Didn't see this when I made my comment but yeah. Reeks of the reagan playbook
Trump’s pretty crazy but I don’t think he’s “plan to intentionally get grazed by a bullet” crazy.
Did you just wake up from a 50 year coma, trump is absolutely that crazy. But the question is where would he get the acting skills required for this dramatic reality style theater? Maybe if he has several years experience in tv or been in movies or in a fake sport who pretends people get hurt with a chair and uses fake blood?
I don't think it's staged.
He's f'ed up so many lives and brought racism back that it's a surprise it took so long
He's promised to be a dictator. But, he's more than that
He's Hitler 2.0 and he has also promised that immigrants will suffer too
This was done by an actual bullet. Other people present were also shot.
Fatally
Ask yourself. What motive does someone have to want trump dead?
Hint: a large number of someones have a large number of motives
I think Nancy was the one who had a relationship with the shooter...
The whole thing just feels a little hinky to me, but I agree with you in doubting that trump planned it. That said, keep an ear out for lines from ronnie's speeches
If you are gonna fake something like this, you wouldn't actually shoot a bullet, you'd use a blank and some tiny blood pack like they use in movies.
