Remember when Trump pretended to be slightly nicked on the ear?

121. "How many of them have blabbed about Trump raping children?"

Well, since they weren't present when it happened I think we can dismiss this question with prejudice.

And that's on top of the fact that his blood sprayed in the wrong direction for a wound resulting from a bullet fired toward him from the front.

Except that blood spatter analysis when practiced by supposed "professionals" is viewed as a pseudoscience at best and nonsense at worst. Thus I don't attach significant weight to your interpretation of this particular event.

What follows here is indeed speculation: Trump may have been told that the shooter would use blanks, and that he was to slap a blood capsule to his ear when he heard the shots. I offer no evidence of this; it's admittedly pure speculation that incidentally is not inconsistent with observable events.

Except no camera caught evidence of a blood capsule in his hand as far as I'm aware even though multiple cameras were focused on him. If he's a feeble old man who stumbles going up and down stairs that kind of legerdemain seems beyond him, wouldn't you think? And if Trump was in on the scam and was told they'd be using blanks, who's the shadowy mastermind who made the decision to switch to live ammo? Why did they do so?

And what of the shooter? An active shooter taking shots at the POTUS is not going to be given a "freeze, hands up!" He's just going to be ventilated. Even if he's shooting blanks, responding law enforcement or Secret Service aren't going to know that and will use lethal force. So the guy doing the shooting willingly gave up his life for this supposed staged assassination? Even allowing for the notion that Trump fans aren't entirely rational actors, that's pushing it.

Occam's Razor suggests that a legitimate assassination attempt is correct as it requires far fewer wild assumptions than a staged assassination attempt so that's where I've landed.

In any case, I think I'm about done pounding this topic into the digital dirt with you. It's very clear to me that you did not arrive at your position via reason and, therefore, reason will not move you from it and it would be a waste of my time to continue trying to persuade you.
