I think it's a slip of the tongue, not a coincidence. Have you been following the legal wranglings surrounding the epstein ballroom? If I read properly, and I do a lot of drugs so take this summary with a grain of salt, Krasnov's team argued that they needed the new ballroom for "security". Judge says it still needs to be approved by congress. So Krasnov makes a big deal how he's going to be at this for the first time as president and whoopsie doodle look what happens. It smells like they took an existing situation and tried to use it to their advantage, but it's too obvious that they are pulling strings and that they benefit from this shit so they don't actually benefit.

It would have actually been more surprising if, surrounding a comedy event like this getting media comments from hundreds if not thousands of people, not a single person mentioned the incredibly common phrase "shots fired". It boggles my mind that anyone could think that a) trump would risk his life for this b) they would admit this publicly for no reason. This is qanon shit. Probably actually dumber than a lot of the qanon shit.

yeah my honest opinion is that all the stochastic terrorism he's been stirring up is coming back at him. this is chickens coming home to roost. when they find out where he's going to be, they come to see him because they are angry he's not their specific kind of fascist.

but dude, let us have our fun.

I don't get the sense people are joking about this... Do you?

I've seen more jokes than serious talk, but i've been too busy to be online.
