Look at the guy in the blue suit walk across the screen and moments later he’s ushering them to front of stage. The guy with the gun turns his back on the crowd and lets “journalists” approach (he doesn’t know if they’d be a threat) with cameras right in front of the president who was just shot. Also, there is literally a flag lowering to get in the fist-raised shot.

Finally, for the misogynist poster, there are several guys.

It looks like the Threads guy who posted it is lying, since it has a watermark, so maybe ya’ll have seen it. Read the comments….

Holy crap. It does look all the more staged now. The claim earlier that tiny little women couldn't get Trump off the stage is totally bogus. There were three large guys there who could have easily moved him off the stage. They stopped, huddled, waited, no rush at all. And I'm absolutely astounded that the officer in tactical gear did absolutely nothing, said absolutely nothing as photographers came right up to the stage, and it was SO OBVIOUS that they paused and let him pose for those cameras. Any one of those photographers could have been a second gunman but didn't even get a second glance.

Yeah, that was theatre blood.

Have you ever seen another attempted Presidential assassination where the secret service let him do a theatrical fist raise for a photographer?

Heck, the Secret Service hustled W out after he dodged the shoes.

Something is very fishy here. Almost as fishy as the edited Epstein jail video.

What other time have we seen a group of Secret Service agents that included multiple females, trying to carry someone as old, tall, fat, and uncooperative as Trump? I don’t think they were capable of whisking him off his feet and dispatching him quickly.

Gonna ignore the misogyny in your comment. The fact he was uncooperative during an effort to save is life is part of what makes it fishy. They wouldn’t need to carry him off but would keep him low to the ground while they covered him and got him to the car.

I kind of agree. Trump’s a coward who cares about self-preservation above all else. He’d gleefully let a Secret Service agent take a real bullet for him.

Who knows.

It's also bizarre that the photographers and cameraman are completely focused on Trump and nothing else, no concern about the actual gunman, who for all they know might still be on a rooftop taking aim with more shots and more victims. Nah, don't bother to duck or seek cover. Weird, weird, weird.

I believe it was planned but this doesn’t seem odd to me at all. They behaved exactly as photojournalists do. The action was happening on front of them. That’s what they were focused on. It’s their job. Exceptional professionalism and skill.

There is a lot that points to this being staged:

The weapon was an AR-15. I admittedly know nothing about guns, but does it make sense that this gun could make contact and do so little damage?

His ear completely healed, even though his doc said it was a 2 cm wide wound to the cartilage. That’s the size of a penny. A wound that size to cartilage would bleed profusely. That whole side of his head and shirt should have been covered in blood. And cartilage doesn’t heal. Compare his wound to Mike Tyson’s.

Doc said it came within a quarter of an inch from entering his head. If that’s true, it would have taken his ear off, to say the least! Not just a grazing that healed a couple of days later.

SS did not rush him out and they even let him put his shoes back on and stand up for a photo op. That is not how SS operates. They should have had him covered, out of sight, and in a bulletproof car in the blink of an eye.

Trump never talks about it, and there doesn’t seem to be a major investigation. This is a man who thrives on drama, attention, and revenge. I realize the shooter is dead, but Trump investigates everyone who looks at him funny. Shouldn’t he be investigating the parents, school, anyone who might have known his plan? Holding the parents accountable?

The lack of panic from the attendees. If you watch the video, there is very little reaction. Why weren’t they running, taking cover? Trump was shot and another man was killed right in front of them. Why are they barely reacting?

And Yet:

How would you possibly stage something like that? I can’t see Trump arranging for some kid to shoot at him but barely miss. And a man was actually shot. I do think Trump is evil enough to sacrifice a rally-goer, but idk.

The number of people who would have known about it. Seems far-fetched to find that many people who would agree to be in the vicinity of a 19 year old firing into a crowd, be it rally-goers, SS, or staff. Especially since a guy died, I feel like someone would have come forward by now.

So, I don’t really think the whole thing was staged, but it still just doesn’t make sense. Something was definitely off.

