I thought it was obvious from the video that he nicked his ear on the secret service person’s belt buckle on the way down when they were piling onto him? It explains the paltry amount of blood that appears only after he’s down, not to mention the optimal healing time. No bullet did that.
I don’t believe it was staged. Everything that came after, yes, lies upon lies, exploiting the situation to its maximum potential, absolutely. But a real rifle was fired, a real bystander was killed, and Trump’s secret service really was incompetent enough to let it happen. No need to invent anything when the obvious truth is damning enough.
Given how pivotal it was to his campaign, I think it’s worth considering how such a thing could be pulled off if it was planned:
People that want to tell stories to drive history need the right characters. Modern information technology makes that easier than ever.
Find a kid who’s into something embarrassing online. Preferably someone who wouldn’t shoot the president, so a supporter.
Tell him you know what he does in secret and you’ll tell everyone, including police, if they don’t co-operate.
Tell them to go to the location where the weapon will be waiting, and to use that weapon to shoot into the crowd behind the candidate. Tell them you’ll provide protection and a getaway. Tell them the weapon at the location is loaded with blanks and no one will get hurt.
When the shot is fired, secret service ties off the loose end without any interaction from the planners, and the kid never even has a name for who put him up to it.
Definitely came to mind while thinking about this. Seems entirely plausible to me. Trump’s campaign had the resources, considering his connections to people like Erik Prince and the devil knows who else. An extremely simple and hard to trace operation once they’ve honey-potted the “right person”.

reminds me of that one Black Mirror episode

Is there any evidence to indicate the shooter was blackmailed?
Of course not. Why would their be?
Then why do you believe that’s what happened?
