She's not wrong (although I can't say I'd expect access to his personal medical records when the sitting president won't tale a cognitive faculty test).
The big question is: was this a collaboration between Trump and the secret service to secure the election for him, or an actual attempt and the USSS is just so diverse that they were totally unable to identify the threat, stop the shooting, or force an 80yo man off the stage and into a vehicle with their 5'0" 80lb female agents?
What does that have to do with them recruiting the worst shot in the world to carry out a world-shaking assassination?
Also, 'the plan' didn't take into account that Trump might turn his head?
Like I said before, I think they're too smart to want to take out Trump this way, not that they're not capable of doing it or that they're not evil enough to want to do it.
Most teachers aren't going to straight up say 'That kid was fucking psycho and I didn't want him around anything that could easily help him kill people' in public. Or, more sensible, 'I had a bad gut feeling about him but I can't use that as a reason to keep him out'.
People have disagreed, but I still think it's possible he wasn't the only shooter. One of my working theories is they radicalized him and allowed him access, and a better trained sniper took the actual shot as soon as Crooks started firing (if he even did, odd we don't have any footage of that so far, actually.) It really is wild, too. Trump really was an inch away from death or at the very least some serious brain damage. If he hadn't moved when he did, we'd be having a massively different conversation.
In the split second during the pulling trigger and bullet travel, Trump moved his head at a slightly different angle that changed ''bullet firmly throught the brain'' to ''bullet through the ear''.
If the shooter was supposed to miss, he was going to ''fail at missing''.
The only way to stick with ''it was missed on purpose'' would be to claim there was no bullet.
You misunderstand, I'm not arguing that it missed on purpose, only that the guy was a very bad shot. He fired several shots after Trump moved his head. Now I as a Eurofag am not exactly an expert on shooting, but surely you can move your gun slightly after you get off the first shot?
Look, we don't know what the people who set the shooter up were wanting to accomplish...other than the death of Donald Trump.
There was sketchiness in spades, and it was a conspiracy, but Trump himself certainly wasn't in on it. He's not going to agree to getting shot at, much less so closely...they shot him in the head. They wanted him dead, I'm damn near positive of that.
Nah you have to be smart enough not to buy the "official" narrative
I disagree. You don't have to be smart to be a conspiracy theorist. You have to be smart to be a clever or accurate conspiracy theorist.
You can be a conspiracy theorist really easily if you simply don't care about reality, and just want to present yourself as correct; which is basically just leftism in a nutshell.
Besides, saying it was staged isn't exactly the official narrative, but it also doesn't stray from it far. The official narrative is Orange Man Bad and, almost as importantly, Orange Man Certainly Can't Be Good.
If your belief is that Trump is Bad and must be Bad, you just stick to that, and make something up to explain how he is Bad. That doesn't take smarts. "Trump faked it" isn't straying from the core message.

someone else said it best:
it was staged, but the shooter wasn't supposed to miss
I have to admit that I was more skeptical of this idea before more and more weirdness came out, but...
Why did they recruit a guy who was thrown out of a rifle club for being a terrible shot?
Trump turned his head.

That might have just been an excuse.

"Too much paperwork and trouble...kid was, uh...a bad shot." - Teachers, probably.

I don't think they recruited him, so much as they let it happen.

You're retarded.
Oh no, it's retarded 😔
This is breaking a lot of people.
Thinking the secret service and Trump staged this is a midwit take.
You're smart enough to know that it's not just incompetence that caused this, but not quite smart enough to break out of Orange Man Bad^TM
I see you're feeling charitable this morning.
Nah you have to be smart enough not to buy the "official" narrative that this was a lone gunman, but dumb enough to buy the establishments bullshit.
It's the bell curve meme.
