What radicalized him were the same talking points repeated every day on the left.
Leading up to the 2024 election, Cole Allen repeatedly shared @KamalaHarris and @MeidasTouch posts.
After the 2024 election, Cole Allen believed the mainstream Democrat narrative that a “fascist convicted felon” had become president.

The weak minded look no further than what affirms their self esteem that some are always victims and others are always to blame. Its as sickening as it is pathetic.
Trump should have never gone on this show! He’s already sued them! Why?
he went on because he missed skrewing them at the dinner. he had em all in one spot then.
I can’t tell what I posted on, so I’m deleting it
if you truly believed Trump was Hitler (led to believe that is irrelevant just to make this point) wouldn’t You try to kill Trump? Most people don’t know, Hitler survived about a dozen documented assassination attempts, it wasn’t just, “Valkyrie”.
If you could time travel back to 1933-1936 wouldn’t you try to kill Hitler? I would.
Recall the blond sniper in Saving Pvt. Ryan, “get me within 1000 yards of Hitler with a clear line of sight – and this war is over!”
If you could time travel back to 1918 and kill Hitler in the trench during the Great War, would you?
If you could time travel back to 1890 …?
Any true believer in malevolent state media agitprop has already justified in his mind to kill Trump.
Isn’t that how John Wilkes Booth justified killing Lincoln? Booth fully believed he was noble, a hero.
THIS IS WHY the malevolent state media (MSM) must be punished – I don’t care how!
Leftwingers maintain, ‘Trump is Hitler or the anti-Christ.’ … If true, it would seem reasonable to make taxes >voluntary. … After all, the real question should be, ‘Why do leftwingers want to force people to pay taxes to Hitler or the anti-Christ?’
>>Leftwingers will reach into a ‘Bible’ they never read and proclaim, ‘The Bible must be obeyed.’ = “Freely pay taxes even if you lose your soul as God wants you to financially support Hitler or the anti-Christ!” = Often said by a leftwinger or a lunatic.
…… Just maybe, adamant leftwingers or lunatics should be locked away in rubber-walled asylums for society’s safety. … Nonviolent crazy people are given drug therapy to calm their crazy brainwaves. … The truly violent crazy people are still locked away in rubber walled rooms.
The Goodbook, “By their fruits you will know them.”
The Talking Points in his Manifesto are directly from the Demonrat Party and MSM
He was programmed and brainwashed by radicals and Constitutional Laws and tools need to be used to stop all of this in this country.
New York Times Co. v. Sullivan
Cole is a 31 year old man with a receding hair line living at mommy and daddy’s house. Parents spoiling their adult children is a HUGE factor as to why he is brainwashed.
Two out of the three adult assassins lived with their parents.
watch it with the hair line stuff.
Teachers Union radicalized him, what more do you need to know.
I have no love for the Teachers Union BUT this man was not a teacher. He was a math tutor in a “learning center” probably working for just above minimum wage. He had a Computer Science Degree from Cal Tech but was NOT working in the field – maybe he was a DEI graduate who couldn’t hack it in the real world?
fringe jobs. no pressure. i’m waiting for the sexual deviancy to be exposed.
Translation – loser
Maybe there are no job openings for Americans whether they’re poc or not.
With a degree from CalTech he should be able to get something better than a math tutor position…
And we can add Viking, that the tutor position was only part time. I am wondering who paid for the tuition. Oh, I forgot Biden probably canceled his student loan.
Hence the “public service” teacher gig. He’s been in the school track a long time.
A natural born American black at Cal Tech is such a precious affirmative action DEI treasure he probably didn’t even have to pay for his books. Probably lived on campus. It’s a long horrible commute from Torrance to Pasadena
Apparently $65k salary. A CalTech BS – Mechanical Engineering should be earning $175k – $250k in SoCal
Thanks so much for checking out his salary. 65K living at home could well afford a one way train ticket and a few nights Hilton stay. Thomas Crooks had a job too. Part time kitchen worker in a nursing home. Lived with parents inexpensive community college student. Could easily afford the car that he drove to Butler. Even low minimum wage Lee Harvey Oswald could afford bus fare cab fare and to buy his rifle and bullets.
Best comment on this thread. These old men commenters have been retired so long they don’t know that employers at all levels prefer non White foreigners legal or illegal.
probably a learing center, at that.
