Donald Trump seems to still suffer a condition called the “disowned self.” At the slightest criticism of his conduct or policies, he projects others as “crazy” or “corrupt .” For instance, who picks day long fights with the Pope for quoting Jesus,”Blessed are the peacemakers.”

It was 100% staged. Anybody who thinks trump wouldn't sacrifice some random dudes life to win is, IMO, an idiot. He would have killed the entire crowd himself if he thought it would help his chances.
What would you do if you were in the crowd and a gunman started shooting? Stand there cheering like an maniac, or duck and run?
This sort of argues against it unless a Pulitzer prize winning NYT photographer was in on it also.
I'm not a photographer but I do wonder why he happened to be shooting with such a high shutter speed for a speech which is not fast action.
i supposed whoever took the shot could have been told to miss him by a foot or two. That 2-D photo cannot show where the bullet went.

"i supposed whoever took the shot could have been told to miss him by a foot or two."
This is where I have a hard time believing it was totally staged. Too many things can go wrong if the goal is to miss by a foot or two. Is there any evidence, besides the ear, of the bullets path?

Just full on racism for an elected GOP official on live TV
"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency
The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

Yea, I'm not ready to declare it 100%. I am ready to say that I am typically the first in line to call BS on conspiracies because typically they just don't make sense.
But, the actions of the secret service don't make sense. I was just a lowly infantry soldier. But I know you are taught by sheer repetition what to do at critical moments. The idea that all those SS agents just oopsed and decided to let the person they were supposed to protect with their lives stand up and shake his fist is unbelievable. If not a fake, we have to realize the fact that one man has complete control of the government to the point that even the Secret Service won't cross him during an active shooter.
Not trying to say it went down one way or the other but they could have used blanks for shots intended to be for the republican nominee.

even if I was given my secret service badge, weapon, glasses, earpiece, and black suit the morning of with NO training, I would at least know not to let him stand up that soon!! thatś the part that has always bothered me; well, that and the fact that the US flag ended as a perfect backdrop; and maybe the fact that he didn´t appear rattled or frightened seconds after someone tried to explode his brain; and the fact that the shooter was so close and was not noticed by trained snipers, etc.; and the fact that his ear healed completely; other than that I suppose it may have been an actual assassination attempt...
Few dozen but you make a really good point. As incompetent as his administration has shown itself to be the biggest proof that it was a legitimate attempt is the fact that we haven't heard anyone say it was faked.
Of course it's not really talked about at all which in itself is really weird. The way Trump likes to spill the beans you would think him talking about getting shot would be repeated daily.