Some thoughts:

I suspect the “2cm” wound - which is quite large - is the result of a journalist mistaking “cm” for “mm”. A 2 mm wound - just a nick - would be consistent with a slight graze from a 5.56mm bullet. Journalists are typically not very good at math, conceptualizing numbers, or checking facts these days, so that seems like a plausible explanation - the reporter confused mm for cm, and err’d by a factor of 10.


The wound itself may have been created by the wake vortex of the bullet - the disturbed air around the surface of the bullet, about .5mm thick, rather than the actual surface of the bullet itself. Or perhaps the shock-cone of the bullet, which is a shockwave propagating through the air from the tip bullet at approximately a 45 degree angle. It would have to have been extremely close, since intensity of the shockwave falls off at the inverse-square relative to distance. You can actually see the wake vortex of the bullet passing behind him in the Pulitzer photo. That streak is the disturbed air around the much smaller/thinner bullet.

The secret service personnel were shamefully disorganized and incompetent. Which is about what we should expect from them, since the other incidents in the past that have provided insights into poor judgment and incompetence and bad behavior on the part of the secret service. So this is true to form. However, they also knew the shooter had been taken out by their own counter sniper team at that point. But they couldn’t have know there might’ve been another sniper, waiting to engage after the initial chaos. Again - incompetence.


I think Trump doesn’t discuss it much because for him, it was a moment where he almost died, and he knows it, and his ego, his personality, his everything, couldn’t have stopped it. For him, it’s too uncomfortable to think about much. It reminds him that he’s not in total control of everything, and it makes him feel vulnerable. He doesn’t like that.


Investigation into shooter? Where is the media that should’ve been doing this for the last year? They’re AWOL. I cannot explain why the NYT or WaPo haven’t been doing a deep dive into every person who knew this guy. We knew more about a plumber from Ohio named Joe, 12 hours after he asked Obama an embarrassing question at a campaign event, than we know a year later about a guy who shot Trump. That’s journalistic malpractice.


The lack of panic from attendees? They’re all paralyzed/confused by the shock of what’s happening. They’re frozen. Pretty normal reaction for people, actually. A few understand what’s happening, and they’re probably trying not to panic so they don’t accidentally get shot by secret service. Which is pretty sensible on their part, given the secret service. Plus, I’m sure quite a few people in the crowd also figured something like this would happen sooner or later, and here it is.



As for the dead attendee, Mr Campetore…. I work with a person who insists that he was a crisis actor paid for by Trump/MAGA, and is in fact not dead at all, but living happily under an assumed identity, in a new place, with a lot of cash to start his new life. Would YOU recognize him if you met a stranger months later who moved to your neighborhood and kept to himself? I had to admit, I wouldn’t. I still think my coworker is crazy, but it goes to show you the right doesn’t have sole ownership of nutters. There’s plenty on the other side of the fence too, and she’s proof of it.


I think the simplest explanation is the most likely - Trump was shot at, grazed slightly in the ear, and was extremely lucky that he turned his head a couple seconds before. Because otherwise that bullet would’ve been dead center in his head.


That’s the simplest explanation.

I find these explanations of Trump’s wound to be very plausible. We have definitely been lied to about his ear’s being struck by the bullet itself and the size of the wound. What plausible reason is there for Trump to refuse to let any of the treating ER physicians make statements about his injury or allow any portion of his medical records from that day be released publicly?

Does it matter though? Even if it were the wake vortex or shock cone of the bullet, that still means he came with .5mm of getting shot. And less than an inch from a bullet tearing through his skull. It drew blood.

We can all agree that counts as “getting hit by a bullet”.

If I winged your kid like that, you’d be ready to kill me, right? Sure you would.
/thread

A bullet’s missing you by the narrowest of margins is not the same as the bullet’s actually hitting you. If the bullet actually hit you, you wouldn’t be fully healed, without a scar, two weeks later. Getting struck by a bullet fired from an AR-15 has more severe consequences than that.

So what? Are you butt hurt because your leader did or didn't actually take a bullet?

