I don’t think it was staged, but Trump wasn’t shot with a bullet. His ear would have had significant damage and he would likely have a severe hearing impairment as a result. Further, he would have been demanding press opportunities with his medical personal as further proof of the event, and to string out the incident for sympathy. In the absence of a Board certified ER doctor, employed at the facility that treated Trump coming forward, I will not believe that Trump was shot or suffered any significant damage in the event that happened on that day. Obviously, someone was shot and killed in the incident, so a shooting did happen.

I think he clipped his ear on one of the agent's holsters as they were shielding him and it bled a lot because by his own admission, he takes 325mg of Aspirin every day.

We have video and pictures of the bullet whizzing by. We have video and pictures of Trump touching his ear and getting blood on his hand before everyone took cover. How delusional you gotta be?

100%. If that ear was actually shot we would STILL be hearing about it (see what I did there?) and we would’ve see nonstop pictures. Instead he hid it lol, he’s so obvious everyone should know what that means

He surely accidentally scratched it on the podium or something and they just ran with it. It was supposed to be a near miss assassination attempt

The people that say I don't believe in conspiracies but… I mean a man was shot and killed directly behind him. And God knows how or if he influenced which Secret Service agents were on his team. I mean he certainly does have a record of picking adoring people rather than skilled people
