Art of the Deal, baby. Trump is no outsider, he's just supremely selfish and is messing up their plans to get a better deal for himself. Apparently, after four years of Biden, he's got them to make him an offer which he's taken. He'll be the next president.

Consider the idea that either side acted alone. If the Dems set this up, they got the unluckiest shot in history, making Trump look like the underdog he plays and creating a ton of evidence leading back to the deep state of, at very minimum, total incompetence by the USSS, FBI, and CIA. If Trump set this up, he got the luckiest shot in history, hitting his ear but doing no significant damage, literally under their noses.

If they acted together, the shooter is allowed into position with blanks, takes a few shots, second shooter takes out a few people in the crowd to make it look real, Trump theatrically grabs his ear, goes down with the SS then comes up bleeding from a nearly invisible wound. He then, with the SS chickies still hanging off of him, fist pumps twice during an active shooting.

I'm not even going to consider the possibility that nobody saw this guy from either the other sloped roof they were on or the aerial drone sueveillance that everyone uses these days, down to local PDs at farmers markets and rib fests.

DEI is retarded, sure, but this strains the limits of credulity.
