I’m not aware of any evidence that the shooting was staged. You wishing it were staged doesn’t make it so.

The US flag lowering for the picture and journalists being ushered in to their designated photo position right after the shooting was super sus. If I poorly staged an assassination that would be how I would do it.

The first assassination wasn't staged, it was just exposing incompetency within the secret service and security setup. It would be good not to propagate conspiracy theories.

There is a difference between staged and "allowed to happen" and/or "socially engeered to be more probable". Life is complicated.

The difference between in the moment adrenaline rush(no way trump gets those often) vs what I'm betting is him making himself panic over nothing serious
