From my initial feelings, it looks staged. I don't think that Trump was shot at all. They could have easily used a blood packet or even a razor blade to cut his ear WWE-style while he was covered. There didn't appear to be any wound on the ear from what I could see.
There are many other things that point to it being a staged event IMO.
1. Many people alerted police and Secret Service minutes before about a suspicious person with a rifle on the roof and they did nothing.
2. Secret Service moving people out of the area behind Trump moments before the shooting.
3. The SS allowing Trump to rise up and reveal his head and fist (perfect photo op) rather than keeping his head down and rushing him to the car.
I'm sure there is more, but I'm only loosely following the story. I decided long ago that it was all theatrics. 😉
it's not about odds. if the 20 year old was really the sniper, he was not experienced. but it's VERY hard to graze someone intentionally at that field distance. it's much easier to kill them dead. So if he was grazed, it really had to be an accident
Two questions Eric, did Trump also get shot in the chest? I saw pictures yesterday where there seemed to be a bullet hole in his jacket.
Who was the lady to Trumps left in the stands that pulled out her phone and started filming everything who didn't seem scared at all. She had on a white top and sunglasses. I don't know about you but if I hear gunfire I am getting to cover somewhere!
I spoke to a 25+ year veteran yesterday and he said any elevated position should have been ABSOLUETLY covered especially in such a short range with a rifle. That short of a distance it is amazing the guy missed to be honest. I spoke to a police officer last year and he told me with a red dot scope on his pistol, he practices at 80 yards on the firing range. So, a rifle, for example, an AK47, I believe the effective ranger is 300 to 400 yards so this would be an easy shot for most rifles with a decent scope. I believe a normal rifle range, like the indoor one near me, is one hundred yards and this wasn't much further.
Thank you for your reporting. I always love listening to you. You always do a FANTASTIC job! Keep up the good work.

How about the shooter was intentionally TRYING to narrowly miss Trump?
at 100+ yards? Have you ever fired a rifle?
nope - just wondering... the odds for missing? the odds for not missing? just wondering

I agree. Just wondering.. Thanks. I really respect your thinking and writing.
Thanks Karen...I do my best...with a lot of help. xo

Hello Chris, no credible reports of a chest injury but some of a bullet hole in his jacket
This is all a con job...
