It's all just tragic and sad and fucked up. I'm grateful that Trump is fine, and that his family doesn't have to lose him.
The complete fuck-heads they all are is acknowledged, and beside the point.

IDK how often the Secret Service thwarts an assassination attempt, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's many times per year.

I do not think Trump has the capacity to pull that off as a fake. He's a liar, but not a good one, just a persistent one.
I put near 0% chance that if he was acting, he could manage not to give it all away within 24 hours.
The man has a tendency to openly brag about his crimes on TV interviews, FFS.

The clear problem with unintended targets being the entire background to any missed shots is beyond fucked up.
The fact that it was a near certainty that there would be casualties not limited to the primary target, and that those casualties would be our own citizens, is beyond fucked up.

I sincerely hope there was no political conspiracy behind this. We'll never really know. Of course, there is an investigation already underway, and there will be a public statement in many weeks or months about their version of the story. Obviously it wont be 100% true nor will it be 0% true, so ... we'll see what we think of it when it comes out, I guess.
