what gives conservatives a bad name. Tinfoil hat stuff. Network of safehouses, Thousands of inditements? I might suspect the Democrats set this up as an example of 'conspiracy theory site' or just to mess with us.

#14  I assumed this was fake. I seriously doubt Trump would say don't get the cops involved as well. And if it was real, WHY would you explain what the glass is rated to stop so that next time someone upguns to get through it? That right there seems suspicious.

#13   The article Byline is 30 Jan 2020, and it references the event as last Tuesday, which makes this event the 26th of January.

Good catch, NoMoreBS, especially once you corrected your typo. ;-) I’m going to add the Salt Girl image — I think we need to consider Real Raw News rumour intelligence rather than a solid source for information. Please do not post anything more from this site.

Incidentally, Blast Structures does sell bullet proof glass, but they don’t call themselves Blast Structures International on their website, the common sign of hoax information. So unless someone here who knows them corrects my assumption, I have to assume this is a fake — hopefully not done maliciously by the website to rile up the Deplorables.

Not linking to the original news source is also a hint, as is an anonymous source within the inner circle. We ream MSM articles all the time for the latter.

Please check your sources with a skeptical eye, guys, especially any with exclamation points in their headlines.

#9  There I was, on New Year's Eve...

With a thousand Orleanians gunning
For moi, whether careless or cunning...
As lead all around
Fell like hail on the ground,
I survived, thanks to serpentine running!

#8  Wouldn't his death make a martyr out of him? Even if the Demedia blamed the white supremacists?

#7  A drunk idiot firing over his friends head with no idea of his weapons range or what is downrange combined with really bad luck in where the bullet finally came down seems more likely than a helicopter based sniper.

#6  Just like election fraud, if it is not on the nightly news then it never happen.

With that said the article speculated about a helicopter why not a drone?

#5  Bullet fragments from wedding celebration gunfire some time in the past, Trump got woken by a bird hitting the window?

sounds like an infomercial to me.

A few issues with the initial leaked info.

1. 7mm Mag rd is the same size as 7mm (.284) and comes in weights ranging from 110 grains to 190+ grains according to my Nosler, Sierra and IRM 43## reloading Manuals. So how was it determined to be a 7mm Mag w/o a shell casing? The only way to know for certain, is the Shell casing neck is different.

2. Was it an APC (Black tip round?) If it was that is damn good ballistic glass in those windows.

3. There are actually 3 WAYS this could be done, not two. Think Remotely Operated Drone.

4. There are number of other "civilian" things between 7mm and 50 cal that could poke a hole in many Ballistic protective glass windows. I say "civilian" because if it were Deep State they would use sterile weapons and means by following well established covert operational guidelines.

5. Timeline, SS detail and Private security detail and etc... issues also. Which I cannot go into.

Summary:
Sadly I think we can expect to see more future attempts, as the MSM, Social Media and Deep State types fear grows. Trump has way too much insider knowledge of those that engaged in Treasonous / Subversive actions and their "outside" personal $$$$ Anti-US interests. An they have $$ Millions to plot and scheme.

I am sure many of us also expect the Socialist-Democrats will have a number of STAGED attempts. All to promote their restrictions of additional personal freedoms, by public incited knee jerk clamp down orders.

#1  But Trump demanded they call the Palm Beach Police Dept. and say it was a false alarm. “Trump was adamant no police get involved,” our source said. “He told his guys he wants to keep it in the family. No law enforcement. No media. He was very stern about keeping the media blind to the event. Trump made a phone call, and inside of thirty minutes, some heavy-hitting dudes who were definitely not Secret Service arrived at the estate,” our source said.
