    If it was staged I’m absolutely certain Trump didn’t plan or know about it, he’d never sign off on anything that risked his life or required him to be even slightly injured. It’s unlikely but the only conspiracy scenario that makes any kind of sense would be something like a CIA operation carried out under the orders of Vance or a senator that kept Trump in the dark.

      If Trump doesn’t know about it, how do they do the blood on the ear? Not even elite marksmen can reliably hit someone’s ear at that distance without risking actually hitting their head. If it were fake blood, Trump would have to be in on it.

      And again, the shooter being right-wing almost entirely negated the propaganda advantage the GOP could gain from it, it doesn’t make sense for it to have been staged.
