          I would honestly say the odds it was a failed genuine assassination attempt are slim to none. Doesn’t this feel far too convenient? We obviously know nothing now, but I feel like it’s gotta be the knee jerk assumption.

            I agree. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was all a ploy for attention so he can look tough, and rile up his base. That is completely on brand.

            Edit: Unfortunately, it appears to be a completely genuine, yet failed, assassination attempt…

                Trump is a known coward. If he didn’t know this was coming he’d have shit his pants and run offstage. His reaction is entirely unrealistic to the situation and how he is known to act.

                For fucks sake he asked for his shoes and waited around for them before leaving the stage. Those are not the actions of a man who is being actively shot at.

            This is the absolute most insane take on this. Everything in the world isn’t some grand orchestrated plan.
