If some polls are to be believed, one in three Democrats think that Donald Trump faked his own assassination attempt. When I read that, I thought, could this possibly be true? But this weekend on my drive home to West Virginia from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, I got the theory first hand. And it's a fascinating doozy.
Station Square Ristorante, just off of I-80 in Liberty, Ohio, is an absolute gem. Ottavio and Bridget Musumeci have somehow managed to create a legitimate fine-dining experience attached to the Super 8 motel. And no, I’m not kidding. In the wood-paneled bar, as I ordered oysters and antipasto for a late lunch, I met Mark, originally from northern New Jersey, which his accent revealed before he did. And Mark, well, he had some very interesting things to say.
As is my way, I turned the conversation to politics and the assassination came up.
"That whole thing was a setup," Mark told me.
Before I could even respond, John, the bartender, who I would learn doesn’t like Trump or Biden, said, "Nah, two people are dead. No way."
Mark’s response was, "this is Donald Trump, he’s capable of anything."

They were.
I have an associate at work who says he will vote for Trump, Dosen’t like Biden...but also thinks “trump paid the kid to shoot him”. Giant eye roll from me.
Because a real assassination attempt would invalidate their “reality”.
Thing is, though, there are pics of him with blood on his face and his open right hand in the air with no blood on the palm.
“I honestly believe there is a segment of the population who only care about their side winning because it sustains the status quo.”
I believe we’re seeing the result of deep state propaganda and brainwashing. These leftists operate on the lower end of the IQ scale. They manage to master one or two social and economic skills, which is just enough to keep them from living under the bridge and howling at the full moon.
And what makes them insufferable is each is convinced that he’s the smartest guy in the room.
Kamala is. Just ask her
“Mark” will be at that bar, crying in his beer on election Night.
I saw Dweezil about 7 years ago. Great show.
Legendary Annie Oakley most famous shot was shooting cigarette out of her husband hand and even his mouth!
BUT, Annie’s standard shooting distance was 25 yards, the target was held steady and cigarette is further away from the vital parts of the head than the ear!
So even the most famous sharpshooter in the shooting history would not be able to make that shot!
Another illustration:
At the Olympics, they stopped long range competition a long time ago.
So the closest current Olympic discipline comparable to the shot on Trump will be the 50meters (only 50 meters!) rifle, three position shot.
At the last Olympics, in the prone position (like the shooter), only one person made the perfect 10 on all 40 targets (the smallest 10 point ring in the competition target is 10.4 millimeters, almost half an inch, in diameter!).
So even the best Olympic shooters with their best equipment, would not be able to reliably guarantee the assassinator shot, despite what one of the three Democrats believe!
(they obviously could do it sometimes, but without any guarantee that they would not possibly kill the president)
Think about it!
I’m sorry but I haven’t heard anyone claim there was a plot to “knick” trump’s ear. Nobody is that stupid
Are you sure? There are dead people and photos of bullets in the air. There is acoustic signatures of bullets, and bullets fragmenting on a railing. There is a cut in his scalp and ear, which he grabbed when the first bullets are filmed.
So are they saying that Trump faked it so hard he got shot and other people injured or killed? That’s the same as saying the would stand 400ft at a two hundred yard range. They wouldn’t, Trump certainly wouldn’t, I wouldn’t, but the theory is that stupid. They have listened to MSNBC so long and taken in so much hate, they have lost all common sense.
???
My theory is that since a faked assassination attempt is something the left would do, no matter how many people were killed in the process, they have no problem believing that their political opponent would do the same.
Exactly. These people believe cops should just shoot the knife out of the hand of a thug running full speed ahead towards them.
They believe an officer should and can just wound a shooter in the leg to stop his killing spree. They do not know the difference between an automatic and semi-automatic rifle or the difference in an AR15 and a 30.06 rifle. When it comes to firearms and ammo the left will believe anything an anti-gun organization tells them.
Democrats are so clueless when it comes to firearms, they believe an untrained 20 year old can just shoot to wound a President by aiming and shooting him an eighth of an inch from his skull. In the same breath they will tell you an round from an AR15 will blow your head off but will also only produce a small scratch when hitting its target.
Democrats are mentally ill and they exhibit that fact on a daily basis.
I’m just saying no one of any credibility in the news or otherwise is saying Trump plotted to have his ear nicked by a bullet. As random people go,I’m sure you could find someone who thinks the Easter Bunny did it.
