This makes a helluva conspiracy.

Trump gets shot, but shooter conveniently just wings him. Shooter is Republican, apparently.Shooter being Republican as opposed to Democrat allows Trump to call for unity and seem magnanimous. Now Trump is calling for unity (I browsed Reddit for half an hour today, I saw a post about it). Trump’s calls for unity is going to make him seem downright presidential, especially to Democratic fence sitters. Biden’s gaffes take a backseat to Trumps newfound presidential attitude. Now it no longer matters if Biden drops out or not.

I’d really not be surprised if he wins it because of this. What a time to be whatever.

Or maybe I should just quit taking THC because I’ve cooked my brain. Who the fuck knows.

It's not a conspiracy, at least not an inside job; Trump would never agree to this. It was less than a centimeter from killing him or giving him permanent brain damage. And people died. That's not how inside jobs go.

We still don't have any proof a bullet caught his ear. He could have cut it after going down.
