I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    This is the sort of information I was looking for, thanks. Hadn’t heard about any of this stuff before. I don’t know enough to make a judgment yet but I wanted to hear where people were coming from

    Edit: wait this video is from a previous assassination attempt, I’m talking about the most recent one at the WH correspondence dinner

      Their point is that the dinner attempt is just another poorly executed staged attempt for publicity and sympathy from a wannabe dictator that’s losing support extremely quickly.

      He started a war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files. That is so clearly obvious that even MAGA informed have been turning against him.

      This reeks of a blatant attempt to artificially increase support like many two bit dictators have done on the past. It worked last time.

      with 3 attempts so far, its more than a coincidence, of course right wing MSM, and fox arnt going to label like this way.

        My question was why people believe this. He told me why he believes it. So that was the information I was looking for. That doesn’t necessarily mean that I think the conspiracy stuff is convincing
