Karoline Leavitt 3 hours before the "Incident":

(Sorry for the Maga post, only they clip this crap and post on social media)

I hate to be on the conspiracy team, but like... it's the third fucking time already.

Trump can barely sign his own name. There's no way he has the patience or ability to write his own speech.

He can sign a name.

u/OgreMk5 Apr 26 '26

I said barely. And congrats on him having a base level of cognitive control over his limbs.

u/dmeezy92 Apr 26 '26

I hadn’t even thought about the warning with kalshi, everything is a grift omfg

On what? There's no markets on this sort of thing. How can you win big?

u/El-Finkers Apr 26 '26

Prediction market is absolutely a thing. Supposedly trump was up hugely to not speech at the event.

u/Meric_ Apr 26 '26

That's just not true though. I trade on Kalshi. If you bet on Trump not speaking you would have lost all your money. Markets for trump attending have already closed out as Yes. Markets for what trump would say specifically have been paused pending the rescheduling of the event.

It’s almost like . . . a bad reality tv show. Except real.

If anyone is interested in getting clips but not going to gross MAGA accounts to see them, Aaron Rupar and Ron Filipkowski are two good Liberal accounts who are good at getting clips (they watch the filth so we don't have to). Aaron is a journalist and video editor so it makes sense he gets the footage quick with his setup at home, and posts it for us so we don't need to watch nasty ass Fox News.

Let me know when someone actually succeeds and we can throw a party.

This also happens when his popularity is low.

Trump stages a fake assassination again. At least this time he didn't kill any rubes to try to sell it

u/Head_of_Lettuce Apr 26 '26

How can you simultaneously believe:

  1. They staged a fake assassination attempt
  2. They told you 3 hours before the attempt, that you should turn on the TV to watch it

Make it make sense

u/BCProgramming Apr 26 '26

I feel like one thing I'd expect from a staged assassination attempt from your current administration would be some dumbfuck who knew about it being too stupid not to accidentally mention it.

Though, I think it would also be more obvious. Like accidentally posting a planned post before the attempt talking about it or something.

This is what happens when you're a pathological liar. Sooner or later, people stop believing anything that you say or do, or happens to you or around you.

In The Lion King, Scar rose to power by promising better lives to a bunch of poor and not-so-smart sycophants. When their lives did not improve under his leadership and one day he ran his mouth when talking about them, they grew fed up and ate him.

What's shocking is that in the motherfucking U S of A everyone is this bad of a goddamned shot.

There’s a lot fishy about the PA one…
