"So why treat the idea that the signature isn’t his seriously? Why treat the assertions of people with demonstrated track records of lying on Trump’s behalf — including Trump, his communications team and right-wing influencers — as offering sincere complaints on this particular issue?" Yes, why?

I am out of sympathy. Militant armed traitor Ashli Babbitt will likely get a funeral w/ military honors but republicans jeered at the attempted assassination of Nancy Pelosi's husband. Drumpf orders half-mast flags for an antisemitic, anti-gay inciter of violence but not for the murdered MN couple.

Compare the reaction to the news about Charlie Kirk with what followed the June shooting of Rep. Melissa Hortman of MN & her husband. Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he & other extremists have been inciting violence for years. He is neither a martyr nor a hero, but a cause.

So far, NATO playing it cool. This is probably the most tense night since the end of the Cold War. Poland downed Russian drones. NATO's AWACS is airborne. I assume B-52 crews are inside their planes, waiting on orders (UK/Romania) but still on ground.

Charlie Kirk repeatedly incited violence, enthusiastically promoted an extremist interpretation of the second Amendment and supported the use of violence against citizens who disagreed with him — so it's unsurprising that someone did this. I don't condone the shooting — but I'm also unsympathetic.
