I mean seriously...how many angles have we seen of that "assassination attempt?" And in NONE of them, do we see anyone in the crowd actually getting hit. No bodies going down. No one ducking for cover. No one tending to the wounded.

Just Orange Julius Caesar grabbing for is ear and ducking behind the podium (which is hardly protection for one under fire, BTW).

Follwed by agents "tackling" him and providing cover while the ketchup packet is applied.

Then helping him up so he can pose for a photo op--not what a security detail should be doing if the person they're guarding has just been shot at.

It was all a show, kids.

Hell, even the alleged shooter had been "killed" and any public evidence of HIS existence has disappeared.

I'll never be convinced that this was anything more than a setup....
