However, they didn’t succeed in taking out Trump. So, they have reason to err on the side of caution and take further measures to ensure success.They didn't rig the Butler podium to explode when they tried to kill Trump and he was a much bigger target, so I think it's only logical that we use Butler as a reference. The setup there was relatively clean, a patsy and a cleanup crew, so if they didn't need such a complicated undertaking to take out the President of the USA I don't think it's reasonable to suspect they'd need more than the same to take out a lower profile target.
Whilst it may seem logical that Charlie Kirk would be perceived as a less important figure and not justify such measures. We should keep in mind that many conservative leaning political commentators have become more cautious and aware of the risks of harm post the assassination. Had it failed not only would we likely see a similar reaction making it harder to successfully replicate in the future, but Charlie Kirk would be still alive to resist the narrative control around the event. If Mossad is indeed the main driver of the assassination, its failure would represent a significant humiliation at a time when they seem to be preparing for further action against Iran and Israel's public position on the world stage is weakening. There was and still is a lot at stake for the PTB around the assassination of Charlie Kirk who are doing their best to exploit it.
I think given the peculiarities around the event and major inconsistencies with the official narrative and damage of the supposed projectile it is not unreasonable to suspect a greater direct level of contribution from the other forces involved compared to the Butler assassination attempt on Trump.
The prospect of a microphone/battery detonation is interesting, but I think the risk would be too much given how obvious the real culprit would be if people became aware of it. The pager attacks last year and Trump being gifted a golden pager (theorized by some at the time to be a threat). They would have to be extremely arrogant, to think they could get away with this method of execution, though I suppose wishful thinking is their Achilles Heel.
