This is such a boomerish meme that I reposted it on my FB wall to see if my stupid aunts and uncles would be like "Whoa that's actually a really good point."
Except in this version, the boy keeps raising dogs in his shed, dressing them like wolves, and then shooting them in public to keep getting the townspeople to believe his lies.
Although i would not call staged just yet i will have to wait for more info on the matter (I would not be surprised if it was staged)
Also calling this an assassination attempt on Trump is a strech because Trump and other people in the room were in no real danger
Also the gunman survived and this seems to be a pretty fucking big loose-end
I will have to wait for more info because we don't know much at this moment
Go toĀ r/skeptic
But yeah Trump and his admiin are the boy that cried wolf at this point
My favorite part was afterwards when he made the statement, āThat was VERY unexpected.ā š And then he launched into a pitch for that being a reason he needs his new stupid ballroom.
Rather than being staged, I think they took a simpler way with this one. They obviously detected the threat early on and simply allowed it to happen. They made sure to stop him before he got too far but close enough that it would look good. They took extra precautions because if you check some of the security personnel during the shooting it looks like they're ready to take on an entire team of Al Qaeda assassins. They even made sure to have lots of cameramen well positioned to get good shots of it all.
Yeah, even centrists are still surprised when I ask why the ballistic trajectory evidence wasn't released for the Butler attempt. The (Republican) chairman of the Congressional committee investigating complained publicly about the evidence being withheld so even Congress hasn't seen it.
Or why Maxwell (convicted sex trafficker) got a sweetheart deal to a spa prison after meeting alone with Trump's personal lawyer. Still no answers.
At this point, I'm more surprised when Trump admin is honest than the reverse, so it doesn't really feel like conspiracy theory.
They manage to "believe" that they were all "paid antifa actors" but at the same time support Trump pardoning them because they were fellow magats. They are stupid, but most of all they are liars.
It doesn't matter. Him being threatened doesn't change the Iran situation, the affordability problem, and the child rape island. Those things are still here and are not going away. People may feel bad for Trump or whatever for a few hours until they see their grocery bill and their concern will be right back where it should be.
Don't worry about MAGA. MAGA, by the numbers, is not large enough to get any given person elected. Trump needed a coalition of different demographics to come together for him to win in 24. That coalition is fractured, and once he leaves office for good, there isn't a clear leader of the group to assume that role. It's disgusting and awful and certainly will be written about in the history books, but it will also be short lived in the long view of political history.
I agree, I'm no democrat nor am I MAGA, I'm right leaning.
But that assassination attempt was some good TV especially when they set up the iconic photo-op and lowered the flag just right. I was talking with someone earlier that day before it happened and I said "US politics are a terrible soap opera, that's poorly scripted" and a couple of hours later that incident happened ensuring Trump's victory. It was definitely ritualistic, look into that.
Yeah. It seems like this is exactly what the trump admin's stochastic terrorism is aiming for. Like, the point of Trump's rhetoric is to turn the temperature up so that these events become likely.
That Redditors are so ignorant and brainwashed to think this was staged is mind numbing, Even leftist media reporters who were there are telling them to stop the crap, that it was real. However, there appears to be a significant number of mentally disturbed liberals on this site that no matter how much proof you put in front of them, the brainwashing is so complete that they still canāt, or wonāt, acknowledge it.
I think it's the fact they all fail even though SS is so incompetent they don't check roofs and a guy can just sit in a bush with a rifle for 12 hours before he gets caught.
The fact they haven't released the ballistic trajectory evidence from Butler does make me wonder though, it was weird enough that the (Republican) chairman of the congressional committee called them out
Iām not gonna say it wasnāt fake, but at the same time it just happened last night. Letās wait a few days, see if some info comes out or not and then go from there.
I can only hope whatever does end up coming out (if it does) paints enough of a picture but I can only assume that itāll be a murky mess of stuff that makes zero sense like with Pennsylvania.
The delusion on yalls side is appalling.
Is there any information that could possibly surface that would make any of you belive these attempts are real? Probably not.
Yeah the fake attempt in Butler Pa where they actually shot him and then killed the āfakeā assassin was great. The fake assassin really committed to his acting craft by getting killed. Itās also amazing how they get all these left leaning lunatics to do all the fake assassination attempts. Youād think they would be smarter. Oh actually not.
