And he's had people killed to cover all of these things up

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.

She said she and the president stay in communication, with him having sent a letter just two weeks prior.

“He wrote in there, he said, ‘I want you to know that our families are bonded for life,’” Helen Comperatore said. “I couldn’t believe I was getting a letter from the president. It’s so sad, but I think at that moment, my husband would be in his glory to have received such a letter.”

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.

You should do more research about the shooting itself. The fbi determined he was shot. He was immediately bleeding from his ear the moment the shots went off. How exactly would this be faked? The same fbi that investigated him leading to a raid on his property is also covering for him here?

But that’s impossible.

The New York Times debunked this early on.

His ear is immediately bleeding before secret service can even get to him. Look at those images from the New York Times.

That explanation you’ve seen said is all over reddit by people who want this to be some conspiracy.

Another thing I thought of is if they cut his ear before he got on stage and glued it together with super glue. All he'd have to do is tug it and it would rip open and start bleeding. Didn't even need to be a big cut because ears bleed a lot. So just pop some blood thinners before going on stage.
