[Dulcinea]

(NPR) A highly decorated Army soldier who died in an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas left a note saying it was stunt to serve as "wakeup call" for the country's ills, investigators said Friday.

Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, Colorado, also wrote in the note that he needed to "cleanse my mind" of the lives lost of people he knew and "the burden of the lives I took."

Livelsberger apparently harbored no ill will toward President-elect Donald Trump, Clark County sheriff's officials said.

"Although this incident is more public and more sensational than usual, it ultimately appears to be a tragic case of suicide involving a heavily decorated combat veteran who was struggling with PTSD and other issues," FBI Special Agent In Charge Spencer Evans said at a news conference.

The man was a hard core trumper that went out in a blaze of glory in front of a Trump hotel, in the most recognizable vehicle made by a company that is run by Trumps Wormtongue Elon Musk, after writing a goodbye letter saying that suggested the country's leaders on only interested in enriching themselves...but sure, no ill will towards Trump

6. I don't get it

He's clearly a fan of Donnie and likely voted for him, but still felt the country needed a "wakeup call" in the form of an attention whoring suicide?

A wakeup call to what, exactly??
