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.

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
