Do you believe the Donald Trump shooting was staged 🤔 🎥

Some say oh it looked so rehearsed.
He had an iconic photo shoot.
His fists were in the air.
Why did he stand up on stage only to make
himself vulnerable again.
He asked for his shoe.
The blood was fake.
He's an actor.
How did the guy get on the roof.
It was a psyop.
And so on and so on and so on. 🙄
I heard it all.
Even the reference to the Simpsons cartoon.
Do you believe that this attempt on the former
US President was staged.
Yes or no. Explain.
Best answer wins. ☺️🇺🇲

I don't know but it's believable that somebody would want to take him out. I think the way he talks about sensitive issues sets a lot of people off and they feel threatened by what they think he might do.

No stop spreading conspiracies.

He would never endanger his own life for a bit of showmanship.

It is not just believable, it is overwhelmingly likely that people exist who wanted to murder him - and that such people still exist. Same goes for Biden. They are people in politics gunning for a powerful position. Someone will have an interest in trying to silence them.

Faking such an event when you are leading the polls and fighting someone who is so confused that he has likely forgotten he is in a presidential race - that would be so incredibly stupid.

@Zonuss just by your comments alone it makes you look exactly like a conspiracy theorist
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Lucia No you're the one getting a temper tantrum because nobody here wants to talk about what you want to talk about. 😂
Lucia · 36-40
@Zonuss Would you mind telling me what that is?
Not staged, but I don't think it was entirely unexpected or unwelcome, tbh.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Who may have welcomed and or expected it? @MistyCee
@jackjjackson People on "both sides," albeit for different reasons, really.

Despite the speakers, his token minorities, etc, the guy is a pretty polarizing figure, and long guns and ammo are easy to get.

Welcoming might not be the best word choice for many people, but I think the bump for Trump should be big, and I'm sure his campaign is trying to capitalize on it. (Not that I'm blaming them for it).

Someone died. Others severely injured.
It wasn't staged. Another maniac with an ar.

Unfortunately, this is being used as a weapon against democrats.
@Carla The Democrats are the ones claiming it was staged, so why shouldn't it be used as a weapon? They started it.
Carla · 61-69, F
@NoThanksLeon bull. Mtg was blaming biden practically before the shooter fell.

So much that he does is staged. So...knee jerk reaction. And some being facetious, i feel certain.

No, why, because a Man protecting his family died, 2 other Individuals ended up in critical care. Photographic evidence showing the bullet traveling towards him. He was supposed to be dead right now, I believe circumstances as bizarre as they are have left us wondering, wondering for a long time
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@BEENOV The only hero in this whole sordid affair is the man who shielded his family with his body. His crime. Being a Trump supporter. Its simply expecting too much of😷 Trump not to cash in financially and with his ego..
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@whowasthatmaskedman how do we know he "shielded" his family? My maybe he is as just victim of a missed shot.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@samueltyler2 Its true that I am accepting the reports that he died shielding his family. I dont know it..😷
If it was staged...wouldn't the gov't and leftist media be playing that angle instead of trying to blame Iran?
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Prison1203 Yes. Let's just ignore facts. Like the secret service ignoring the warning way ahead of time. We saw the video. So you're irrelevant. It wasn't actually staged. It was a set up. 👍

Let's use Alex Jones logic...

1. 1 dead person
2. 2 injured people
3. Identified gun man

Conclusion: Crisis actors

Let's use Insurrectionist-Cry-Baby-trump logic...

1. A guy was stalking him.
2. A guy had him in his sights.
3. A guy with an identified weapon who caused real and fatal damage.
4. He literally kissed the deceased guy's helmet.

Conclusion: A gay rendezvous gone wrong.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@MarkPaul I would never use Jones as an example for anything except evil.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@samueltyler2 ... yet many people sadly still do.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Isn't it horrifying that this question is even being asked?
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@samueltyler2 No. Because real people ask real things. It's 2024.
Were not trying to be cute anymore.☺️
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Zonuss I trust in the forensic experts, I trust the legal system, I will watch for the data to be released.

Staged imo. Looks great for trump, creates yet more division and keeps people hooked on the real game, statism/voting.

@gol979 I agree.

