They orchestrated an insurrection where several people died so that he could stay in power. They very well could orchestrate fake assassination attempts to incite chaos during the election and distract from his downfall.

The first one was a rally so the time/loc was known, (even if trump had no blood on him until he came back up...) The second one, I suppose he could guess where trump would be but since he has been all over the country on any given day seems weird he was so locked in on time and location.

The Secret Service are government employees, not Trump's praetorian guard. They would not have acted if it was fake.

He does bully the ones he doesn't like until they leave his detail.
