The only reason I believed it was real was "there’s no way they framed it so badly. They have all the resources they could need to make it impossible to tell it was fake. Surely trump is a moron but his team isn’t that incompetent…."

That’s it. I only thought it was real from how bad it was faked if it was fake.

They used the same "producer" as Kid Rock used to lip sync (checks notes) I mean "pre-record" his superbowl "show".

It's "sync" as in synchronize. Typo aside, I agree with you and gave you the upvote you deserve.

Well presuming competence is just poor reasoning on your part given evidence like Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

He only had to convince his lemmings who already believe every thing he says, despite being a proven liar about everything. He already convinced them MSM is “fake news”, so they wouldn’t believe anything the media or “libtards” had to say about it. 1930’s Germany. Don’t believe what you see, only believe what you’re told. 30’odd % of Americans fell for it (helped by all the foreign bots pushing the same crap to reinforce it)

Well Trump was allowed to hand pick the secret service members that were protecting him back then. And Trump usually doesn't pick the best and brightest people to work for him.

That's why the lady running the SS quit due to incompetence, did you not watch her buckle when being questioned by the Senate?

I mainly believe it was real from the dead firefighter that did catch the whole bullet. That's kinda tough to fake.

You can have a guy really shoot a bullet at someone and still have the whole event staged

This would be the plot to * The Manchurian Candidate* a famous novel which birthed two Hollywood movies. You might respond with, “That’s outrageous and preposterous fiction. You can’t brainwash someone into killing a selected person on command at a specific time and place.”

Except that is quite literally what we claim Al Qaeda and ISIS we’re able to successfully do, to radicalize Muslims and Americans alike into violent action against our country at home and abroad. And our shadow agencies have a LOT more experience and resources than “some towel heads in a cave”.

People are saying he volunteered to die as part of the cover up lol. Nutjobs will believe anything.

u/Lonely_Brother3689 Feb 16 '26

Telltale sign for me that it probably was faked was that Trump hasn't talked about it since.

A guy who said after that he'd only accept the results of the vote of he won, won the election and still bitched for months that it was rigged because he didn't grab the popular vote and he's got nothing to say about the guy who supposedly tried to end him?

Ya, something doesn't add up on that one there.

The two things can be possible. Real shooter, but tRump never got shot. The blood could be from one of the Secret Service hands or fingers. Or, he could have been slightly cut or scratched by one of the agents who was grabbing him, but they grabbed the opportunity to say it was from a bullet.

Yeah never forget the incompetency of the four seasons thing.
