I think it's certainly possible it was a false flag
But are people actually going to be surprised that someone took a swing at him? It's sure as hell more likely.

The surprising thing, to me, is that it took this long
The attempt isn't the crazy part. The crazy part is him stopping SS to fist pump, when we were all expecting him to piss his pants at the first sign of danger.
To be clear, I'm not advocating the theory, as I happen to believe he did piss his pants.
If all goes as Trump and his coattail-riders have explicitly stated they intend it to, by this time next year (if not sooner), the United States will be some combination of plutocratic and christofascist autocracy ruled by an all-powerful dictator.
I don't think it's particularly surprising or unreasonable for people facing that prospect to grab at any fleeting hope that might drift by, no matter how desperate and irrational.
In fact, that's a well known dynamic among people with a terminal illness. Which is what all Americans other than the coming ruling class and their followers very much are.
Does it matter? Who cares if there are conspiracy theories. Let's make fun of him since he seems to be fine, just a flesh wound.
PS: Could be fake blood. Did anyone see anything but the blood?
We lose credibility when we spread unfounded conspiracy nonsense
Leave them to the liberals and conservatives who already have zero cred
Nah, it's just funny. These guys have done so many fake things, why is it off the table? It's hilarious to me if it is fake.
Edit: Just like this video of fake Melania. There is no way she looks 20 years younger and he tries to kiss her like this, lol. I'm just saying, they've faked shit before. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/us-election-melania-trump-makes-joint-appearance-with-donald-trump/news-story/a752209668518606df7c5bf5f2421cec
She’s been accused of being cold and even “repulsed” by Trump, but Melania’s behaviour at the rally was a contrast with previous appearances.
lmao
Well there's no evidence of this shooting being faked, so
They saw a guy with a gun.
And two people dead (including the shooter) after the firefight.
im sorry, im a little bit of a paranoiac. 😿
Just remember the conspiracy theorists are usually wrong
Also, you wouldn't have someone shoot live ammo in the general area of your head as a false flag
paranoid rambling, not useful information
im the conspiracy theorist, im the one trying to do google maps ballistics. i want to see clear images of the wound. i feel like shooting a couple civilians isnt among the worst things people in power have done to maintain power.
Oh they'd run us over with tanks if it gave them a millionth of an advantage electorally
I just see no evidence of a conspiracy here, nor any need for one since Democrats had already handed the election to Trump by insisting on running good ol' bumbling butcher biden
I do have, I think, legitimate questions about the incident that raise my eyebrows a bit.
That being said, in the end, it doesn’t matter if it’s a false flag or not. It’s done exactly what Trump needed to happen.
Now now. You wrote "average liberal" there. We all know that's just wrong. Try again. :-)
