Clearly you haven't been pumped up on adrenaline. It can absolutely give you the confidence to act like he did.
And don't you think it's a bit contradictory to not have the gusto to throw your fist in the air after being shot but being stone cold calm before getting shot? If it was planned Trump would've known he's going to get shot at and like the coward he is he wouldn't have just stared at the shooter.
Also we don't know the cartridge of the weapon but if the weapon used 556 or 223, then it's very unlikely it was staged because those would shred Trump if they actually hit him. If it was 9mm or 22 it would be more believable, but even then would you really risk killing the candidate just to prop up votes? He didn't seem to be wearing a BP vest so even smaller rounds would have been life threatening.
I very much doubt it was staged or false flag or anything of the sorts. It just doesn't make sense to me. Trump should get an Oscar if it was planned that way.
My dude thinks 223 is big boy bullets
The idea of shooting any round at someone and expecting to "just wound them" is absurd, but .223/5.56 is definitely in the range of "reliably fatal if applied to the chest or head" .
It might not be a "big boy round" but it's still a rifle round -- if wasn't powerful enough to reliably "incapacitate" (i.e. kill) a human being at 100 yards the world's militaries wouldn't still be using after 40+ years.
Real men can shrug off any calibre not designed to punch through car engine blocks.
Shit, I hear that if you use enough power tools and watch enough sportsball even those liquid copper jet tank boomy things have a hard time getting through the protective crust of sawdust and testosterone.
Lol power tools... Literally devices made to make hard work easy, so funny that they became this manly symbol.
Oh idk, fucksaws are pretty manly. Love a man that knows his way around a fucksaw.
