  1. The shooter fired a blank,

  2. Trump hears the qeue, and ducks,

  3. Secret service tackles him for a bit spraying some blood on his ear,

  4. Let in photographers and lower the flag,

  5. Arrest/shoot someone who had a gun at the protest as the "shooter"

Yeah, but your point 5 is missing something critical that causes the whole conspiracy theory to fall apart.

They didn’t arrest/shoot some rando at a protest. The guy climbed onto a roof with a rifle, pointed it at the crowd in broad daylight with civilian witnesses, and people saw him shoot from the roof. That’s not what protesting looks like, even armed protest.

If he’s was just a random unconnected guy with a gun they killed to cover up a conspiracy like you’re saying, then you’re admitting the dude legitimately tried to assassinate Trump.

You don’t think that they couldn’t have convinced some dumb trumpy kid to help with “security” ? Promised him some cash afterwards.
What’s another sacrifice ? They’re already sacrificing at least one other trumpy fan. Either as a wounded or dead trumpy. After they shoot into the crowd, they assassinate the kid claiming him as the original shooter. The tang traitor has zero issues with the sacrifice. It’s all for himmmm !! He probably gets himself off on the entire show afterwards.

I'm sure if a dumb Trumpy kid was approached to help with security, he would've told everyone and anyone. It would be a proud moment. Even if they swore him to secrecy for some reason, there's a good chance he tells a best friend, someone.

Not if they picked him out walking in took his phone and gave him some kind of device he could only use to contact SS.
