Ok. Here me out. Not that I believe it but I read this more feasible conspiracy theory.
Shooter has been given blanks. He shoots a couple of times before noticing that something is wrong (at this time the secret service is already taking him down). Meanwhile Trump uses a needle to pierce his own ear while hitting the deck, and once he is safe on the ground a second professional shooter takes a couple of real shots to the audience to make it look more real.
Watch the video. You hear the bullet. Blanks don't do that. Also the kid was a gun nut. Blanks VERY CLEARLY don't have a bullet. This is about as feasible as the theory that JFK's head "just did that."
To be fair I have never seen a real bullet in my life, neither a blank bullet. And I don't think I've even heard a gunshots except for maybe a hunter shotgun loaded with pellets. With this new knowledge that theory crumbles easily.
Could've shot someone behind, for glory
counterpoint: it was a rnc figure like bannon or that guy who recently said straight up he wants civil war and it was a win-win situation. if trump dies the chosen successor would soak up the sympathy and if he survives trump gets all that sympathy. either way it's a win for the rnc, and they never gave a fuck about killing innocent people before so don't give me that as proof it's not staged.
I don't think any successor would be able to unite republicans as effectively as Trump did. They wouldn't go away, but Biden might have a shot at getting reelected.
Disclaimer: Biden is too senile, and the rest of the DNC are cowards resigned to a second Trump presidency to arrange something like this.
you can see a bullet in a video
Exactly my thoughts, it'd look the same on camera. Without the risk
