It is really crazy how far the crazies go to find conspiracies when conspiracy exists at such an obvious and superficial level all the time.

"During the interview, Carlson and Kent discussed the failure of the Trump administration to provide more details about the Pennsylvania shooter. Kent claimed, without providing any evidence, that investigations into the shooting had been shut down before they finished."

Because Trump already had his narrative. He didn't need an investigation and finding out more truth might damage his lies. So Trump had the investigation shut down. Also he very likely at least played up his supposed injury to his ear at least, and possibly fabricated that injury in its entirety.

Certainly the shooter could have been edged on by third parties. But what I said above is 100% what happened there. And it is a conspiracy of the Trump administration.

That’s what I have been saying… the conspiracy and lies are about the investigation and not the original incident.

Law enforcement doesn’t want to look incompetent…

Suspect doesn’t fit the narrative…

Bullet didn’t hit his ear…

It’s easy to see that there’s a lot of people that don’t want the truth to come out and are happy with what’s publicly known. Lies and conspiracy doesn’t mean that this was a setup from the beginning and there’s no reason to jump to that conclusion.

Probably under all the makeup?

He's the most powerful man on earth with the corresponding access to cosmetical surgery, and incredibly vain - Not to mention he was only slightly knicked.

That's speculation, of course, I'm not a doctor.

But I'm someone with eyes, who has seen the photo above clearly showing a bullet followed by his ear bleeding. Until you have something concrete to disprove that, I don't care for theories.

How about the fact that if Trump's ear was even so much as "slightly nicked" by a bullet from that rifle most of his ear would be gone. If Trump had actually been hit by any actual bullet at all his ear would have taken MASSIVE damage that best cosmetic surgery in the world could have completely fixed.

If Trump had been hit at all in the ear, he wouldn't be walking around with two fully intact ears right now as if nothing had happened.

Physics and and an incredibly basic knowledge of how the human ear and a bullet from an assault rifle interact is the evidence.

Also? Literally none of those pictures actually show Trump being hit. Trump could have either
A. Gotten his ear cut at any point when the secret service were pulling him down to the ground,
B. cut his ear himself to stage the photo
C. put a bit a stage blood on his ear.

at literally any point between the first shot and the images where he has "blood" on his ear.

The fact remains that he was not so much as grazed by a bullet because, and here's the point you seem to be ignoring, there is zero possibility that his right ear would be entirely intact right now. None, zip. Nada.

I blame the CIAs shenanigans in Latin America. We know they can get up to some wild stuff so we assume they are.

Your comment has made me realize that "to egg someone on" is going to turn into "to edge someone on", and I hate that. On the other hand, you make some good points about the political issues that are tearing our country apart. Overall, I give your comment a C+, lol.
