At this rate the October Surprise is really going to be something.

Fascist who constantly talks about killing others gets shot at.

Nobody's allowed to say a goddamn word about it.

Someone I know said trump probably planned this himself.

Everyone is thinking it, but there's just no way. It's way way too risky to let someone shoot your ear from 100m away, and if it was fake blood or something, Trump's reaction times were amazing. He's not sufficiently capable a human or actor to fake it.

It wasn't just blanks either, as it killed one random attendee, severely injured another, and got the gunman killed.

Yeah, given that someone else was killed, I guess not. What a shame that the bullet hit a bystander. Now they're going to bump Trump's security to the moon, and he's going to act like he's Teddy Roosevelt or some shit. Ugh!

That is literally the least convincing piece of evidence. I don't think he did it, but that's definitely not why.