I’m grateful Trump wasn’t hit because that would have been very bad for this country and may have lead to rampant violence among our citizens, but I don’t like the lies and coverup surrounding this incident. I’m concerned about the role the Secret Service played, whether wittingly or unwittingly.

Umkay. Let me guess, the 2020 election was stolen and you've been abducted by aliens a few times too. Umkay.

Boy did you guess wrong! I loathe Trump, voted for Clinton and then Biden and then Harris, know that there is no credible evidence 2020 was stolen, and am very upset about the J6ers being pardoned.

I won’t be sad when Trump dies, but I don’t want it to be at the hands of an assassin and I don’t want a random person with mental health issues to disrupt a presidential election.

I want a thorough investigation conducted on the Butler rally shooting, I want the results to be made public, I want better Secret Service protection, and I don’t want to be lied to.

No, I had you figured out. A pea-brain who is just as gullible as the MAGA idiots per your comments about the "lies and coverup surrounding this incident". You said that. Not me and not any person of at least average intelligence who doesn't fall for any and every conspiracy theory that fits a preferred narrative.

So you believe Trump’s ear was actually struck by the bullet, but magically regenerated? He claims to have been hit by the bullet, but obviously he wasn’t.

This was a failure of epic proportions by the Secret Service. They didn’t follow their own protocol. We should know who failed to do their job and, if they can be ascertained, the reasons why.

It was no doubt a Secret Service failure just as when JFK and Reagan were shot. Anytime a bullet gets that close to a POTUS, it's a Secret Service failure even if they've done everything humanly possible to prevent such an occurrence. This being said; we have no clear evidence of the 2020 election being "stolen" and no clear evidence of this being some kind of conspiracy cover-up and therefore anyone claiming these ridiculous things is a complete and utter useless idiot.

You know what we do have a lot of proof on....J6 and yet MAGA are trying to rewrite the history on that. So I get why many people believe this to be untrue. What is sad is that there were two people who died in Butler. A lot of lived ruined on J6 too....thats on Trump and MAGA. Anyone who does not believe what we all saw on J6 is a useless idiot.

We know what happened on J6 because those involved and those close to the president confirmed under oath what happened. No one can dispute Trump's dereliction of duty that day. His own children confirmed it!

That situation is completely different from a situation where a few low-IQ fruitcakes are questioning the events surrounding what happened in Butler Pa. because of the way Trump's ear healed. People died in Butler Pa. because a mentally ill young person attempted to assassinate a former president.

My IQ is 139 and I think that someone who has been a con artist his whole life, who physically threatens or verbally abuses anyone who criticizes him, who has lied and cheated his whole life, who has been accused of rape and abuse, might also hire someone to cause drama that would help him win an election to stay out jail and not give a damn if his plan got someone else killed.

It is suspicious that a man who whines constantly with manufactured grievances doesn’t also whine incessantly about this.

So go ahead and insult us, but this scenario is just as likely as a random mentally ill guy who wipes his entire internet history except for that which implicates him on that day.

Trump, with his very average intelligence, successfully arranged a fake assassination attempt, Elvis is alive, ghosts are real, the 2020 election was stolen, the Holocaust didn't happen....... any other conspiracy theories you want to share? Do you realize how stupid you sound?

Trump, with his very average intelligence, no interest or experience in government, the attention span of a gnat, and who appears to be functionally illiterate has won two elections.

If there’s one thing this lifetime conman and criminal can do, it’s make people lie and do stupid things that will benefit him.

And no, I don’t believe in those things. Also, they are terrible comparisons. Why are you so insistent on insulting me? Why is this personally offensive to you? Weird.

Wow. This needs to be more widely shared.

SS really looks like a bunch of fumbling fools here. They are trained to do way better than this.

The people who walk up to take pics immediately after shots were fired at that stage - absolutely ridiculous. Even if they knew a shooter had been taken out, they had no idea what kind of chaos would erupt from it. Everyone there should have run for the hills. But they didn’t. They stood around and cheered him on.

With zero survival skills too, I guess? Nobody on their right mind would approach that stage in that moment. Very strange that there is hardly any footage of the crowd.

