    With evidence, please. “I reckon” is not good enough. There is no evidence that anyone coordinated this at all.

    Like fuck Trump, but if they staged it why would the shooter be a disaffected conservative and not some antifa supersoldier or whatever? Like they’re playing out their fantasies and apparently they can construct whatever reality they feel like, why muddy the waters in any way?

    I’m sorry, the reality in which the dude just sucked, the secret service kind of suck at their job, and the bullet grazed Trump’s ear rather than going into his brain from sheer dumb luck is a messy, shitty, scary place where nobody really calls the shots, but it turns out that’s probably the one we live in.

        Also, I just want to add: they picked an easily manipulated, disposable kid, and told him to shoot near but not hit Trump? Is that the story you’re going with?

        Or what, there was no bullet, the injured people in the crowd were actors, they killed that guy later, the photo of the bullet was manipulated, and they just made sure they got to the shooter first to replace the blanks with real rounds?

        Your theory either relies on the hypercompetence of a disposable kid to not actually kill Trump, or you’re enlisting a lot of extra people who all have to be kept quiet now, forever, all for the sake of a single moment of manufactured drama.

        Which one is it? Or is there a secret third option?

            It bled, there are photos of it bleeding. We have all seen it.

            A wound like that doesn’t need to leave a big scar. Sure, some doctor might have been lying about the “2cm wide wound” but that’s not surprising at all. We know they’re liars and there will be misinformation around the event, but that doesn’t mean the wound didn’t exist. Head wounds bleed a lot even if they’re very small.

            You don’t have anything except a tendency to confirm your pre-existing beliefs.

      Thankfully I am not a seated judge so I do not have to base my opinions only on concrete evidence

      Everything about the 1st attempt screams false flag

        Cool story but nobody has to listen to you if you can’t be bothered to substantiate anything.

        Conspiratorial thinking is evidence of and leads to very disordered thinking. You can carry on with it if you want, I’m not your cult leader and I don’t have any say in how deranged you get.
