    Does it matter if he used blanks?

    Yes, I’m implying this was staged and he was just used. Maybe he was even told that he was there to protect trump as a secret backup to USSS. There are a lot of mentally ill people that you could convince of anything.

      He didn’t use blanks, he just missed the target. Unless his target was the firefighter behind Trump in which case he did well. Trump got scratched by either shrapnel (possible), one of the SS officers jumping on him (likely) or it was a blood squib (conspiracy). But he did feel his ear before the SS officers jumped him.

        Anybody remember that line from Shooter?

        You want to take away all suspicion away when you shoot someone? Shoot him when he’s standing next to the president.

        Maybe crazy… but…

        Why are you assuming he killed that guy?

        If this was staged why would trump give even a tiny chance of being hurt by some loon?

        There were multiple shots fired at the moment.

      Blanks than killed one and sent two more to hospital. Magic blanks.
