Did Trump have to know the attempt on his life was staged?

(This is Part-9 in a series; for Part-10, click here; for Part-8, click here.)

Note: This article has nothing to do with other people wounded or killed at the Pennsylvania rally. It only has to do with Trump.

No, Trump didn’t have to know. He didn’t have to be in on a plot to make him a super-hero.

It’s always better if the prime target doesn’t know. Then all his reactions are genuine.

Could Trump have known? Sure.

My point is, the trillion to one shot that grazed his ear is too outrageous to accept. The kid with the AR and some practice on a shooting range, or the best sniper in the world…

…trying to graze the ear OR trying to kill Trump and hitting his ear instead—forget it.

The shot that just happened to leave Trump alive and unharmed and a hero twice the size of his former heroic status…that’s a drama for the ages.

That’s a storyline that falls perfectly into place.

Also, did the Secret Service have to be in on the staged event? No. All the acting director had to do (or one of his underlings) was screw up the security. Badly. To let the kid, the patsy, on to that roof.

The screw-up didn’t have to be specifically designed for that kid or any shooter—just bad security leaving that rooftop open. Or just letting that kid or any suspicious person walk around the rally without being arrested. Because the kid could have opened fire from the ground. Or anywhere. It didn’t have to be the rooftop.

The kid is obviously the patsy. How that came to be—who knows? We could speculate. We could invent stories. He could have been nurtured and groomed and guided. Playing off his already unstable mental state.

Think Lee Oswald. Sirhan Sirhan. It happens.
