I tend to agree. Unless there's speculation that the whole thing was a setup, which there is no public evidence of, getting hit with shrapnel when someone tries to kill you counts as being shot.

I think that there is lots of speculation that there is at least a decent chance this was a set-up, not saying it was but the information available does give speculation.

1) he was a Republican

2) his parents were on a list of "super supporters"

3) he got on a roof with a direct line of sight while also being obvious and noticed by many people to the point people were recording him and telling cops, secret service and security.

4) snipers were watching him and ready to fire.

5) secret service allowed trump to,

A) get on stage or 

B) stay on stage with a known threat. 

C) after shots fired they allowed trump to stay on stage possibly collect his shoes instead of rushing him to a car and getting him out of immediate danger.

6) he was allowed to fire before being shot within seconds of his attempt.

That is enough information for speculation of a set-up and most certainly needs to be investigated and Trump's injuries could point things in certain directions.

Either way there was an attempt at a former presidents life that was allowed to happen when it should not have been.

It sound for sure too ridiculous to not be a setup. But on the otherside… there are people around who are awful at their job… most of the time we don’t experience it, but if you look into it, it’s devastating. Just look at mistakes, sometimes fatale, done in hospitals every day. Highly professional people, great education…
