We are living in the strangest timeline ever. I'm sure they told him before he showed at the convention that he needs to look like he's been shot.
They are too stupid to plan a fake assassination attempt. Which resulted in the death of a lunatic supporter who's family hasn't even been contacted by trump yet.
I do find it a bit interesting that Tucker and Don Jr some months back had said they will try to assassinate trump. Now they are quiet about those predictions. You would think they would be screaming "We told you so!"
But the shooter doesn't fit their narrative I guess.
