Was trump’s assassination attempt real or staged. IMO it is something trump would do. And I do think it was staged. Why? Because trump is a coward and if he didn’t know what was going to happen he would have found someplace to hide instead doing a “photo-op “ like he did. The fact someone died was acceptable collateral damage to someone like trump. Then there was wound to his ear. Doesn’t look like anything had happen to it. The doctor who treated trump ,as not the one to release a report hut instead a strong trump supporter Ronny Jackson, who at one point was the White House doctor, released the written report on the wound. Below is another take that actually does make sense when you think about for a minute. So was the assassination attempt real or fake? I suspect we will never know for sure if it was real or fake…. “You can Community Notes me all you want. Donald Trump’s assassination attempt was staged. If it was real, the Secret Service would have rushed him off the stage. Instead, they propped him up & let him stand there out in the open saying “Fight!” three times.” x.com/daviddunn177/status/1883945992241963016?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

I absolutely think it was staged and some unfortunate soul was caught in the cross fire.

He is certainly capable of doing something like this. Maybe one day he will blurt it out by mistake

Trump assassination attempts are definitely fake.
Covid was a naturally occurring virus that jumped from bats to pangolins to people and it was simply a co-incidence that a lab cited for poor experimental controls that was partially funded by the US to study gain-of-function on deadly viruses and the proven said contaminated pangolins in open-air fresh meat markets were in the same city.
The Right to Free Speech is highly overrated. Speech is dangerous and must be tightly monitored and controlled!

I think it was staged. And its absolutely disgraceful that this was not followed up. Someone died. They deserve a full and accurate investigation. It's just been brushed under the carpet.

I can’t help but think it was a staged event that went sideways, and the two people who died were just collateral to attain what he and his handlers wanted.
I feel this way b/c he said very little about the alleged assassin, but was able to pose for a campaign pic during the event, and he was allowed to stop and raise his fist for maximum impact. There was very little verifiable damage to his head/ear, if any at all. I would put nothing past him in his quest to stay out of prison by gaining the presidency. He is utterly vile.

I hope I think it was a real attempt but I don’t think he was really wounded to the extent he made it seem. Exactly this. Corey Comperatore literally died. Of course Trump made the most of it. Do you know a single politician who wouldn't make the most of an assassination attempt? It was real. But hey, don't believe me...maybe you'll believe an eye witness photographer's account from 20' away reported by NBC: www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6X5Hj8uLr8 |

I absolutely think it was staged and some unfortunate soul was caught in the cross fire. I do too. Especially with the fact that his ear was just barely winged, yet he had a huge-ass bandage on it. and then it was magically healed up totally. Winging his ear like that instead of actually hitting his much larger body mass seems like it would have been such a tiny, tiny chance that it doesn't seem possible to me for it to have been someone actually trying to take him out. And yes, I think there should have been an in-depth investigation into the whole thing. |

Oh.My.God.
Right. The Trump campaign hired a 20 something year old to shoot him in the head, but just a little. Ya, that’s it. Shoot him in the ear.
Seriously, the dumbest conspiracy shit I’ve read.
Dumb.

I don't think they hired that 20-year old kid to shoot him. I think the 20 year old kid was hired to be there, and to take the fall. and unfortunately, we'll never know the truth of it all because that 20 year old kid was killed. fancy that.

I’ve always questioned why the Secret Service let him get up and pull that photo op stunt. If there’s someone out there literally shooting at you, who the hell in their right mind gets up like that to make themselves a bigger target especially if you don’t know where the shooter is or if there is more than one? It’s just never made any sense to me either on the part of Trump or the Secret Service personnel that were there that day protecting him.

I am in the camp of those who wouldn’t put it past Trump to do something like that. But I don’t think that is the case here. If it was staged why would they aim at his head? All it would take would be for him to move his head slightly and it would have been a different outcome. That being said?m, I do think that it’s odd that he took the chance for a photo op and that secret service let him.

Good Lord. Posts like this is why people say you have Trump derangement Syndrome.
So, we are going to believe that the Secret Service (or DHS, whichever was on duty that day), let this happen as well? Not going to be believe first hand, eye witnesses?
You can dislike Trump all you want. But furthering this conspiracy theory just makes you look like a lunatic.

At this point I can't say that I think it was fake/set up. I can say I think he rolled with it, embellished it and played it for all its worth. Lied about it afterwards.
On the other hand, if I had to pick any POTUS in our history to do this, it'd be him. He's a batsh!t crazy narcissist.
But no, unless further evidence is uncovered I think the deceit came after the fact. Well on this subject anyway. Lies and deceit are his thing, each and every day. His "truths" are whatever helps him his "me, me, me" subject to change. If true facts aren't palatable to him at the moment, go "alternative" and deny, backpedal and spin, spin, spin. I have thought it must be exhausting to keep up with all the falsehoods he spews until I realized he cares not. Words expire as soon as they leave his mouth. He'll say the opposite thing tomorrow and not give it much thought. Last words out = current truth in his warped narcissistic mind. Do not question.

I think it was an attempt that nicked his ear. If the bullet had hit the ear, the ear shell would have been torn to shreds and would have needed surgical repair. Then DT got all the mileage out of it he could.

Very sus.
Almost shot, waving to the crowd and asking about his shoes... I'm still not convinced it was 100% real.

We will never know for sure, but a lot about it doesn’t add up. That’s all I’m going to say. 100% agree. I'm not saying that it was fake, but there are a lot of unanswered questions. The fact that he was unwilling to release his medical report is really suspect. I think there's a good chance his ear was grazed by glass fragments, not a bullet. It also doesn't make sense to me that in the audio recordings, the secret Service agents are concerned about his shoes. And how or why did they allow him to raise his fist? Regrettably, it seems unlikely we'll ever have all of the information. And without all of the information, there will always be suspicions and conspiracy theories. |

No, I do not think it was fake. I am not going to fall down the rabbit hole into conspiracy theories. Just no. Do I think Trump totally milked it? Absolutely.

Dumb. I don't think he was shot. If he got hit by a bullet from that weapon, it would have been more than a scratch. I think some glass scratched his ear. Maybe it was an assassination attempt, but no bullet touched him. That the Secret Service let him stand up, take his time to get his shoes is highly suspect. They had no idea where the shooter was and what was going on. Trump's face should not have been seen at all after the shot. |

Scale of 1-10 how competent do you have to be to fake two attempted assassinations?
Keep it secret?
When have you seen Trump’s people be that capable? They can’t write executive orders without AI. They can’t spell Colombia. The coup attempt was disorganized, thankfully. The legal challenges to prove the election was stolen, Trump wasn’t guilty, mostly failures if it wasn’t for friendly judges.
Is it simply *that easy* to fake assassinations?
