MAGA is starting to see lies. I don’t know if MAGA will all of a sudden gain common sense or if they will spiral into conspiracy theories.

MAGA seems to follow Victor Orban’s playbook on just about everything. There’s a recent article in the Washington Post stating that Russia proposed a staged assassination attempt to boost his odds in the election he just lost (badly). It’s not a stretch to imagine similar tactics in the United States most recent presidential election.
There are many events in the Trump presidency that are very suspicious. Extremely suspicious.

If it wasn’t he wouldn’t shut up about it.
The fact that it’s never spoken about is suspicious on its own.

>Ali Alexander, the far-right activist who organized the Stop the Steal campaign in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, has a slightly different take on the assassination, claiming instead that it was further evidence that Trump is the Antichrist, something many MAGA figures have also been considering this week.
>“To be clear: if Donald Trump didn’t receive a miracle, then it was deception or a dark sign,” Alexander wrote in a five-page PDF he posted to his Telegram channel on Tuesday evening. “There is biblical prophecy in Revelation 13:3 apparently about the Antichrist being struck on the head.”
>The passage in question actually reads: “I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.”
Welp, I’m convinced. I was already convinced 10 broken commandments and seven deadly sins ago, and the litany of evidence from the past couple of decades too, but I’m also convinced now.

People who believe conspiracy theories about their political enemies start believing conspiracies about a president that start to dislike?
I’m shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

It is really crazy how far the crazies go to find conspiracies when conspiracy exists at such an obvious and superficial level all the time.
“[During the interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cbw1utqzHg&t=5197s), Carlson and Kent discussed the failure of the Trump administration to provide more details about the Pennsylvania shooter. Kent claimed, without providing any evidence, that investigations into the shooting had been shut down before they finished.”
Because Trump already had his narrative. He didn’t need an investigation and finding out more truth might damage his lies. So Trump had the investigation shut down. Also he very likely at least played up his supposed injury to his ear at least, and possibly fabricated that injury in its entirety.
Certainly the shooter could have been edged on by third parties. But what I said above is 100% what happened there. And it is a conspiracy of the Trump administration.

I don’t think it was staged, but nothing makes sense about it.
ImpressiveMethod8624 on
You mean the way they positioned members from the press for best photo op hoisted the flag above him then lifted him up to the podium with an active shooter investigation going on? They say they’re smart but I don’t believe them. If it had been real secret service agents would have been all over him running him to safety.
CPOx on
My biggest question about that event is how did they know there wasn’t a second shooter? Did they just make a lucky assumption there was only one? There could have been a second shooter in a tree or another rooftop somewhere, but Trump literally had his dramatic moment on stage with his body on full display again.

It was obvious, the day it happened.

I don’t think staged, but it’s pretty visible in the video that instead of getting shot, he just banged his ear on a secret service agent’s holster as he was diving for cover.
IndependentSpell8027 on
Not sure the assassination attempt was staged. 100% sure Trump never got hit by a bullet.

Wait only MAGA thinks that? lol

A person died for that show.

It was staged to create this hero mantra. I got my ear pierced back in 2003 while on Spring Break. I haven’t worn an earring in 23 years, yet you can still see a hole in my ear. If a person’s ear was pierced by a bullet, that thing would’ve been blown off.
Too bad it is too late, and we’ve allowed this conman to grift billions of dollars off the US people, and absolutely make a mockery of our country. I don’t care for the “I’m sorry” messages today, it is too late.

Kinda odd how it really wasn’t in the news much and the government hardly talked about it.

If it were real, the Secret Service would have had him off of that stage in the blink of an eye.

We all know where this is headed, Trump is a Democrat plant that was sent to discredit real conservatives and this is all liberals fault

So now how do they feel about one of them being killed for that stunt?
Redsox19681968 on
MAGA will continue to excuse the lies as long as they can enjoy the racism and misogyny.
EyeOfTheTiger77 on
If it was staged, 2 people died for this political stunt. That’s straight murder of two people for nothing but a campaign boost.
NoBrain1506 on
If this is actually true, I want those same people to ask themselves, who was actually in a cult and being brainwashed for the past decade?
Aggressive-Will-4500 on
Wow, they only took 2 years to figure out that it had all the hallmarks of a false flag photo-op?
MajorBeyond on
And a real person died as a result. THAT should be the news and the downfall of the administration.
lol pretty obvious. I mean look at his ear post shooting. Does it look like anything other than ketchup was smeared on it?

The poor man who was murdered.

He was 100% not shot in the ear.
He may have been hit with a bit of shrapnel, but that is the worst you can say happened to him.
chrisnavillus on
It was obvious to me instantly. I was at a party surrounded by MAGAs when it happened and could tell 2 things: 1. It was staged. 2. He had just won the election.

Conspiracy theories about the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting have ramped up in recent weeks as once steadfast Trump supporters turn on the president.

Of course it was. Only morons believe otherwise.

someone actually died at the speaking event. So it’s hard to fit that in with the hoax narrative. I agree the situation is suspect though. https://www.npr.org/2024/07/14/nx-s1-5039293/corey-comperatore-man-killed-in-trump-assassination-attempt
