    Two things stand out that scream staged.

    The photographer were ushered into position just under the president right as the US flag was lowered into position in order to get the iconic photo of him with arm raises surrounded by secret service and the flag.

    Also somehow the official whiteboard photographer caught a pic of the bullet in mid flight just a foot behind his head

    I know journalists like to go to war zones and such but running towards the target of a shooting with no protective gear is not gonna happen. They also just kind of shimmied into position… There wasn’t any real panic

    Also the pic of the bullet is just too much… There’s no way

      Where else would they put photographers? The whole point of them being there is to take pictures during his blathering.

      The more important point you’re missing is the kakistocracy itself. If this was some planned op then we would hear about it from any one of the many people Trump has fired or stiffed.

      There are much simpler explanations which need to be considered first, such as Trump’s disregard and disdain for any previous campaign promises coming into conflict with elements of his base who actually believed him enough to feel betrayed.

        No, you need to actually watch the videos, OP is right, its sketchy as all hell. It’s not like the photographers are already there, some G-Man directs the photographers into position like seconds after it happens.
