So what are you implying, that just because Trump was not president at the time that he and his inner circle of co-conspirators could not have planned a fake assassination attempt? The official explanation of what happened in Butler last fall never passed the smell test for me and I am not a conspiracy theorist.

2. Of course it was staged, he was not hit by a bullet, and his ear didn't heal itself in under 2 weeks that

… didn’t leave a scab or scar on a 78 year old man. Just like he wasn’t legally elected as POTUS in
a clean election. Just like Kristi Noem being turned away from a bathroom in Chicago was staged
because who doesn’t take an entourage including a camera man and phony reporter when they are
going to take a piss or shit? The whole thing is kabuki.

1. If I'd just been shot at, I doubt I'd be leaping to my feet moments afterward. I'd be cowering on the ground until I was told it was safe to get up.

2. Wouldn't the Secret Service be obligated to keep him on the ground while assessing the situation thoroughly? Pinning him down if necessary.

the video. Without the video I find it pretty far fetched to claim the crane operator was able to
move the flag in that few seconds for a photo op and the SS was able to place a photographer to take the picture.
