The Spin

Although a man was arrested for a number of gun charges, the Secret Service, federal agencies and local law enforcement all did their job in making sure the suspect was nowhere near Trump at the time of the rally. While investigations are ongoing, at least there's no evidence this was a further assassination attempt.

This man turned the media into a frenzy, making them it was a third assassination attempt. Turns out he was just another avid Trump supporter and he just so happened to be carrying firearms in his truck as he always did.
