I don't believe it was staged (I give it only a 10% chance of so), but rather as others point out, incompetence. But the "Iranian" one I give it a 99% chances of being fabricated... probably not by the Secret Service or CIA, but by some tip "foreign intelligence" agency with the intention of provoking Trump against Iran. It is not the first, or second time of this.
The US flag lowering for the picture and journalists being ushered in to their designated photo position right after the shooting was super sus. If I poorly staged an assassination that would be how I would do it.
Fake cut on his ear thing too. I have no idea if the shooting itself was fake, but everything else around it obviously was. If it wasn't fake, the bullet missing might well make me believe in the devil. Live video of a bird landing on Sander's podium in 2016 remains best evidence for god. Humans clearly closer to the former than the latter.
The first assassination wasn't staged, it was just exposing incompetency within the secret service and security setup. It would be good not to propagate conspiracy theories.
The difference between in the moment adrenaline rush(no way trump gets those often) vs what I'm betting is him making himself panic over nothing serious

I’m not aware of any evidence that the shooting was staged. You wishing it were staged doesn’t make it so.

They’ve never given up on Salman Rushdie. Have to say he’s a tough fucker for an effete magical realism author.

There is a difference between staged and "allowed to happen" and/or "socially engeered to be more probable". Life is complicated.
