I think if you look at everything that his administration is doing, I definitely believe that they are trying to stir up enough shit to get people to lash out, and then they will declare martial law and then we will effectively have a new monarchy in the USA.
Do I really think that Trump would have someone killed just to change the national conversation? Of course he would, without any problem. However, I don't think Trump had him killed mostly because I don't think Trump is running the show. When I compare his first administration to his second, they are clearly not being run by the same people.
Trump is also obviously as bad off as Biden was at the end. He's a zombie puppet that gets dragged out for show.
Even worse was that they would "cut movies to length" which actually meant it was stuffed full of commercials and then parts of the movie got trimmed off to make it fit in the time slot that they wanted to fit it into. I honestly grew up thinking that most of Clint Eastwoods westerns were completely fucking insane. They were just so damn random and often kinda rapey. Then I finally watched one on a cable with no commercials. I was so fucking confused. I thought I was having a stroke. Finally someone understood what was going on and explained to me about how they cut the movies for tv
