How could Trump have shot himself?

I think there’s a non-zero probability that the whole thing was a set up to make himself a martyr.

I'm not going to believe that without evidence. However, if real, solid evidence of that scenario came to light, it would not surprise me one bit.

that also makes you susceptible to confirmation bias. remain vigilant and objective. not preaching to you specifically but everyone here.

You're not wrong. I do my best every day to assess information as it stands, and I am definitely skeptical of something I see reported in only one place. If it seems like it could be legitimate, I want to see additional and extensive reporting on it from multiple journalistic outlets.

I care very much about the alignment of what I believe and reality. I have watched a close friend devolve into conspiratorial thought (not politically, thankfully), come out of it, and then fall down again. I've been in that same kind of mental decline in my own past, but medication and conscious effort go a long way. It's still work, every day, but it's the kind of work I am happy to do.

I just knew that someone was gonna bring up confirmation bias, and of course, it had to be you.

Why do I have to be right all the time???

Aaaaaand scene

Yeah, nah.

A few cm to the right and he’d had hit his fucking skull. No way is he ever going to sign off on something so risky to his life. He’s a fucking coward, he wouldn’t stand still to get shot at.

I hate trump but i hate the conspiracy as well. You can’t expect me to believe someone training a 20yo to accurately aim a shot that glance past trump right ear, and then have him killed on the spot. that’s some elite sniper shit the american would love to hire into their rank and send off to invade other country.

The purpose was to aim at the crowd, around Trump. The ear injury is self inflicted

Trump did get everyone to look away at a PowerPoint just before hand….

Just sayin

Bet he was a Boogaloo. What better way to get the party started than an assassination?

finley ,

Well, he was a registered Republican…

Edit: being Republican ofc
