      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.

        We have prior footage of him dippin’, dodgin’ and duckin’ at rallies from noises. You’re right the reaction seems off. But he could be delirious due to his aged mental acuity.

        I don’t see why Trump would really need to be in on it. Plenty of people stand to gain from a trump presidency, and I’m not sure an “accidentally successful staged assassination” would be that much worse.

        spoken like someone who has never been shot before…
