In September 2016, Jimmy Fallon tousled Trump's hair during an interview and was roundly castigated by the rest of the leftist cult for "humanizing" him. For me, this is the point at which they started telling unashamed lies about Trump. Thomas Matthew Crooks would have been 12 or so, and would have heard, for the following 8 years of his short life that Trump deserved to be executed, that Trump was Hitler, that Trump was evil, the Trump had to be stopped by any means necessary.
Like Greta Thunberg, this poor child was a vessel for the lies and hatred and fear that were poured into him.
Edited to add: one of the commenters makes a valid point that's worth mentioning. 4chan is a notoriously unreliable source. Take this with a grain of salt
