29. It was obviously staged. There was never any indication that Trump's ear was ever injured.

It is impossible to believe that some clown could have been allowed to climb on that building as close to the stage as he was. He was clearly an inept amateur. He was out at about 150 yards. He was using a AR 15 variant with an unmagnified red dot sight. While I admit that a decent shooter could have made the shot, that weapon would hardly be the choice of a qualified shooter intent on a kill. In the hands of an amateur the chances of a hit were small. After the first shot, the chances of a hit were very near zero.

The secret service had to have been in on it. If it was real they would have never allowed tRump to stand back up after the first shots. They could not have known (if this was real) that there were not multiple shooters. They would have kept him down until they were sure there was no further threat.

The real tragedy is that a fireman/ family man had to die for the charade.

Did the shooter know that he was a lamb going to slaughter? Did he do it knowing he was going to die in order to elect his orange painted god?