You misspelled ‘learing’. (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself 😹).
ted leiu helped.
My sweet retired 7th grade english teacher is a TDS sufferer. Posted on facebook that this 3rd assassination attempt is a fraud to get his White House ballroom. smh
His family confessed to his manifestos immediately. He apparently couldn’t function very well: no job, wife, able to get a degree, have an internship, but no long term job
He is a L O S E R
Book smart, but not reality smart!
I’ve seen posts like that all over instagram today. The ballroom was already moving forward tho…
Other insta theories is that all the assassination attempts on trump have been staged.
President Trump is being exceedingly gracious to the press, in spite of the fact that it has largely been the press that “radicalizes” these violent monsters.
Nasty Nora showed none of that graciousness, choosing instead to act as if the shooter’s accusations against our President in his manifesto were legitimate. Such passive aggressive nastiness is typical of her and typical of the fake news media.
May God continue to bless and protect President Trump, his family, his loyal allies and his supporters.
“Such passive aggressive nastiness is typical of her and typical of the fake news media.”
Ordinary people that are not afflicted with TDS can see that. Our VSGPDJT continues to expose them for what they are, so more and more people “can see the light”.
She has no shame! No knowledge of decency! Typical liberal!
What an odious piece of work is Norah O’Donnell…
And here I’ll stop lest I say something I’ll regret.
Except this…
Ms Betsy, seeing the evidence of your extraordinary insight is most rewarding!
Growing up, our tall tales usually got the ‘Sho’nuff’ treatment.
Cheers!
😁 Blessed be your week,.dear taspok…
At the risk of being accused of male chauvinism, two examples of the worst of womanhood., at least one of whom is play acting….not sure which one though.
O’Donnell feigned naïvety.
She knew EXACTLY what she was doing.
She is no representative of womanhood as it should be. Just another liberal/Dem shill of low to no moral rectittude. Ugly to the bone.
we get your point, but I jus’ wanna say – Vivien Leigh was GREAT! Top 5 actress of the Century.
loved her in, “Waterloo Bridge” and of course, as Blanche DuBois – so heartbreaking in both films.
her greatness is wrapped in the story of how she got the part of Scarlett. David Selznick began filming with the burning of Atlanta scene and had still not decided who would be his lead actress. Introduced by a mutual friend on the set, “Here is Scarlett“, Selznick immediately agreed. You know the rest of the story …
She was great, Ghoul. From the age of many greats, now long past. I do know the rest of the story 👍🏻
These imbeciles are radicalized by their own stupidity.
Yes.
Nasty Nora
tried to pull a MEgyn Kelly.
Foolish… condescending phony Nasty Nora
got busted -bigggly 😎
by the best of the best
Donald J Trump; President Donald J Trump.
-Gosh are we fortunate to have him❣️
-✝️❤️🇺🇸
—————💞
Thank you, Sundance
She was trying to get POTUS to say he crawled out of there.
THAT would have been number one headline!
POTUS crawled !
Winning!!
Trump – 3
Intelligence Community – 0
💯
Yes, this guy’s feat is almost as impressive and stealthy as Thomas Crooks spending hours getting atop a building with a high-powered rifle 120 yards from a President Trump speech. Smells to high heaven.
Thomas Crooks another computer science major. Hmmm
God’s protection – 3
Lucifer’s efforts – 0
FIFY lol
I also thought about that today. Who is to say that very same game isn’t still in use today.
And even more destructive and leathal?
People are still dropping like flies as the result of heroin and fintanyl running rampant on the streets;
and murders, too, of course.
Survey says, many other such things are also quite possible. We can’t pin it all on leftist verbal violent media alone now, can we?
Expecting honesty from government regarding such matters is most likely a fools game, IMO.
Taking our “winnamans”
🙂
I do not like this. They only have to score once.
CBS does not dare to do a “cut & paste” job with editing this interview!
I was wondering if Trump had his own cameraman there like he did with Lesley Stahl. Caught her selectively editing and proved it.
Even though Leslie Stahl is a crap human, she doesn’t have the skillset to edit her own tape.
I’d guess she sat next to the tech and said, “Cut that out here” or “Cut that out there.” The tech might not have had the TDS bias that she had.
Given the attackers reclusive and withdrawn life style …. waiting to hear about psychological issues and about the cocktail of drugs he was taking for those issues, which made him vulnerable to react to the 24/7 barrage of violent messages from elites on Social media, MSM and democrat politicians.
