There's been some speculation that the recent shooting incident involving Donald Trump was staged. I'd like to explain why this theory doesn't hold up under scrutiny.
The Facts
- Distance: The shooter was approximately 150 meters (164 yards) away
- Weapon: AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle
- Result: Trump was grazed on the ear
Why It Couldn't Be Staged
-
Extreme Precision Required An AR-15 at 150 meters (164 yards) can achieve 1-2 MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy in ideal conditions. This translates to about 2.5-5 cm (1-2 inch) groupings at 100 meters (109 yards), or 3.8-7.6 cm (1.5-3 inch) groupings at our distance of 150 meters (164 yards). A human ear is roughly 6-7 cm (2.4-2.8 inches) tall and 3-4 cm (1.2-1.6 inches) wide. Deliberately hitting just the ear would require inhuman precision.
-
Uncontrollable Variables Wind, minute shooter movements, and target motion can easily cause several centimeters (inches) of deviation at this distance. These factors make deliberate "near misses" extremely risky.
-
Unrealistic Risk If this were staged, the risk of serious injury or death would be unacceptably high. No reasonable person would agree to such a dangerous stunt.
-
Unnecessary Complexity A staged event would likely opt for a much more controllable scenario. The complexity and danger of a long-distance shot make no sense for a fake attempt.
-
Consistent with Real Attempt The outcome (grazing the ear) is much more consistent with a genuine attempt where the shooter missed their intended target (likely the head or torso) due to the difficulties of the shot.
-
Shooter's Background Reports indicate the shooter had no known connection to Trump's security or staff, making a coordinated fake attempt highly implausible.
Conclusion
While it's natural to question unusual events, the technical realities of this shooting strongly support that it was a real, failed attempt rather than a staged incident. The precision required to deliberately graze an ear at 150 meters (164 yards) is beyond practical possibility, and the risks involved in such a stunt would be unjustifiable.
This is the hard analysis I've been waiting on.
How do we reconcile the above considering the Q Proofs of "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" with the fist up, and 7/14 A Week to Remember / Shot heard around the world ?
I tend to agree with another poster here today that stated if Trump had been murdered, we would have a civil war. Did we just barely escape the unthinkable?
I do it this way : the event was not staged but predicted. I think the military has AI way beyond ChatGPT and this level of prediction is possible with enough data and compute power.
