There are many anomalies that raise questions.

This video raises more questions. I ran across it last summer and haven't been able to get it out of my mind, so Idownloaded it from a post on Bluesky and saved it to my Drive, to make sure it wasn't behind a paywall. The person who shared it thinks she got it from Instagram.

This is from Butler, PA immediately after the shooting, taken from a different angle focusing more on action on the ground. Trump's aides move photographers to advantageous positions. Trump and the Secret Service are first down behind the podium and then you can make out that Trump and the SS are getting up, but at that size details are difficult to determine. You can see the edge of an American flag slowly appear from above as if it is being lowered from the crane into place.

I spent some time yesterday trying to find out if the video has been verified or proven false from a reliable source. It's not the type of video Bellingcat analyzes and I didn't get much further than that. So authentication of the video still needs to be done.
