Sure, they staged him getting hit in the ear, what could go wrong
Ok. Here me out. Not that I believe it but I read this more feasible conspiracy theory.
Shooter has been given blanks. He shoots a couple of times before noticing that something is wrong (at this time the secret service is already taking him down). Meanwhile Trump uses a needle to pierce his own ear while hitting the deck, and once he is safe on the ground a second professional shooter takes a couple of real shots to the audience to make it look more real.
Watch the video. You hear the bullet. Blanks don't do that. Also the kid was a gun nut. Blanks VERY CLEARLY don't have a bullet. This is about as feasible as the theory that JFK's head "just did that."
To be fair I have never seen a real bullet in my life, neither a blank bullet. And I don't think I've even heard a gunshots except for maybe a hunter shotgun loaded with pellets. With this new knowledge that theory crumbles easily.
Could've shot someone behind, for glory
counterpoint: it was a rnc figure like bannon or that guy who recently said straight up he wants civil war and it was a win-win situation. if trump dies the chosen successor would soak up the sympathy and if he survives trump gets all that sympathy. either way it's a win for the rnc, and they never gave a fuck about killing innocent people before so don't give me that as proof it's not staged.
I don't think any successor would be able to unite republicans as effectively as Trump did. They wouldn't go away, but Biden might have a shot at getting reelected.
Disclaimer: Biden is too senile, and the rest of the DNC are cowards resigned to a second Trump presidency to arrange something like this.
you can see a bullet in a video
Exactly my thoughts, it'd look the same on camera. Without the risk
The conspiracy argument there is a blood pack.
My personal favourite argument is that it was fighting between Mossad-FSB and Ukrainian-Chinese intelligence. Others wanted for him to get hit and others for it to miss and they're ffighting over it and as a result the bullet grazes Trump. Much more exciting than your argument
Wanted remake when?
Supposedly, he didn’t actually get shot in the ear. The teleprompter was shot and a piece of glass hit him.
Sick of seeing this. The teleprompter behind him? The teleprompter not ever in use considering the very unintelligible hate spewing that comes out of this dumb fucks mouth? Not viable.
look up the video where you can see the bullet