Another ticking time bomb waiting to be mentally shoved into reaction …. with what ever moral and ethical inhibitions he may have had switched off by the drugs he was taking.
One can’t fix stupid, and one can’t cure cra-cra. The boy had a bad combination.
I honestly don’t know how in the h3ll there isn’t a massive investigation into the psych drugs these people are on. I recognize that they are helpful to some folks, but if it is discovered there is a PATTERN of behavior, then they should be taken off the shelf and the pharma companies should be held LIABLE.
Cole Allen is 31 years old and living withn his parents. Is he gay?
bingo. another sexual pervert murderer.
No, just another DEI loser who could not hack it in the real world.
saw his post naming his pronouns,somewhere.
Similar to the Butler shooter, isn’t it?
Crooks was only 21, working as a dietary aid in a nursing home.
Crooks in community college a computer science major. Really pathetic all these natural born old stock Americans naively majoring in computers and tech. When the tech companies hire only foreigners with dubious credentials
No, it seems he had an Indian wife or gf. Maybe that’s why he excluded Kash from his deadly plan.
Me thinks his life journey now will include fissures, prolapse and long-term rectal incontinence.
that was highly insensitive. hahahahahaha….
He called her digraceful….leftists have no self awareness and any means rhat furthers the cause is acceptable. Theyre already making Cole a sex symbol, covering for him, calling it a false flag……and its all acceptable.
True to form, Nora had to bring up parts of the deranged attempted killer’s words against our President
He called her a disgrace. At that moment he should have gotten up and walked away, but he’s too much of a gentleman to renege on his promise to appear.
I loved it when he said to her face, “I read the manifesto, and I knew you were going to bring it up but you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing it up….”
Yes, I’m glad President Trump called her out. But he knows, as we all know, that O’Donnell and her ilk have no shame and no regrets about their vile behavior. She’s ignorant, unprincipled and dull-witted. And proves this every time she opens her mouth.
She didn’t do that to Biden
The words used to describe Trump are scripted, all over social media, especially in the women fb groups..always in the same order.
He’s not a quitter. America is learning to not just take it and walk away, too.
This a-hole. Another DEI admission, high on his own farts, living large and making dangerous plans against boogeymen in his little bubble. It’s sickening.
The so called “educated” among us are the most brainwashed, ill-advised, hopelessly lost in our society. And the most dangerous.
History will record them as the kin of the wicked Israelites, orgy involved golden calf worshippers, partying in the valley, while Moses got the actual word on the hill from on high from the Lord himself.
Wouldn’t want to be them about now.
A lot of people have been given over to a reprobate mind. Best to steer clear and teach of the example to those who can still be reached.
Wide is the road to destruction.
Best to avoid the Sophists at all costs.
Harry S Truman, ‘ Plain Speaking’
Love the way President Trump rubbed the interviewers’ face in her own feces. She’s programmed to not let that phase her, but the inaccessible part of her tiny brain knows he’s 100% correct.
And as SD noted on a different thread:
Once again emphasizing that what David Mamet said almost two decades ago: In order for modern leftists and progressives to continue advancing a radical and extreme political ideology, they must pretend not to know things!
Wonder if her brain hurts from being so stupid.
I think that has to hurt
It’s an antisthtetics, in it’s our class.
Sundance,
Coffee and COVID, Jeff chliders substack, has a post about last night. Drawing chilling paralells.
Coffee and COVID is a good read. It breaks it down for us like Sundance does.
Leaving this link here in case anyone wants to read it themselves.

No wonder the President wanted it to go on. He was ready to rip the press a new one.
Gotta love his determination and COURAGE!
Ha, not available in my country Chicanada.
Hmmm.
Cheers!
You can see a number of clips from the interview on Sortor’s thread.

Thank you!
💪👍
Starting to wonder if this was just another play card in the Deep State playbook to get the SPLC indictment out of the news.
It seems that every time an incriminating topic against the Democrats starts to consume oxygen in the news, some type of national event occurs, which changes the news cycle.
In this case it should accelerate the need for society to start quarantining the radicals, the wackos, the democrats, and permanently removing from society with fast track vetting everyone connected to treasonous activity
I can’t watch her.
i can watch THAT!.
