Best proof the shooting was staged? Rump's peculiarly calm demeanor and the very fact that he was holding a presser.

Wouldn't you think that after such an incident that the president would have been whisked away to a secure location just in case this was a coordinated attack with more assailants?

And also, like many have mentioned, why did he want to attend the WH correspondents' dinner in the first place?

Staged.

has mentioned what a coward adjudicated rapist Trump is, so it's all the more reason to believe this was fake.

... they sounded as made-up as every other "statistic" that has ever burbled from his mouth.

like they knew it would happen and that none of them would get hurt.

But, then again, I don't know what to believe anymore. We are living in bizarre times.
