    This all looks staged to me.

    Hit in the ear that’s away from the camera.

    Falls to the ground obscured from view so someone can do up his makeup.

    Bullet just happened to ricochet and hit a hose line for the hydraulic system of some lift to show it’s a “real” bullet.

    Then Trump gets up raising his first triumphantly.

    You couldn’t write a better scene for Trump if you tried.

      Yeah. A real shooting would have had secret service taking him away. Within minutes, he’d be out of the area.

        I feel like people would be panicking and trying to leave the area too, or being evacuated by staff. They all just kinda sit there though. And then they start cheering and chanting “USA, USA” when Trump gets back up, which is not the typical reaction I’d expect in the middle of an active shooter situation. At very least, the whole situation is bizarre.
