Well, the one where his ear got scratched, the FBI refuses to investigate it. That definitely makes me curious. They also seemed to have set positions for photographers to get his picture as he raises his fist with the flag in the background. There's certainly some strange things going on with that.
I haven't watched videos of that attempt, but has Trump moved from his position after the shot? If not, I don't see it as implausible that they positioned a photographer in advance to get the flag in the background. That one is explainable, we are talking about the country that has its flag fucking everywhere, even on underwear.
I find the fact that they took the foto at all after the "attempt" as one of the biggest proofs that trump was not really scared about the situation.
There's a guy who, calmly but quickly, gathers up photographers and puts them in one position, then moves then to the second position (which is the one with that flag). It's very weird behavior for a shooting literally just having happened.
Thanks, that is even more weird than positioning them before the whole thing.
