    This won’t play into his martyr complex at all.

    I've posted before about the Fox News brain rot my father has experienced. One of his favorite talking points the last six months or so was that he was worried some antifa boogeyman would try to take Trump out and I kept pointing out that the people with guns and military or police training and/or radical militia experience (i.e. Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, III percenters, etc) were much more likely to be Trump supporters. Fuck if this doesn't feed that fever dream Fox and others have been selling.

    I said months ago that someone would be gunned down during this election season. Not either top of ticket, but someone will. I think.

    Early reports of one person dead at the rally. No word if it is a bystander or the shooter.

    The Democrats need to say;

    1) We deplore violence and we hope any persons injured recover quickly and fully.

    AND NOT ANOTHER WORD.

    Multiple sources have reported that the shooter is "down" but they also often don't count him.

    Some PA congressmen at the rally have told news orgs there are other victims.

    Zero chance. ZE-fucking-RO that chicken shit bastard takes a bullet then stands up like he's TR.
    Plus, if a bullet, even a .22 short, had grazed his ear, it would have carried into the people behind him.
    Staged BULLSHIT.

    The first thing I’d do after being shot at is worry about my shoes

    The angles don't make a lot of sense to me, either. When he grabs his right ear, he appears to be pointing at 2 to 2:30 (if straight out into the crowd is 12). So for someone to graze him in the ear, he would have had to be looking straight at him at the time, which would mean that several bullets would have gone right into the crowd behind Trump and to his left. It's possible, but not very apparent from the same clip of video.

    That said, I don't know how you could fake something like this.
