33. Good point about the shooter's race & background. I guess that assumes

that part of the story was actually true. It does seem far-fetched that the shooter would be a plant, a hired marksman, or anything other than what they claimed. But do we actually have any evidence who the shooter was and that he was actually killed?

Usually in cases like this, there is at least one scenario that could explain all the data points. But every scenario I can think of, including the official line, has big flaws that make no sense.

The official story has trump grazed by a bullet. But then he pops right up, and there happened to be camera shots lined up perfectly. And a week later, his ear shows no sign of any injury whatsoever. No sign of stitches. No bruising. Nothing.

But the other theories have equally big problems.
