In the photo he is standing in the same spot as he was when he was speaking. So it would make sense that an astute photographer would have already lined up this shot on a tripod from when he was speaking. That's what I would have done
I so desperately want it to be revealed to be a conspiracy because it would further discredit Trump. But I know it isn't, which is so utterly terrifying for our democracy.
How could a Pulitzer prize winning photographer manage to take a very good photo? Surely it must be staged. I bet Trump paid that guy the secret service killed to shoot him and kill an attendee!
It's not upside down, that's just the angle. It's just hanging vertically. Even if it were hanging upside down, though, that wouldn't be unusual for this lot. A lot of Maga fucks fly it that way around here, almost as a way of saying how fucked they see this country. It plays into their victim complex.
You see, it's that sort of conspiracy bullshit that will erode everything.
Could it be the work of a professional photographer bringing their A game? No, it must be staged.
Why are all these random things like that? It must be "preplanned" ...or... Maybe you would have found similar things in any photograph from a political rally.
Thing is, you sound like a classic MAGA when you say daft stuff.
I agree. I don't actually think it's staged having seen the footage for myself and reading statements made by the secret service. My other comments are my first reactions to seeing this image
The flag is likely quite comically large (as in a hundred or more feet long), decently far away, and is being 'hung' by basically small construction cranes, which are holding it such that if there was no wind, it would be hanging vertically.
There is significant wind, so its going with the direction.
Zoom in on the connector point and you can see basically a jerry rigged, oversized winch. Theres a similar winch at the other point on the right side of the image, and the crane is presumably out of frame.
Its perfectly in frame because some photographers are quite good at their jobs.
Trump was allowed to stand up because he could, under his own power, and the shooter had already been declared down at that point.
