Perhaps part of the problem is that Trump and his followers see a person walking around a rally with an open-carry AR-15 as just normal. At Trump's rally on the Ellipse as the riot was ready to start, Trump reportedly told the Secret Service to let in what he believed to be his people after being told that they had weapons. Trump reportedly said that they weren't going to hurt him. One or more of those people at the Ellipse could have been like the assassin Crooks.
Trump should add one more: a commemorative ear bandage with the symbol of an AR-15 on it. Some of Trump's supporters in Congress were wearing AR-15 pins in 2023. They shouldn't be shy of doing it now just because of a little incident like Trump nearly being assassinated by one.

Trump showed a box of Tic Tac this week to try to demonstrate inflation. He mentioned Tic Tac on the secret recording when he made his infamous remark about grabbing women by the crotch.
Trump can't discern a tall slim Black man (Nate Holden, who was on the helicopter) from a short Black man (Willie Brown who wasn't on the helicopter). But he uses Brown (who wasn't on the helicopter) because Brown once dated Harris, and Trump claims Brown said Harris is a bad person (supposedly during a ride in a helicopter that was about to crash).
