The assassin of Trump has been exposed to an important piece of information. In the early morning of July 14, Beijing time, Thomas· Matthew ·Crooks, a 20-year-old United States man, shot former President Trump of United States who was about 150 meters away from him and was giving a campaign speech on the roof of a house in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Subsequently, Trump was wounded in his right ear, and Crookes was killed directly by United States Secret Service snipers. Why did he assassinate Trump? Judging from the latest reports in the United States media, this answer is still a mystery, because Crookes has no previous criminal record and was even awarded a $500 science and engineering scholarship in middle school. So far, the United States FBI has not been able to find key information from his social media accounts and emails that could determine his motive for the crime. His political leanings are also vague, and although he is registered as a Republican voter, he has also donated money to organizations under the Democratic umbrella. According to reports from the Associated Press and United States Colombia Broadcasting Corporation, Jason · Khloe, who was a middle school classmate with Crooks, revealed that Crooks, who only graduated from high school two years ago, was a victim of school bullying and was ruthlessly bullied at school because of his looks and outfits, and such bullying "happens almost every day." As a result, Crookes is often ostracized, often sitting alone in a corner at lunch, Kohler said.