“What can you as the President do”? Really!!What can the PRESS do??
trump did to norah what he was going to do last night to the attendees ,in front of the nation.
It’s amazing how well Trump continues to handle these interviews no matter how stupid and lame the interviewer is. They ask Joe Biden what his favorite flavor of ice cream is. They ask Trump if he’s stopped raping women and children. Everybody has a bad day every once a while, but Trump is on 100% on his game 100% of the time.
Yeah, they never asked Biden about his daughter’s diary when she described her father’s despicable behavior in the shower. Ick.
A beady-eyed little mouse going up against the Truth.
She just had to repeat the disgusting claims that the assassin used as a motive. I bet every rat in DC knows they’re a pack of lies.
I’ve got members of my own family who are really smart who believe that stuff.
Democrats openly talk about murdering Trump and then they act all innocent when someone follows their lead.
I see Trump as trying to reshape the world into trade and prosperity instead of constant wars that we’ve seen for decades..wars that enrich the few at the expense of many. Trump and his family have a ton of courage to take on entrenched, corrupt, powerful people.
Some comments on YouTube are incredible:
“He only cared about himself!”
“I absolutely loved seeing him squirm (about the lunatic’s “rapist, pedophile” comment)
But there was no squirming, except by the dreadful reporter!!
“He didn’t care about Melania!”
“As a woman, I do not know how you can look him in the eye and talk to him.” (again, about the lunatic’s “rapist, pedophile” comment)
And so it goes…
TRUMP Derangement Syndrome is real and widespread…among the Communists!
Commies have got to be amongst the most miserable people in existence.
Estranged from God and indulging in all things abhorrent, they would despoil all that is good in making false idols their god.
you’d have much more success explaining mathematics to a barking dog than trying to penetrate TDS
-not a flip comment! serious.
Couldn’t get through this “interview.” The President shouldn’t be giving these people (MSM) the time of day.
Nora O’Donnell gives a would-be Trump assassin a national bully pulpit for his hateful words by reading part of Cole Allen’s ‘manifesto’ to the President, “I’m no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes!”
She then follows up by asking Trump, “What’s your reaction to that?”
Disgusting to the extreme that O’Donnell frames her question as though the rantings of this human garbage are legitimate discourse and deserves a response from the President of the United States!
It would have been a real kicker if President Trump had said to nasty Nora – why does Mr. Allen believe all those things Nora? You know the answer would you like to tell the viewers how you, many others in the media and democrats who for eleven years have spewed all the lies of lawfare lawyers that have created a hatred for not just me but the Americans who support me.
extra prayers tonight.
Mark Simone, 710 WOR-AM, NYC talk radio 10:00 AM is a must listen to Monday April 27
Jimmy Kimmel just joked this week that Melania was an expectant widdow. It made me think of Hunter Kozak….
President Trump is correct – that show 60 Minutes and that reporter/narrative engineer really are disgusting.
Gotta clone this guy….” you’re a disgrace” hahahahah
“This photo was taken in the Oval Office after the attempted assassination last night!”….
what I wouldn’t give for a similar picture on April 16, 1865 or November 23, 1963
Gee, a lot of Mr. President lead ins to the questions…new respect, change in tone, or just hiding contempt…waiting a few days till the shock wears out then back to the bashing once again.
Are these people for real? Who’s kidding who?
“there is a routine for extraction and team for extraction .
Watch the video below.
They had to ensure the extraction route was clear and extraction team was in place in case of any attack.”….
Whoever that is in the silver dress was to a degree covering him. lol
He used the unguarded staircase. How did he know it was not guarded? Secret Service agents fired five to eight shots. Why did none of them hit him? Who paid for his cross-country train ticket? Hiltons ain’t cheap. Whose credit card did he use to reserve/pay for his hotel room?
He checked into the Hilton ahead of time and cased the access to the ballroom.
Why do you think he choose the WHCA dinner to attack Trump? Maybe he thought there’d be members of the Press that would help him make it all the way to Trump?? He knows they all hate Trump…
I’m glad PDJT told ole plastic surgery face O’Donnell what he thought of her! She is horrible! She and her leftist colleagues are responsible for much of the hateful behavior we see today! 💁🏻♀️
At the end of the Speakers’ post, he said this:
”At the very end of our nation’s birth certificate 250 years ago, our forefathers solemnly proclaimed: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Their extraordinary commitment to America’s cause—even at the risk of their own lives and possessions—was what allowed our country to form and flourish and become the most exceptional of all.
