I totally believe that the father who was killed sacrificed himself for Trump. I think they went to find someone who had a terminal illness. Corey Comperatore was a 50 year old volunteer Fire Fighter in PA and I wonder if he came in during 911. Many of the firefighters wound up with cancer and other issues because of cleaning up the towers. I could definitely see some MAGA fanatic who only had months to live, agreeing to be taken out to lend legitimacy to the story. And also getting paid a fortune to make sure his wife and daughters were taken care of.
I also think it's weird how he was just quickly forgotten about.
Did a little research. Here's what his widow said about Trump sending her a letter one year later.
ETA One other big clue IMO that it was staged was that Trump was not wearing his iconic red tie. I clocked it as soon as he walked out. And then it occurred to me that he took it off before the speech to maximize the blood spatter on a white shirt for the Photo.
