This will probably be an unpopular take: I feel sorry for this would-be assassin. Just a dorky kid, barely shaving, that had obviously been radicalized by years and years of the most insane rhetoric imaginable, that Donald Trump was an existential threat to Western Civilization on a scale worse than Hitler.
There are hundreds of thousands of people his age, and older, who are absolutely brainwashed with this. These people have never set foot in Manchuria but are every bit as brainwashed as if they had. A pitiful lot.
Tbh I don’t think it was this kid. There’s another one floating around (reported early) on the internet that’s being scrubbed while everyone focuses on this kid and has a much better resume/history for such an act imo.
