Maybe his watch was correct and it was am, not pm when it was recorded. I don’t believe he was being honest about the speech being live. There was a blip in the video feed which makes me think there was some editing. Also it is highly unlikely that he gave a speech at 7:30pm. Maybe I’m wrong, we’re there any witnesses?

Something which just occurred to me...
We can safely assume that a number of pro-Trump PACs are currently working on Federal lawsuits, which they will file as soon as the DNC crowns its new nominee in a few weeks.
The Courts will then be tasked with the possibility of needing to disqualify a candidate from appearing on the general-election ballot. (Sound familiar?)
If that does happen, then apart from a lot of mostly-peaceful protesting, there will be a completely novel and unique situation: one in which a major-party candidate runs effectively un-opposed, because the government has manipulated the electoral system into creating what is, in practice, a single-party ballot.
That would be bad.

I'm keeping an open mind on this one.
The whole thing just seems a tad... theatrical.
Dodging a bullet was exactly what Trump needed to rise to figurative sainthood in the eyes of the faithful.
And how interesting that the would-be assassin is the only angry 20 year old kid in America with no social media footprint.

I've seen this theory floated a lot here recently and I'm curious how people think it played out.

(For the record, I'm purely playing devil's advocate here, I'm curious myself but I just feel like the likelihood of the Government that has vilified, attacked, harassed and smeared would allow him to claim he was shot for as long as he has if that weren't the case.)

I’m going to recommend a switch from the leaded stuff to unleaded for a few weeks, maybe just beer, C- would be preferred. In all seriousness you do know someone was killed? Apparently a very good person.

Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre may slap each other around when they're in the ring, but behind closed doors, they're both employees of World Wrestling Entertainment, both working off the same script.
The number of people who believe that Pro Wrestling is real should provide some clarity as to how so many people can apparently believe that Government is what it appears to be as well.
To be honest, so am I. I'm kind of deliberately trying to be as wild as possible, to establish an upper boundary as to how wild Cordy, Brainey, etc., can therefore go. Neither of them are going to claim a conspiracy which I've already claimed, because they both think I'm a liberal cuck.
Oh, yes. I'm not saying that the other sniper wasn't firing real bullets. It had to be believable. Ordering a few civilian casualties is nothing to these people. We're talking about the same bunch of people who spent a whole year convincing everyone to let a pharmacist inject poison into their arm.

Ok, you might have a plausible point. The scary part is that we may know the truth at some point.
