Edit: his base is going to be insanely fired up now. I’m genuinely scared about what’s going to happen now. I can see it already “the deep state tried to stop him and God saved Trump!” ugh.
I would honestly say the odds it was a failed genuine assassination attempt are slim to none. Doesn’t this feel far too convenient? We obviously know nothing now, but I feel like it’s gotta be the knee jerk assumption.
Trump is a known coward. If he didn’t know this was coming he’d have shit his pants and run offstage. His reaction is entirely unrealistic to the situation and how he is known to act.
For fucks sake he asked for his shoes and waited around for them before leaving the stage. Those are not the actions of a man who is being actively shot at.
We have prior footage of him dippin’, dodgin’ and duckin’ at rallies from noises. You’re right the reaction seems off. But he could be delirious due to his aged mental acuity.

spoken like someone who has never been shot before…
I don’t see why Trump would really need to be in on it. Plenty of people stand to gain from a trump presidency, and I’m not sure an “accidentally successful staged assassination” would be that much worse.
(I hate the source, F this guy) but here’s him being ushered off the stage after… https://x.com/stillgray/status/1812250467071885730

The potential for backfire is massive. Of course in our timeline, Trump gets grazed in the ear. Stop teasing us.

I agree. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was all a ploy for attention so he can look tough, and rile up his base. That is completely on brand.
Edit: Unfortunately, it appears to be a completely genuine, yet failed, assassination attempt…
What the fuck are you two smoking?
Republicans love crying false flag. You should know by now they also love projection.
Nothing. I’m just examining the situation, and asking who benefits.

It’s not about how I’d react, it’s about how he reacts.
yeah, and that’s about what i would expect someone to do when getting shot. The adrenaline and people surrounding you can make you do weird things.

This is the absolute most insane take on this. Everything in the world isn’t some grand orchestrated plan.
Can’t wait for the amped up christian nationalism…
