Trump Assassination Attempt Conspiracy Theories

Funny, I didn't hear anything about the size of the rally. If it would have been HUGE the shooter probably would have had to be too far away.

That's not the bullet. I don't believe it's plausible or even possible to capture a bullet in a shot like that give shutter speeds, fill speed and the velocity of the shot.

I think that is the vaporized blood from Trump's ear, which immediately spread into a tiny vapor cloud and dispersed. I've looked at the video of the shooting with sounds and you can faintly see that little blood vapor cloud.

Would you like to put a figure on that? Because the shutter speed was apparently 1/8000 of a second.

Depends on what kind of conservative. Trump has basically changed the definition of conservative in the US, his economic policy is basically in line with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and his foreign policy is pro-Russia, anti-NATO. I could see some old style conservative trying to kill him on that score.

Link?
 
It's is utterly laughable to think there is anything populist about Trump's economic policies - his biggest policy, the tax cuts, are solely for the benefit of the rich and super rich.

The trail is about 1 feet long. Bullet speed is 3000 feet per second .. or rather less. That's shutter speed 1/3000 to 1/2000 .. seems plausible, and expected on sunny day.
Also I have seen tons of slowmo videos of bullets hitting everything, and I have never seen a vapor trail, or any kind of trail.
On some of the videos you can see small mist cloud, which IMHO is the atomized parts of the ear, and it does look similar to typical blood cloud which occurs with direct body shot. But its a cloud, not a trail.
 
And unreported fact* about the Assassination is that the bullets in the AR-15 where coated in poison. The effect will be slow, given the small contact with Trump, but inevitable.

* unreported because I just made it up.

Is the first effect of the poison that it sends it's victim mad? And does it work backward in time?

Or if he was willing to pay for an indoor event, then they could have kept the shooter out.

I saw a pic of Liz Cheney next to Crooks yesterday, I think, which MAGA was taking as evidence she had time travelled back to her 20s and sent her young self forward in time to kill Trump.

Why is the latter more likely than the former?

The other day I watched a video on YouTube from a channel called The Slow Mo Guys. Their deal is that they have cameras with extremely high frame rates, so that you can actually see things like a bullet traveling.

Here's an example of that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgjyPmFKxCU


Here they are just shooting bullets through eggs. The frame rates start at 10,000 fps and go up to 1 million fps, although 400,000 fps seems like the best one because above that you have to change to a different lens with worse resolution and for 1 million it becomes low resolution and black and white.

One thing other than the bullet itself that you can see in some of these shots is a shock wave that precedes the bullet itself, but the bullet itself is very easy to see, and I don't see any "vapor trail" following the bullet.

Because the bullet is travelling very fast, it does not have much time for light to reflect off it into the lens from any point in its trajectory.

But a blood vapor trail is for a moment (long enough to be photographed) stationary, before it disperses into a tiny cloud.

If you look closely at the video in slow motion at that moment (which you can roughly match frame by frame) you can see the blood-vapor cloud.
 
Trump's ear is fully healed.

I'm changing my CT to Trump getting hurt, just fell into the chalice of adrenochrome he always has under his podium.
 
So it looks like the shooter was even worse than we thought.

I would be interested in an examination of the rifle used.
 
New Conspiracy theory from the heritage foundation says, the shooter was working for the DNC with the FBI and Secret Service.
The Cult is going nuts over it.

I hesitate to ask, but "from the Heritage Foundation"?

I hate the Heritage Foundation with a passion, but that sounds just a litte too extreme even for them.
 
I saw a Tik Tok that the shooter made, and he really looks like a sweet young boy in it. From what little I hear he really didn't care about what politician he shot but I guess Prez Trump was coming to town so.

Let's not forget Biden was supposed to speak in Pennsylvania recently, but backed out because he didn't want to cross a picket line. Maybe we should be very happy he did.

With just about every serial killer you see someobdoy who knew him saying
But he was such a nice quiet person.
The classic Schwarnegger film 'The Running Man" pokes fun at this at one point.
 
Former Chief White House photographer, Pete Souza, has highlighted an AP photo of trump from yesterday morning, showing an unscarred left ear, and called into question whether he was even hit by a bullet.

He has subsequently closed his xitter account.

Out of embarrassment, given that it was Trump's right ear that copped a bullet?

The Associated Press photo shows Trump's right ear, the one that was injured. KDLarsen appears to have made a mistake.

The photo is an enlargement, and really too grainy to determine whether Trump might be wearing a small, flesh- (or Trump-) colored conformal bandage.

As far as I can tell at this writing, neither Souza nor X/Twitter has commented on the disappearance of his account.
 
New Theory:

Trump set up the shooting because he didn't want to be President, wanted to get out of all his lawsuits, debts, and all the MAGA idiots:
He was trying to fake his own death in the most spectacular way, looking forward to spending all his ill-gotten gains while watching every Republican cry tears for him forever and see himself replace Reagan as the Patron Saint of the GOP.
It would have been perfect.

But then, none of the Bullet hit squibs under his suit exploded, he just got some of the red dye in his face.
The plan had to be abandoned.

It is annoying that he hasn't made a statement about what happened.
If he made a mistake, he should own it.

Boy, a whole lot of people not using Occam's razor here. Which is more likely: that a shooter aimed at Trump and missed but hit something else that hit Trump in the ear, or that he aimed at Trump and grazed him?

Oh? I once cut the top of my ear shaving. Well, I have hairy ears. :blush: Probably age-related - according to my GP, everything is! Bled quite a lot too, though not as much as Donny's did.

No evidence of that has been found of any ricochet or shrapnel. The glass teleprompters were intact.

But there are other more reasonable choices than the two you gave: Trump heard the shots and smacked himself in his own ear hard enough to bleed a tiny bit; or he hurt his ear against the floor in the scrummage; or he hit the deck and one of the SS in the scrummage hurt his ear either accidentally or deliberately.
