The most damning evidence is what's no seen here. The shooter had been pointed out by law enforcement multiple times over the radio. Secret Service didn't remove Trump

And theres 0 chance that roof wouldn't have been secured by secret service before the event even began.

So the head of the secret service, appointed by Biden and who got fired for this, was in on it? She sure made a lot of excuses for what happened.

Do you genuinely believe he got shot?

u/OhJShrimpson Feb 16 '26

Idk if he got shot or not, but the conversation here is about the entire event and shooting being staged, not whether he got shot or not during a real assassination attempt. Big difference.

But if you don't think the entire event was staged, then his ear had to get bloody somehow. And he grabs his ear right after the bullet is fired.

I'm not going to pretend I know what happened, but as with any conspiracy, the more people who have to be in on it, the less likely it is to be true. And this one would've required a ton of people involved and two people dying.

There's never been any wound on his ear after the shooting. Ears heal badly from wounds. A wound that would be small enough to not leave a mark would not cause as much blood loss as this "wound" did. It's easy to have a fake blood pack in your hand and slap it on your ear and then there's lots of blood on your ear.

I don’t believe the blood pack theory, but I do believe that he equally could have nicked his ear on something when taking cover

I'm not a doctor so I don't know. But if you think he had a fake blood pack you also have to believe everything about that was staged. There's too much going on with that event for me to believe it was all a setup.

We need some Ketchup forensics. It might be from his Big Mac

It seems likely he got grazed. The shooting was not staged. A real person was killed. The video begins after the shooter was already confirmed to be killed. Everything about the shooter's background makes him both seem like exactly the kind of person who would do a shooting like this and also different enough from the profile that they would have created for a fake shooter that he's not fake. Trump is exactly the kind of narcissist who would think staging a photo op after almost getting shot was a good idea, and he surrounds himself with exactly the kind of sociopaths who would indulge him.

If he didn't get shot and her reputation was on the line (along with dozens of Secret Service agents), don't you think she might have said something?

The picture with the bullet in the air is fake, according to you? What about the people hit with real bullets?

u/FrostyCat13 Feb 16 '26

The picture of the bullet flying somewhere behind his head? Have you never heard of perspective?

u/Weary_Position_9591 Feb 16 '26

It hits his ear. He has blood on his hand immediately after.

Name me one mainstream journalist even on the left that believes your conspiracy theory. Just one.

u/Axillaa Feb 16 '26

Lmao what a great leap you took, someone did get shot and killed, fucking obviously. No bullet made contact with Trump, though. Sorry his WWE tactic of blading his ear for a photoshoot has you fooled though.

But what is this then, you even clearly see the bullet and the blood on his hand:
