was staged? It's pretty unlikely that no one I mean NO ONE on any news channel is talking about this. trump's a bad actor, ( in more ways than one) and watching him when his SS brought him back in to continue after "rushing" him out to "safety" made me wonder. He was awfully subdued. Kinda of like a child caught in a big, big lie..

Just sayin'

Of course, it's pretty obvious that I don't trust one word out of his lying pie hole.

if that had been a real threat, they would have surrounded him and carried him offstage, if need be. They wouldn't have waited for him to ask questions and then lumber in their direction. He would have been whisked away.

He would never be that blase´ about a threat to himself. It looked staged.

He seemed out of it and uncomfortable to be there.. as if someone was gonna stumble onto the truth some how and bust him

"Lumber in their direction" I really like the image that conjures. He DOES lumber.. like an unbalanced, uncoordinated bear.

There's been no mention of this incident at all.. I thought the guy they shot was dead. They said a woman screamed. There have been a few mentions here & other sites about how trump's SS shot the guy. But nothing on MSM or cable news, which is so suspect

Would anyone even tell us if the entire incident was bogus?

This still reminds me of the end of Stephen King's "Dead Zone"

I don't know if that has anything to do with this post, just thought I'd mention it.
