How can it be a hoax if it resulted in the death of 2 people. You really think Trump hired somebody to fire live rounds at him? I think you're in the minority here, I too thought it was awfully convenient with the timing and the lack of information about the shooter, but I just can't believe Trump would allow someone to take a shot at him.

Could have been someone else (not Trump) allowing an attempt on Trump's life, figuring:

If they stop it early, they're heroes and Trump gets a boost. Could have planned to not let him get shots off and fucked up that part.
If Trump actually dies, it's a tossup election at worst and Trump is more self-interested than ideologically conservative anyway.

Possible, definitely not a sure thing.
