“Trump was meant to be the premier” — Thomas Matthew Crooks
The recent assassination attempt on former U.S president, Donald Trump was not going to end with the billionaire alone as revealed by FBI investigations on Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin.
FBI investigators disclosed that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman, had been researching a member of the Royal Family just days before his attack.
This startling discovery emerged after federal agents combed through the contents of Crooks’ two mobile phones.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed seconds after opening fire at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, had also scoped out other high-profile targets, including FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The contents of his devices unveiled images of both President Joe Biden and Trump, alongside schedules for Trump rallies and the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Adding to the chilling revelations, Thomas Matthew Crooks posted an ominous message on the gaming platform Steam, hinting at his deadly intentions: “July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds.”
On that day, he attempted to assassinate Trump from a roof just 130 yards away from the rally stage in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The incident has sparked a wave of criticism against the U.S. Secret Service for their handling of the situation. Despite being alerted to a ‘suspicious person’ near the stage an hour before the attack and identifying Crooks as ‘suspicious’ 19 minutes before the shooting, agents failed to prevent the attempt on Trump’s life.
Republican Senator Mike Lee voiced his frustration on social media, highlighting the agency’s lapses in security. The Secret Service’s chief, Kimberly Cheatle, is now facing intense scrutiny and calls for accountability over the botched protection operation.
The idea that Trump’s assassination attempt had it not failed being only the beginning for the 20-year-old assassin is a terrifying thought that should awaken the western world at this moment. As long as there existed one Thomas Matthew Crooks, the chances of there being another rises by huge percentage. A possibility that may not be funny in the least sense.
