Some noted that the circumstances of the shooting seem implausible, given the level of security that follows the president.

Exactly the case as in Butler.

What Butler and Washington proved is that even rank amateurs can get close enough to Trump to be a real threat.

This implies:

1) They had help from the inside

2) They were never actually a real threat

One of the implications of MAGA turning against Trump in Butler is that they now consider it possible that he would murder a man or two as part of a staged assassination attempt.

Well, they're right.
