Lots of people seem keen to jump to this being staged. That makes zero sense: Trump was already winning before this, especially with Biden (his preferred opponent) looking to hang on to the nomination.
Trump was already winning before this
Do you just not understand how elections work? You don’t “win” before votes are cast.

conspiracy theorist in me sees several venues where it is Very beneficial to POTUS45 to stage this:

Still could be some morron that didn’t get his signature at the rally pulling out his Beretta…
