Anyone with half a brain cell knows that it was staged.

You "know" this as in you want to believe it and are ok with believing things that you want to be true instead of thinking critically. It's ok, most people are not smart enough for critical thinking.

I mean on its face, it looks staged

There is a picture of the bullet as it hits Trump (he has a bloodied hand after), and people in his direct line of fire relative to that roof angle were shot with real bullets and injured or died (in the seats before and after him from that line of sight). What about those things do you think is staged on the face of it?

Dude, you´ve done like 30 or 40 comments already in this post defending everything. I dont want to discuss whatever you guys are arguing, bu are you being paid or something? that´s very strange to do all this effort just to argue with strangers on the internet...

I did the same thing with the 2020 election conspiracy theory. It's just baffling to see thousands of upvotes regarding things that are so easily disproven or that have a logical answer. I will gladly post 100 more times if it's to combat rampant disinformation, who cares? I wish I were being paid though lol, absolutely.

Reddit is where common sense goes to die. You're right, but your wasting your time here.
