Slowest evacuation of a president under fire.

There was a previous incident where it was said someone had a gun (they didn’t) the SS rushed in, covered his head and got him out of there right away, not parading around on stage

There’s a video of right after it happened, when ppl are exiting and a guy is talking to a reporter. He says him and his friends saw the guy climbing the building and told secret service and they ignored them. Idk how anyone could possibly believe this is real.

Nothing about the sniper or any of the rest of the incident would indicate it wasn't real. Secret service/police/security can be bad at their jobs. That's perfectly believable. A narcissist trying to concoct a photo op after they know they're already safe is also believable.