Those photojournalists have been doing this a long time and frequently deal with scary situations to get the photo. Yes, they put their lives on the line for a good photo. They’re laser focused. So professional. There are lots of reasons to think this was planned, but not this. Those of us who know the industry recognize the names of the photographers- they’re pros. Their assignment was to cover the event. They did.

For comparison sake:

Here’s the GHB shoe incident. Notice how many SS react and come out of the woodwork. Someone immediately pulls the shoe thrower to the ground and he’s surrounded. Notice they say to cut the cameras too.

https://youtu.be/OM3Z_Kskl_U?si=R-x3olBSxp7HdLfP

Here’s the Reagan shooting. Notice how quickly a SS guy threw himself on top of him. There happens to be footage of the whole scene. Not just Reagan.

https://g.co/kgs/qfAijrg

Now go back and watch the video another pp posted. Does this look like the same agency? With an additional 30+ years to advance their training?

Nah, watch it closely. Blue suit guy’s immediate reaction was to go get the photographers. He was literally guiding them so that they would get the desired shot. Keep in mind, for all they know, there could have been several shooters scattered throughout the rally.

Yup....watch Regans attempted assignation. Very different scene.

Doc said it came within a quarter of an inch from entering his head. If that’s true, it would have taken his ear off, to say the least! Not just a grazing that healed a couple of days later.

SS did not rush him out and they even let him put his shoes back on and stand up for a photo op. That is not how SS operates. They should have had him covered, out of sight, and in a bulletproof car in the blink of an eye.

Trump never talks about it, and there doesn’t seem to be a major investigation. This is a man who thrives on drama, attention, and revenge. I realize the shooter is dead, but Trump investigates everyone who looks at him funny. Shouldn’t he be investigating the parents, school, anyone who might have known his plan? Holding the parents accountable?

The lack of panic from the attendees. If you watch the video, there is very little reaction. Why weren’t they running, taking cover? Trump was shot and another man was killed right in front of them. Why are they barely reacting?

And Yet:

How would you possibly stage something like that? I can’t see Trump arranging for some kid to shoot at him but barely miss. And a man was actually shot. I do think Trump is evil enough to sacrifice a rally-goer, but idk.

The number of people who would have known about it. Seems far-fetched to find that many people who would agree to be in the vicinity of a 19 year old firing into a crowd, be it rally-goers, SS, or staff. Especially since a guy died, I feel like someone would have come forward by now.

So, I don’t really think the whole thing was staged, but it still just doesn’t make sense. Something was definitely off.

Some thoughts:

I suspect the “2cm” wound - which is quite large - is the result of a journalist mistaking “cm” for “mm”. A 2 mm wound - just a nick - would be consistent with a slight graze from a 5.56mm bullet. Journalists are typically not very good at math, conceptualizing numbers, or checking facts these days, so that seems like a plausible explanation - the reporter confused mm for cm, and err’d by a factor of 10.


The wound itself may have been created by the wake vortex of the bullet - the disturbed air around the surface of the bullet, about .5mm thick, rather than the actual surface of the bullet itself. Or perhaps the shock-cone of the bullet, which is a shockwave propagating through the air from the tip bullet at approximately a 45 degree angle. It would have to have been extremely close, since intensity of the shockwave falls off at the inverse-square relative to distance. You can actually see the wake vortex of the bullet passing behind him in the Pulitzer photo. That streak is the disturbed air around the much smaller/thinner bullet.

The secret service personnel were shamefully disorganized and incompetent. Which is about what we should expect from them, since the other incidents in the past that have provided insights into poor judgment and incompetence and bad behavior on the part of the secret service. So this is true to form. However, they also knew the shooter had been taken out by their own counter sniper team at that point. But they couldn’t have know there might’ve been another sniper, waiting to engage after the initial chaos. Again - incompetence.


I think Trump doesn’t discuss it much because for him, it was a moment where he almost died, and he knows it, and his ego, his personality, his everything, couldn’t have stopped it. For him, it’s too uncomfortable to think about much. It reminds him that he’s not in total control of everything, and it makes him feel vulnerable. He doesn’t like that.


Investigation into shooter? Where is the media that should’ve been doing this for the last year? They’re AWOL. I cannot explain why the NYT or WaPo haven’t been doing a deep dive into every person who knew this guy. We knew more about a plumber from Ohio named Joe, 12 hours after he asked Obama an embarrassing question at a campaign event, than we know a year later about a guy who shot Trump. That’s journalistic malpractice.


The lack of panic from attendees? They’re all paralyzed/confused by the shock of what’s happening. They’re frozen. Pretty normal reaction for people, actually. A few understand what’s happening, and they’re probably trying not to panic so they don’t accidentally get shot by secret service. Which is pretty sensible on their part, given the secret service. Plus, I’m sure quite a few people in the crowd also figured something like this would happen sooner or later, and here it is.



As for the dead attendee, Mr Campetore…. I work with a person who insists that he was a crisis actor paid for by Trump/MAGA, and is in fact not dead at all, but living happily under an assumed identity, in a new place, with a lot of cash to start his new life. Would YOU recognize him if you met a stranger months later who moved to your neighborhood and kept to himself? I had to admit, I wouldn’t. I still think my coworker is crazy, but it goes to show you the right doesn’t have sole ownership of nutters. There’s plenty on the other side of the fence too, and she’s proof of it.


I think the simplest explanation is the most likely - Trump was shot at, grazed slightly in the ear, and was extremely lucky that he turned his head a couple seconds before. Because otherwise that bullet would’ve been dead center in his head.


That’s the simplest explanation.

I find these explanations of Trump’s wound to be very plausible. We have definitely been lied to about his ear’s being struck by the bullet itself and the size of the wound. What plausible reason is there for Trump to refuse to let any of the treating ER physicians make statements about his injury or allow any portion of his medical records from that day be released publicly?

Does it matter though? Even if it were the wake vortex or shock cone of the bullet, that still means he came with .5mm of getting shot. And less than an inch from a bullet tearing through his skull. It drew blood.

We can all agree that counts as “getting hit by a bullet”.

If I winged your kid like that, you’d be ready to kill me, right? Sure you would.

A bullet’s missing you by the narrowest of margins is not the same as the bullet’s actually hitting you. If the bullet actually hit you, you wouldn’t be fully healed, without a scar, two weeks later. Getting struck by a bullet fired from an AR-15 has more severe consequences than that.

So what? Are you butt hurt because your leader did or didn't actually take a bullet?

I’m grateful Trump wasn’t hit because that would have been very bad for this country and may have lead to rampant violence among our citizens, but I don’t like the lies and coverup surrounding this incident. I’m concerned about the role the Secret Service played, whether wittingly or unwittingly.

Umkay. Let me guess, the 2020 election was stolen and you've been abducted by aliens a few times too. Umkay.

Boy did you guess wrong! I loathe Trump, voted for Clinton and then Biden and then Harris, know that there is no credible evidence 2020 was stolen, and am very upset about the J6ers being pardoned.

I won’t be sad when Trump dies, but I don’t want it to be at the hands of an assassin and I don’t want a random person with mental health issues to disrupt a presidential election.

I want a thorough investigation conducted on the Butler rally shooting, I want the results to be made public, I want better Secret Service protection, and I don’t want to be lied to.

No, I had you figured out. A pea-brain who is just as gullible as the MAGA idiots per your comments about the "lies and coverup surrounding this incident". You said that. Not me and not any person of at least average intelligence who doesn't fall for any and every conspiracy theory that fits a preferred narrative.

So you believe Trump’s ear was actually struck by the bullet, but magically regenerated? He claims to have been hit by the bullet, but obviously he wasn’t.

This was a failure of epic proportions by the Secret Service. They didn’t follow their own protocol. We should know who failed to do their job and, if they can be ascertained, the reasons why.

It was no doubt a Secret Service failure just as when JFK and Reagan were shot. Anytime a bullet gets that close to a POTUS, it's a Secret Service failure even if they've done everything humanly possible to prevent such an occurrence. This being said; we have no clear evidence of the 2020 election being "stolen" and no clear evidence of this being some kind of conspiracy cover-up and therefore anyone claiming these ridiculous things is a complete and utter useless idiot.

