OP
USA Today has a detailed timeline showing he was on the ground no more than 1:25.

So, you believe the shooting was staged, and arranged in advance by the campaign?

He was probably asked to shoot above the crowd but he screwed up the shot.

Not to mention, only a very very tiny change in angle could have seriously killed Trump

Ronny Jackson publicly stated Trump had a 2cm gunshot wound, which is untrue.

Absolutely. Agreed. The magats will stop at nothing. As you say, the kid never had a chance as he would be dead.

See post 22. You may like it, but it's not fact. It never happened. It's just a conspiracy theory.

The damage might have been to some other a component of the pressurized hydraulic schematic.

Read the article linked at post 22. The guy owned the booms and the cranes. He has confirmed his equipment

OK, but the guy who owned the cranes and booms for the flags said his equipment wasn't damaged.

No. 1: The guy is a MAGA who said he would loan the equipment all over again. I do not trust what MAGAs say.

I don't know who knew. I know that a 22 year old maga nursing home orderly outmaneuvered the Secret Service

You're making good points. The only thing I don't agree on is that the shooter our maneuvered the SS.

Hard pass on this tinfoilhatism CT bollocks. It's a bad look for DU to see this BlueAnon crackpottery flung out here.

DUers don't trust Trump enough to give him any benefit of the doubt on anything

It's not giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, it's taking a clip and immediately using a frame of wild CT