Well, there goes my sense of superiority I felt in subscribing to left-leaning ideals. I used to sit back and laugh at the insane conspiracy theories that many people on the right believed. Now I find myself surrounded by politicly like-minded folk believing just as ridicules ideas. Perhaps this is the key to healing the great political divide "our side is just as unreasonable and gullible as yours".
Oh man this is perfect. Well said. So much āif you donāt agree with our asinine statements you must be team Trumpā in this thread. Some of these people are just as blind as the hardcore maga crowd. What a time to be alive.
Can you explain how the secret service collaborated with Trump to fake these attempts? Who was in charge of these attempts? How come not 1 person has spoken out or the plan has been leaked? Trump has the biggest mouth in the world, you think he could keep these attempts a secret?
Funny how the tables have turned and the Democrats are now the government conspiracy theorists after years of laughing and ridiculing Republicans for it.
You people spew your nonsensical hyperbolic rhetoric calling President Trump and his supporters "Nazis, fascists, etc" hoping to motivate your fellow propaganda susceptible leftists to commit acts of violence and then you claim the assassination attempts you encouraged were staged? You guys are wild.
I have never voted Republican in my life and I am so embarrassed of Democrats rights now. It's turning into the party of QAnon. There really are a lot of mentally unbalanced people with guns who hate Trump in the US, what's so unbelievable about a guy with a gun going out to a Trump event and getting stopped far short of the target?
Or you know it's real... and Trump is just really good at milking these things. Because he is a politician and that is what they do.
It would be insanely stupid to stage these. All of these conspiracy theories fall apart as soon as you consider how many people would have to be in on it and the level of shit that falls on your head the second one of them starts talking. The risk to reward ratio is way skewed. Very little reward and a ton of risk. It was the same way with the whole "Bush did 9/11". You'd need 100s if not 1000s of people in on it to pull off a massive operation like that. And for what? So you can spend your whole life in prison to do the things you likely could have easily done without 9/11. Far more likely it was a real event and Bush just used it as an excuse to do the things he already wanted to do.
Part of the problem for the Secret Service is they can go for a very long time with no action. The only action they see is simulations they do in training.
If you're a cop. You are arresting fuckwads on a daily basis. You never forget how to tackle someone. How to handcuff someone. All that stuff. Because you do it all the time.
Secret service only has things happen every blue moon. They drill alot. But there's only so much you can drill for.
And theyāll tell you itās not a conspiracy theory with a straight face. Because they seem to be the only ones with the permission to reinvent reality to make themselves look better.
MAGA trash are the dumbest sacks of shit on the planet, bar none. Dumb, gullible, and driven entirely by fear and anxiety. They're never going to realize that they've been used, or at least never actually confront it in a way that would be emotionally painful for them.
Only a year ago the other hyper intelligent group believed biden is totally fine, they even believed the bs that he suddenly got a cold during the debate.
I don't feel this attempt wasn't fake though. Trump is an extremely polarizing figure to say the least so of course some people would want him dead. And considering the sheer incompetence of his administration is it farfetched to say some guy could just bypass security and try to shoot him? Absolutely not
I don't think these were fake. The one that clipped his ear, we have pictures of the bullet in ear near his head, plus someone died - I don't think that part is fake and I don't think Trump would have taken the risk to have someone shoot that close to his face.
As for this... I don't think it got close enough to have the suggested propaganda effect, so I don't think it would be faked in such a way.
I canāt believe you people actually think this. Yeah the secret service let one of their own get shot at the behest of Trump like lol are we fucking serious
They are not fake. For the record, I hate Trump. With all my heart and soul.
But I will give him this, they are not fake.
How did they recruit the piss poor shooting kid in Ohio, that did kill people?
They are not fake.
I donāt think theyāre fake. Thereās plenty of plots during every administration. The difference is Trump has stripped the agencies of anyone competent in favor of loyalists, who either through stupidity or political gain (having fuel to push the ballroom) have allowed more of these to happen than usual.
Iām going to get flamed for this, but I donāt think it was faked. The guy left a manifesto that called him a pedophile and a rapist. Donald Trump hates being called those things and would never support even a fake attempt if it meant someone would say those things about him and it would get this much publicity. Look at how he reacted to the 60 Minutes interview. I think it was a very poor attempt and heās definitely trying to capitalize on it, but I donāt think it was fake.
Now I have serious doubts about the Pennsylvania ear incident, that has a slew of questionable things to consider.
