You can ask him, if you’d like…

The working theory is that he was part of Project 2025, and felt betrayed (as all of Trump’s former supporters have been) when he disavowed himself of involvement in it (as he pretty much had to since it was terrorism).

It’s a stupid pattern. Trump claims he supports X with no plan to support X, then when talking to X’s opponents, says he opposes X; then does nothing either way unless it benefits him. Millions of people are only slowly figuring this out.

Let me just pull out my Ouija board, though I've never been the best with it...

A 20 year old community college student was "part of" Project 2025? In what context do you mean here?

Like I said, I suspect the 20 year old community college student that had voted as a Republican in exactly one election and made exactly one small donation to a Democrat PAC was probably not stewed into a murderous rage against the presidential candidate that is the de facto cult leader of the party he was registered as for political reasons.

Supposedly his final social media post was a message on Steam reading: "July 13th will be my debut, watch how it goes" That feels much more like chasing notoriety than a political manifesto.
