I don't think it was staged. He and his moron supporters couldn't plan it.

They spent the last 8 years shouting "YOU TRIGGERED! HA HA GET FUCK" and now suddenly, after purposely trying to piss off more than half the country, they clutch there pearls like they didn't piss off more than half the nation.

I have issues with how everything played out. The camera angle on his little fist bump. The bleeding looking weird. The fact that assassinations usually happen between point A and B and never at venues. It reeks of a Reichstag Fire.

I very highly doubt it was staged. Trump's too much of a coward to willingly risk getting himself injured, even for a photo-op. Plus, there's too many things that can go horribly wrong with staging an assassination attempt, especially if there's live ordinance involved, that it's just not worth the risk. And like pjt said, it'd be too difficult for supporters as idiotic as Trump's to pull it off successfully.

True. Doesn't change that there is now a Reichstag burning. I'm worried about the repercussions still.

It is also written that if one strikes out at a king and fails, the king becomes more dangerous.

The assassins have assumed ambient temperature. We'll know more in the days ahead.

Still nervous as hell.

Guy was a registered Republican and was wearing merch from a far-right podcast, my money's on QAnon guy disgruntled about not getting his doomsday.

Seems like that's the case.
