I mean with the ear 'injury' and the red 'blood' streaked on his face, just perfect for the 'let's fight' exhortation. I mean, come on, fake blood capsules in the mouth have been used for decades.

And the Secret Service and local LEOs somehow let the shooter get up on that low foof with a clear sight line to the stage, but their sniper took him out immediately after the 'shooting'. Couldn't have the shooter talking about how it was all planned.

It worked. trump got the 'heroic' photo, got headlines for weeks and the sympathy vote and won the election.

Another rethug dirty trick...the all-time dirtiest.
