I don't know anything about guns either, but here are my thoughts.

Assuming that there WAS a bullet that whizzed by Trump's head & nicked his ear, it must have been fired by someone actually wanting to kill him: no professional shooter, even the best in the world, could have guaranteed that a bullet that close would not kill him. It was only because Trump turned his head at the crucial moment that he survived.

So that leaves the fake blood theory as the only alternative possibility...

We know that anything at all can be faked these days - though successfully faking an assassination attempt at a live rally would take a miracle in itself.

And there were actual people killed, presumably by actual bullets (again, it is possible that this could have been faked... heck, the whole thing could have been staged by actors!... but we are entering the realms of the implausible here, IMO).

So if it was the "White Hats" who are responsible, they have to be just as psychopathic as the Black Hats (or Deep State).

So my Scientific Self will point to Occam's Razor - the principle that the simplest hypothesis which explains all the facts is most probably the correct one.

...while my Spiritual Self will believe to my dying day that this was a true miracle, a sign of Grace, a sign that Trump has been chosen by God.

And then there is the principle "By their fruits shall ye know them..."

While Trump is still Trump, with all his faults and failings, he is now talking about unity and coming together. There is a light around him, and the Republican Party itself seems to have united around Trump.

And Trump has reached out to RFK Jr, and he has chosen a VP who is anti-vaccine-mandate (though reportedly pro-vaccine himself).

While it would be nice to have a world leader who was able to call out Big Pharma and their various cons, we know it is not going to happen that way (not if that leader is going to stay alive and in power). So for myself, I'm prepared to take what I can get. I still can't quite forgive Trump for Operation Warp Speed, or for his empowering Fauci & co (which has to be poor judgement, at best, IMO, since I don't believe in 5D chess games).

It doesn't matter one iota what I think of Trump, since I don't get to vote in the US election.

And it remains to be seen how all this will play out in practice.

But for now, I am taking hope where I can find it!

Dana White, not Dana Smith. Have no idea who Dana Smith is. Dana White is not involved in "staged" professional wrestling.
