    Shows the importance of not skipping range time. If someone had trained just a little harder, we could have had something extremely cool happen.

        Could very well have been .22 subsonic ammo. If the shooter had a 3D printed plastic gun, that would minimize the chance of it blowing up.

          With the number of rounds fired, it probably wasn’t 3D printed. I know a bunch of libs are saying staged, but this is definitely in line with the tactics of the far right. False flags and excuses for mass political violence are common. Especially with the new presidential immunity they want to use and know the Democrats won’t touch because they’re allergic to power.

            I’m really skeptical that he would deliberately risk getting shot in the face like that.

              The idea would be that he was never at risk, no one shot at him. He just had a squib in his hat, waited for the sound, then dropped to the floor.

              If he was actually hit I don’t think he’d be acting like that, so he’s definitely either acting or the blood is from being grabbed by like 9 secret service guys and not a bullet.

                Trump is garbage at almost everything but he knows how to get ratings. I think he’s capable of doing anything in the moment if he’ll get attention for it

            Definitely a possibility too. His reaction was extremely fucking composed, all things considered.

                Really looking forward to hearing all the usual suspects like Alex Jones saying this was a fake shooting. That’ll happen for sure.

              also they went for the head, a fake shooting doesnt aim for the head and only barely miss

                Yeah, it would have to be something like the pro wrestling move of him applying blood to his own ear, which seems really unlikely. I think it’s much more likely that somebody just missed by a hair.

                Sure, you care about weird shit when you’ve just survived a near death experience. You think things like “don’t wanna be barefoot when the adrenaline rush kicks down”

                  That is what I was suggesting. Nobody stages an event like that and thinks including “Wait let me get my shoes” is a good look.

            The secret service was slow to take him down too. Obvious shots ring out and they wait until they see trumps ear bleeding to move. It’s too early for crazy suspicion, but my initial thought is its pretty sus

            Sorry, I saw it on a stream and forgot who the tweet was by. News hasn’t said “he was shot” though just that he is injured, so there isn’t confirmation yet that it was a bullet that hit him.

                People were saying from the teleprompter? But ya, it’s a chaotic seen and hard to know. All he could tell was sound of bullets followed by something hitting his ear.

                It only matters because if it was a bullet, that fucker missed by only an inch. If it was by glass from nearby then they weren’t that close to actually killing him