Thankfully, that same commitment is now carried forward by our 45th & 47th President, who has endured the most unbelievable trials, accepted every risk, and works tirelessly every day to ensure that America is great once again. May God continue to protect and sustain him.
Powerful words! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Right before this woman tried to play gotcha with the President, reading the r@pist/pedo comment from the sicko assassin’s manifesto, she asked if this would change Trump’s relationship with the press.
I’d say yes, because after she read that, and after the press’ reporting in general on this attempted murder, Trump probably hates the press just a little bit more.
I know I seem to always be able to find a bit more hate for Satan’s spawn…I’m sure he does too.
Can anyone imagine her saying that to 0bama?
Yeah, ask Obama about his gay lover and fellow cocaine-snorter Larry Sinclair. About how Obama managed to travel to Pakistan with his gay roommate in 1979, when US citizens were banned from traveling to Pakistan. Hint: Obama used his Indonesian passport. Ask the Chocolate Messiah why he has ordered his Occidental College, Columbia University, & Harvard Law School records sealed. Ask the Chosen One why he continues to use a stolen Connecticut social security #, as pointed out by Susan Daniels since 2012. The list goes on and on, ad nauseum.
Problem is: we do not have an independent press. I know that I am speaking to the choir here.
Suspect in DC dinner attack spent several years acquiring guns
Cole Tomas Allen bought a shotgun eight months before the attack and a semi-automatic pistol two years earlier, then travelled across the US by train
https://www.luxtimes.lu/world/suspect-in-dc-dinner-attack-spent-several-years-acquiring-guns/149244777.html
Seems there were other putative attempts on PDJT’s life apart from Routh and Crooks at Butler:
September 2025 – Off-duty policeman infiltrates Trump’s security team
Melvin Eng, an officer with the New York Police Department (NYPD), turned up at the Ryder Cup golf tournament at Bethpage Black Course in New York, armed and in full tactical gear, pretending to be part of Trump’s security detail, US media reported.
It was later discovered that Eng was on sick leave, had no official assignment to be part of the president’s detail and no assigned role at the event.
The incident reportedly led to Eng’s suspension, pending further investigation by the NYPD.
February 2026 – Gunman killed after crashing security perimeter at Trump home
A man carrying a gas can and shotgun was fatally shot by Secret Service agents after crashing his vehicle into the security perimeter of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
The president was in Washington at the time. Police identified the attacker as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin from North Carolina. His family had reported him missing and it is not clear what his motive was.
A comment!
Not to make light of anything but I couldn’t help thinking this sounded like the name of a law firm
—“Crooks, Routh, and Allen”
Might want to consider water boarding the shooter to get the truth out of him.
President OBAMA’s Attorney General (Loretta Lynch) called on Democrats to “draw blood” from Trump supporters. This was the chief law enforcement officer of the United States urging Democrats to injure or kill those who supported Donald Trump. Incredible and ILLEGAL!😡
Always a hit job. Always.
And with eyes full of innocence: “ oh you think he was saying that about you??”
They are not ashamed.
Ugly people.
Intense
Why would Trump waste his time with 60 Minutes?? Stopped watching that trash show at least 10 years ago.
He wants to reach its audience. Every vote matters in 2026.
Too Creepy: 1. Jimmy Kimmel’s disgusting monologue 2.Cole Allen’s “inspiration” to go to the WHCD, 3. Norah O’Donnell’s “hit piece” 4. And the One’s enlightened commentary, a conveniently generic statement with the glaring omission of any concern for the President and First Lady. Do these “communication dots” have any possible connection?
Norah O’Donnell’s ratings on the evening news were so bad that they replaced her with a human Ken doll.
This actually was the fourth attempt. The FIB was instructed to use deadly force during its Mar a Lago raid. They would have said Trump pulled a gun on them and used that as an excuse to do its dirty deed.
Or an agent “thought” Trump was pulling a gun from his bathrobe pocket.
Please tell me this is not the same worthless agent from Butler….
https://x.com/almostjingo/status/2048218752228250045
Yup, short, obese, useless, just like at Butler. At the Hilton, I did hear her scream out a few commands. It is astounding that she still has a job.
So you didn’t notice the other SS agents were all men. At least she pointed her handgun at Allen
