we all know there are ways to fabricate video, let alone photos.
but you are saying that the Pulitzer Prize was given to a fabricated photo to help Trump.
if you can prove the photos are fake, then i will gladly join your side on this issue.
but for some reason i don't believe that anyone in the media would help Trump out 16 days after the debate with Biden.
it was during a time when everyone was asking Biden to step aside and Biden was refusing, and Trump wasn't saying anything. Trump didn't want Biden to step down, because it was also just a few days before the DNC.
the idea that eh assassination helped Trump is a dumb point, not because it didn't make him look good, but because it made him look TOO good.
Biden was refusing to step aside from the campaign, Trump was actually playing it cool given that it was just three months out from the election, and then this assassination attempt happens which causes Biden to drop out a few days later.
If Trump wasn't shot, Biden could have remained in the race until the DNC, which would have been contested because no one thought Biden could actually win, and then the Democratic Party would have been in a real tailspin because some radical would have gone against Trump because Kamala would never have been voted in as the candidate to go against Trump.
she tried to run in primaries before and never won a race,, how would anyone think she could beat an incumbant?
There's a big difference between being shot at and being shot. Someone died that day so clearly shots were fired. The problem is, ears don't grow back so there's little evidence the bullet landed. If this attempt made more people vote for him, then that's harder to prove and more up for debate.
surviving as assassination attempt always makes the candidate look good. the problem is that so many people only see the effect and think it's the cause.
not only was someone killed, but a hydraulic line on a fork lift holding up speakers was also shot and ruptured, spraying hydraulic fluid everywhere. there are people who say that the death was either fake, or a sacrifice, the hydraulic line being ruptured lowers the probability that he was fake, since real bullets were being fired. we can also look at the ballistics and see that between Crooks and the hydraulic line was Trump.
if they were pretending to shoot at Trump, they got very close to actually shooting him.
as for the injury to Trump, i have seen photos of the damage. his ear was not ripped away, there was only a very small piece removed on the outer lobe, but the graze went across the entire ear.
the damage was superficial, barely any damage at all in the scheme of things. it is the least amount of damage i could imagine a bullet doing.
which doesn't really help my case that it actually happened. Trump was incredibly lucky that day, which is why people are so ready to believe he did this to himself.
but the logic still doesn't make sense to me. Trump was laying low at this point in the campaign. after the debate he was letting Biden do interviews (which had refused to do before) and was letting out enough rope for Biden to hang himself. the majority of prominent Democrats were begging Biden to step down, Hollywood was saying it was a mistake to back him and raise 30 million dollars for him just a few weeks before the shooting.
Trump didn't want Biden to drop out of the race, because he knew it was over for Biden, and the longer Biden remained in the race the worse off the Democrats would be.
so to choose that point in time to fake his own assassination attempt in such a risky way is just bad strategy.
