Thomas Crooks, the man behind the attempt on Donald Trump’s life, had been exhibiting disturbing and erratic behavior long before the incident. Reports indicate he was seen conversing with imaginary figures and dancing alone in his bedroom. In the weeks leading up to the July shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, he had even looked up details related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
A comprehensive report from the New York Times compiled information from law enforcement interviews, online activity, and records from Crooks’ past, painting a troubling picture of his deteriorating mental state in the year before the attempted assassination.