You know what we do have a lot of proof on....J6 and yet MAGA are trying to rewrite the history on that. So I get why many people believe this to be untrue. What is sad is that there were two people who died in Butler. A lot of lived ruined on J6 too....thats on Trump and MAGA. Anyone who does not believe what we all saw on J6 is a useless idiot.

We know what happened on J6 because those involved and those close to the president confirmed under oath what happened. No one can dispute Trump's dereliction of duty that day. His own children confirmed it!

That situation is completely different from a situation where a few low-IQ fruitcakes are questioning the events surrounding what happened in Butler Pa. because of the way Trump's ear healed. People died in Butler Pa. because a mentally ill young person attempted to assassinate a former president.

My IQ is 139 and I think that someone who has been a con artist his whole life, who physically threatens or verbally abuses anyone who criticizes him, who has lied and cheated his whole life, who has been accused of rape and abuse, might also hire someone to cause drama that would help him win an election to stay out jail and not give a damn if his plan got someone else killed.

It is suspicious that a man who whines constantly with manufactured grievances doesn’t also whine incessantly about this.

So go ahead and insult us, but this scenario is just as likely as a random mentally ill guy who wipes his entire internet history except for that which implicates him on that day.

Trump, with his very average intelligence, successfully arranged a fake assassination attempt, Elvis is alive, ghosts are real, the 2020 election was stolen, the Holocaust didn't happen....... any other conspiracy theories you want to share? Do you realize how stupid you sound?

Well it’s Elon with his high intelligence and low EQ that arranged a fake assassination. Not saying I agree with the conspiracy but Elon is like the poster child of the type of person to organize a fake assassination.

There is a lot that points to this being staged:

Look at the guy in the blue suit walk across the screen and moments later he’s ushering them to front of stage. The guy with the gun turns his back on the crowd and lets “journalists” approach (he doesn’t know if they’d be a threat) with cameras right in front of the president who was just shot. Also, there is literally a flag lowering to get in the fist-raised shot.

Finally, for the misogynist poster, there are several guys.

It looks like the Threads guy who posted it is lying, since it has a watermark, so maybe ya’ll have seen it. Read the comments….

Holy crap. It does look all the more staged now. The claim earlier that tiny little women couldn't get Trump off the stage is totally bogus. There were three large guys there who could have easily moved him off the stage. They stopped, huddled, waited, no rush at all. And I'm absolutely astounded that the officer in tactical gear did absolutely nothing, said absolutely nothing as photographers came right up to the stage, and it was SO OBVIOUS that they paused and let him pose for those cameras. Any one of those photographers could have been a second gunman but didn't even get a second glance.

It's also bizarre that the photographers and cameraman are completely focused on Trump and nothing else, no concern about the actual gunman, who for all they know might still be on a rooftop taking aim with more shots and more victims. Nah, don't bother to duck or seek cover. Weird, weird, weird.

I believe it was planned but this doesn’t seem odd to me at all. They behaved exactly as photojournalists do. The action was happening on front of them. That’s what they were focused on. It’s their job. Exceptional professionalism and skill.

With zero survival skills too, I guess? Nobody on their right mind would approach that stage in that moment. Very strange that there is hardly any footage of the crowd.

Those photojournalists have been doing this a long time and frequently deal with scary situations to get the photo. Yes, they put their lives on the line for a good photo. They’re laser focused. So professional. There are lots of reasons to think this was planned, but not this. Those of us who know the industry recognize the names of the photographers- they’re pros. Their assignment was to cover the event. They did.

Nah, watch it closely. Blue suit guy’s immediate reaction was to go get the photographers. He was literally guiding them so that they would get the desired shot. Keep in mind, for all they know, there could have been several shooters scattered throughout the rally.

Blue suit guy could be in on it, but not the professional photojournalists. No. These people have built lifetime careers being neutral and documenting accurately and honestly.
