    He wasn’t hit in the ear. The kid was told to shoot into the crowd, Trump made his own ear bloody. Not his first live kayfabe performance.

      At the crowd behind Trump, but not at Trump? And then he got near enough to the mark that he shattered the teleprompter which was right in front of Trump? And kill a guy just off his shoulder?

      Come on, dude. Is it really so hard to believe someone sincerely wanted this guy dead?

      I’m more inclined to believe this was a deliberate hit job (by, say, the FBI or CIA… or OUN-B) that failed than a fake hit job that succeeded.

        Also, I find it harder to believe the CIA failed to assassinate him than that it was a publicity stunt.

        I do find it hard to believe that someone would risk their life to take a shot at Trump. There’s more to the story one way or another.

          It’s no more illogical than any school shooter who ends up killing themselves halfway through a spree

          This guy is no less logical than the Columbine or Sandy Hook shooters
