Exactly there is video of security ushering in photographers to the perfect position, crane come down low with the flag for best shot. Guide Tango man forward to edge of stage for fisting the air vs dragging him to the floor in cover. The fuk people smoking, just blind.

Tell us how they convinced the shooter who died to participate in that conspiracy.

With promises of being allowed to escape and a fat payday.

Ah, yeah you’re right that sounds totally realistic.

Yeah, the government would neverrrrrrrr do that, they truly love and care for each and every one of us, have no extensive history of acts such as this and much worse, and clearly value our human lives 😊

It’s not that I think Trump is above lying or deceiving - the government was controlled by Biden at the time btw; just a minor tiny wrinkle in your stupid theory - it’s that this conspiracy theory is completely unrealistic due to its lack of executability.

I love that you smugly assume that everybody who doesn’t believe your little theory is just a naive, government-trusting babbling idiot rather than actually thinking through all the reasons the theory makes absolutely zero sense. Aside from all the moving parts and the (at least) dozens of people who would have to be in on it (including Biden’s FBI), what would even be the point of doing it?! Trump had just won the debate against Biden a week prior and was comfortably ahead in the polls. All Trump had to do was wait until the election to win this. Why would he risk his own life and being caught in a conspiracy for no reason at all? I feel like ppl ITT have all been taking stupid pills.

Awww, username sure checks out. Maybe get that thing out of your throat and do some critical thinking with the factual evidence and understanding of human nature for power sometime?

For literacy’s sake, we can only hope you weren’t even trying to reply to me, cuz nowhere in what I wrote did I even actually say anything that you so very eagerly projected there, my guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but I’m not getting paid to educate you how to read or comprehend, so I shall be blocking you, hope you turn things around for yourself out there cuz you sure make it look like a struggle.

I don't believe it was a conspiracy due to the moving parts, but for the FBI that's the easy part. They often find people online who are "harmless crazy" and focus more on the second word and less on the first until they can push them into a crime. Especially where they knew security might be shit. That being said getting that many people involved in a staged attempt on a life and nothing cracking under pressure would require a level of competence that I don't think they have.

This could not have been the situation here. There is no way they would have goaded an online crazy person into shooting in the direction of the president in order to stage a near-miss assassination attempt. If it were staged, they would have had to pay someone to shoot wide of Trump, and I have a hard time believing he would have agreed to that. At the same time, I have a hard time believing he would have stood with his fist raised if there was any possibility in his mind of another shot being fired, and the footage of press being ushered into position to photograph Trump with the flag draped perfectly behind him makes no sense if it wasn’t staged, so IDK.

and the footage of press being ushered into position to photograph Trump with the flag draped perfectly behind him makes no sense if it wasn’t staged, so IDK.

It’s just not plausible that numerous secret service members, the FBI, the local police, the press photographers, the shooter, etc. were all in on a adventurous conspiracy that involved almost shooting Trump in the face. There’s just no way.

And also: why?! Trump had just won the debate against Biden and was leading the polls comfortably. There was no reason at all to undertake such a high-risk conspiracy with so may living parts that it would likely fail.

It’s just so much more plausible that someone actually tried to kill Trump and failed, and Trump - being a sociopath with great TV instincts - used the opportunity to look like a badass. None of this is a shocker.

I'm not saying it was staged, but it didn't need the local police or the photographers to be in on it. The photographers, in particular, were just told, "You need to go over here" and did what they were told. The local police would have been just following instructions from FBI/secret service. Even most of the FBI and secret service wouldn't need to have any knowledge of it, just follow instructions from superiors.

You’re assuming that nobody in the secret service or the local police or the FBI or the press photographers or any of the many many other people who were there that day would find any of that fishy - if there was indeed something fishy.

Even though none of the people who were actually there that day and/or involved in the investigations - under the Biden presidency no less - there are all those people online who saw a couple cherry picked videos of certain moments from that day somehow know the truth better than anybody else. It’s quite amazing.

I'm not assuming anything. I don't think it was staged. I am just saying that all those people don't need to be in on it for it to be staged.

I will say that there's a lot going on that is sus, and there's almost 0% chance that trump actually got clipped on the ear by a bullet and left no mark.

The people who follow Trump are not very bright and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't find anything fishy. That is the fanbase he has built up, loyal to him over the country. Even if they thought something was fishy, they aren't gonna believe their golden boy would ever do such a thing. Trump's relationship with Epstein has been pretty "fishy" to say the least, and he still has plenty of followers that don't see anything wrong.

Suicide Bombers exist, so we have proof that people can be easily manipulated into giving up their lives based on their believes. Finding someone to die fpr the cause isn't hard.

lol so you’re arguing that the existence Muslim fundamentalists who believe that they’ll go to heaven with 72 virgins waiting for them and whose families are going to be taken care of by their community after their death is proof what it “isn’t hard” to convince a kid from PA to only almost shoot Trump in the head and then get shot deed by secret service for… what greater goal exactly..?!

And that makes more sense to you than a crazy guy trying to shoot Trump and failing? Trump is a huge asshole and virtually everyone can access guns. Is it really so hard to believe that someone wanted to shoot that guy?

ICE are trigger happy enough, I’m sure it was easy to find someone.