That Jersey shore fist bump photo will hang alongside the moon landing at the Smithsonian. This event will long be remembered , along with the conspiracy theories , just like the moon landing.
DocSavage · M
No it wasn’t staged. Trump would never risk setting Robert De Niro after him

SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M
As a major Trumper, i would actually entertain the thought that it was staged, except for the loving father that died covering his family and the two others that were grievously wounded....
SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M
@Diotrephes @Zonuss fair, but i don't believe that about my guy; go on all you want if you feel the need, but this is what I'm saying
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SilkandLace2 You'll just have to watch and see for yourself. You will remember this thread. That's a promise.☺️
Diotrephes · 70-79, M
@SilkandLace2 enjoy.

@Convivial What.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@Zonuss William of Occam was some English nobleman back in the 1700s i think... He came up with a saying which basically says don't over complicate things, in most cases the simplest explanation is the truth... Now known as Occam's razor ;)
REMsleep · 41-45, F
There is so much propaganda and fake news going around these days that my own mom who is educated and extremely level headed told me that she thinks that it was staged.

Other presidents have been shot or shot at before. I don't understand why it's hard to believe that in today's super polarized climate that someone like Trump would be shot at too? He is the ultimate mud slinger and has openly done many things to push the boundaries of decency and power limits within the presidential office.

I do on the other hand understand why someone might find the shooting to be just too convenient for him. Also him raising his fist in the air looked staged but he is always "mentally" quick on his feet so the fist pump doesn't convince me that it was fake.
Until I have more evidence I go with the most likely scenario. Some wacked out dude just shot him period.
Others were hurt and Trump had repeatedly asked for more security. Security got way laxed. Makes secret service look bad. Some people in the crowd spotted the shooter way before security.
Drones should have been used like they do for the president.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@REMsleep Good point.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
It seems a very unlikely explanation.

What is the point of speculating and theorising? That creates even more hostility and disunity? 🤷‍♀️
Diotrephes · 70-79, M
@SunshineGirl Did the bullet pass through his hair?

@SunshineGirl Not really. If you're divided it's because you want to be.
Don't allow others to dictate your emotions or feelings. ☺️
jeancolby · 31-35, F
No. there are dead people.
QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F
No I do not think it was staged.
Diotrephes · 70-79, M
@QueenOfZaun
No I do not think it was staged.
What will you say about his undamaged ear?
QueenOfZaun · 26-30, F
@Diotrephes His ear was damaged? People died. The shooter was using real bullets.
Diotrephes · 70-79, M
@QueenOfZaun We shall soon see.
If it was, it was as good as moon landing
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Royricky09 that jersey shore fist bump photo is gunna be hanging at the Smithsonian next to the lunar landing photo in a few years .
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
I really can’t even begin to think about this one until the full complete reports on the MLKFR, MalcolmX, RFK and JFK killings are released and fully studied.

Let the investigation find out! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm not going play the fortune teller. Nor should anyone else.
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
Although it is very suspicious how easily the shooter got on that roof I do NOT believe this was staged.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Moneyonmymind If it's suspicious why not give that in itself more benefit of the doubt. 🤔
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@Zonuss man i don’t even know anymore

@Zonuss I mean he wouldnt have stood still if he knew it was coming..Hes just lucky the shooter had the wrong weapon for the job and it seems no training..And America was lucky. A dead Trump would have meant a certain win for his replacement and a definite Project 2025..😷
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@whowasthatmaskedman Do you believe then, that Donald Trump is for or against Project [b]2025.[/b]
JSul3 · 70-79
@Zonuss He has touted P2025 in the past. About 35 folks in his admn worked on it, and it is the Heritage Foundation playbook from the Reagan days.
It has taken time to fully implement and now it can be if Trump wins.

@Jimmy2016 That's even more dangerous. A good and experienced hunter can get the job done.
Poppies · 61-69, F
@Zonuss But I think if he were going to take a chance on someone wounding him without hurting him badly, he would insist on the most accurate weapon.

@JSul3 Not really. It was a crowd of people behind Trump.
Unfortunately that can put someone's life in danger when stray bullets are flying around. We saw something like this happen a few days at a party. Let us keep the family in our prayers.😔

@royalblue1193 But that's the point It was more like he was shot at. Not really shot in a major way.
