I don't know what's going on but I wouldn't be surprised for it to be a setup from the RNC to help drumph win the presidency.
People need to stop with ridiculous conspiracy theories. You've become what you hate
At this point, is that really so far fetched?
I don't even mind if people speculate... but to be clear, there's zero evidence of that right now.
The problem is that even with evidence I'm not sure I could believe it's true of false.
This is completely idiotic. Trump almost got his head blown off, mere millimeters to rhe right and he would have had his head blown off.
Can you imagine such a thing? I know I can.
Some are reporting that he was hit by glass from the teleprompter rather then a bullet. Not sure how true that is.
Can't keep the story straight. First it was a bullet and since no one is buying that it becomes a glass fragment from a magic bullet.
Because he can't just be shot at for being a terrible person / president? That's less realistic than a conspiracy?
It's the US, everyone can get randomly shot for anything.
The land of opportunity
Honestly, one of my first thoughts was that it was a stray bullet from an unrelated drive by or something.
In case you've ever wondered what's going on in the minds of Q-Anons, now you know.
I thought that too before seeing the video. I thought that maybe the wound to the ear was because of something else, but after seeing it it seems to me that only the bullet could hit him there. A setup involving the shooter shooting only his ear would be waaaaay too risky.
My first thought was staged. Lying liars lie and train us to look for the lie.
Do you have any idea how hard it would be to reliability graze someone’s ear with a bullet?
They are saying now it was a glass fragment. Story keeps changing.
