Please stop with the assassination conspiracy theories. A false-flag might be somewhat plausible if there were just shots fired at the rally; it would certainly be possible to convince some mentally unstable MAGA chud to shoot wildly into the crowd, and then have Trump fake his injury. But we have a photograph that actually catches one of the bullets passing by his head. There's no way he risked someone missing him by inches to fake an assassination.
We have photos showing something between the camera and him... Many people were saying it wasn't the bullet but glass from the teleprompter, etc.
We do not know what distance that object actually was, and our brains are tricked by optical effects very easily. You can just look at some of the "military UFO" videos where zoom and parallax make things look like they're odd shapes and moving at supersonic speeds when they're not.
Is it plausible it was real? Of course. But there's also a lot of "evidence" that doesn't seem to corroborate that as well, like the miraculously healing ear cartilage (that isn't something that regenerates). And Secret Service not removing him from the stage immediately, AND letting him back up for a photo op. Everything needs to be examined with skepticism, especially with an administration we know for a fact lies about everything. Why would we accept it at face value?
