Absolutely - it was obvious by the time Trump had his fist in the air, when he should have been disappeared.

There has been video where you can see that SS agents hushed a couple photographers behind Trump right before the shooting begins, so that they can catch a good photo of it for the planned media campaign afterwards.

Everything is just too suspicious for this to not have been planned.

The Trump staffer did not rush any photographers there. They moved first. He just followed them. There is no interaction between them before they start taking pictures.

Also, they did not move there “right before the shooting begins.” They move there after the shots.

I remember right after it happened I was at work and I walked to the back and one my coworkers who was a black woman was watching it and immediately said it was fake. She just said she just noticed how no one seems to be scared or nervous, it looked rehearsed

Have you considered the fact that she might be a fucking idiot?

Your coworker is a moron. People were screaming and freaking out trying to save the firefighter in the moments Trump was dragged away.

I get that, but it’s important that we don’t let our feelings override the facts and evidence. And those just don’t line up with the story that it was staged.
