Trump coined the term "I don't know if it's true but a lot of people are saying it..." before saying something ridiculous so it's his fault that no one thinks anything that happens is real anymore. He faked getting shot in Butler and now this?
... a video pulled from Fox News’s live broadcast, in which the reporter Aishah Hasnie, calling from inside the Hilton hotel that hosted the event, told the anchor that she had been speaking with Trump right before the shooting started. “You need to be very safe,” she said he’d told her. “And he was very serious when he said that to me, and he kind of looked around the room and he said there are some—” then Fox had cut her feed before she could reveal what Trump had gone on to say. (“There are some … people in here who are going to fake an attempt on my life but with live ammunition”?)

The last Trump "assassin" (Ryan Routh) had a pre-written note---months in advance---apologizing for his failed attempt. Not a note for *if* he failed, but note already saying he did.
What "killer" does that?
Either that was staged or he's the most unconfident self-doubting assassin ever to go after a U.S. president.
@vivify saidI missed that one. Seems suspicious.

Secret service has a lot of explaining to do on this one. Apparently six shots were fired, none from the assailant. The agent who was shot was therefore shot by friendly fire, but also no one was injured?
After Butler, we were told there would be an investigation. Strangely, none came. A president was "shot" and the FBI didn't even do an investigation. Hopefully, we get some answers here because they are using this incident as "proof" that Trump needs tax dollars to build his ballroom.
@wildgrass saidWas a gunshot heard by anyone?
I just saw the guy's been charged with discharging a firearm based on a spent round found inside the shotgun but Todd Blanche said they can't find the bullet?
Its possible this guy doesn't even go to prison. Incompetence or a coverup?

@vivify saidI think there were at least 6 shots fired, seen and heard by several witnesses. But it isn't clear if the assailant fired any of those shots.

Todd Blanche today said "it would not surprise me if it turns out that our Secret Service agent was shot by the individual who's currently charged with that crime, but...."
LOL! That's a direct quote. Charged someone with a crime not knowing basic details about the crime. Two days later and they don't know which gun the bullet came from.
@wildgrass saidHmmm can’t find the bullet to the shotgun?

@The-only-Mr-T saidProbably a real attempt, but Trump definitely wasn't shot in Butler, PA.
Didn't the first attempt hit his ear? I mean... That's a close one for a faked attack.
Probably real. Shame they both missed. Next time perhaps.
His doctor said there was a 2 cm ballistics wound in the cartilage of his ear. The width of a thumb, half moon shaped. Full healed in 2 weeks with zero evidence of a wound? That is impossible.
He claimed he's a "fast healer" and others have claimed his ear healed by magic. But the simplest explanation is that he wasn't hit at all. It could have been an injury from a fall or a fragment of glass or whatever, but it wasn't a bullet. Impossible.
@KingDavid403 saidYeah, bigger. It seems like that would be obvious, they could have figured that out in a couple of minutes. Isn't it strange that investigators are still wondering about it days later?
A slug is the same as a bullet, just bigger. Not all shotgun shells are bird-shot. I hunted deer with shot-guns before. They work just fine at closer distances.

@wildgrass saidYes, I agree. Everything and anything to do with Trump is BS.

Who cuts their ear during a fall?
I'm all for conspiracy theories and cover ups but I think he was shot.
@KingDavid403 saidNo it’s not, that’s why it’s a slug, this also isn’t what was written. Why load with a single slug in this case when buckshot would better serve the weapon. He had pistols, was it actually a slug.

@The-only-Mr-T saidI dunno man. Evander Holyfield had approximately the same size wound put in his ear by Mike Tyson's tooth in 1997, and it's still there.
Plastic surgery?

Trump's cartilage wound disappeared in 2 weeks? If he had plastic surgery immediately that day, it would still be visible months later.
There's a bunch of other things that were also covered up. No autopsy, no ballistics, no transparency. The FBI investigative report was never released. Info about the shooter still not known. Info about the "hero" counter-sniper also covered up. The super-obvious security threat that was identified hours before and not fixed.
