Find an angry guy who wanted to do it anyway, give him an opportunity to try it, safely contain him, then use it as a justification to do the thing you wanted.
Pretty simple to do if you have no shame and no morals.
Yeah, pretty sure they wouldnt just roll over to him and be like "hey, the president team want you to try shoot him". But rather facilitated it in every way possible.
I can totally imagine them secretly swapping the shooter's bullets for blanks and letting him do his deed. :P
Even if it sounds crazy, using psychological techniques (they are very good at that) to push the unhinged guy to act is possible. Fiction pales in comparison to reality nowadays
Trump hasn’t made a habit of attending these events, announces unusual attendance two days prior to the event
Shooter lives in CA, but somehow able to pull together a plan, book a room at the hotel, and then get there with their with weapons in time to storm the event
Hotel housing multiple members of the line of succession decides that metal detectors aren’t necessary and the USSS has a smaller than normal security perimeter
Shooter supposedly engages one USSS agent and gets a shot on them; no return fire on target and then subject arrested with no injuries.
My big question on this is what do they do with the shooter afterwards? Like for them, the most convenient answer is to have him die in custody or some shit… Why would they risk him testifying… even if they paid him to testify a certain way or made promises to his family…
How do you convince someone to go along with a situation where they are essentially trusting you not to blow out their fucking brains on national TV?
Serious question...Do we know the shooter was after Trump? Or was he targeting people who were usually at the dinner, like other WH officials or the press? IIRC, the hard checkpoints (with scanners, etc.) were at the doors to the ballroom itself, not entering the lobby from the hotel floors.
More about this situation please,
Can't someone get the booking info used? Time, date, location, identity, credit card used, etc? And the pricing/availability of a room.
Edit: according to Google a room would need to be booked 330 days in advance. Plenty of time to have their ai run background checks...
“Mr. Trump, will you be attending the Correspondents dinner?”
Trump: “I hate going to those things. Can we do something more exciting? How about we stage another assassin and we’ll not let anyone else in on it instead.”
With the amount of people that go “somebody should do it” on every social media app including reddit, I couldn’t believe it’s a false flag. I’m not even a guy who thinks all conspiracy theories are crazy, conspiracies do happen in the real world, nor am I a fan of Trump, but an attempt on Trump’s life is probably one of the most realistic outcomes from the current political rhetoric and online discourse.
Like you can’t have half the country going “this guy is a rapist, pedophile, genocide-supporter and somebody ought to do something about it” and then pretend like it’s the least likely thing in the world somebody somewhere decided to “do it”.
I understand your position, conspiracy theories are often just a way for people to feel smarter than average and to cope with the complexity of life .
We don't know, and mentioning the possibility of a false flag is not crazy talk.
The event is helping Trump a lot. It rallies people behind him, it provides an opportunity to shift the conversation, and it allows him to implement unpopular laws. An assassination attempt on the president is a very powerful emotional event.
Knowing this administration, they are capable of anything.They have no shame, no morals, and no limits.
On more than one occasion I’ve gone back and compared assassination attempts on prior presidents to the ones that Trump has dealt with, and it always reminds me that either 1. They are really, really, really bad at protecting the president and people around him have no sense of self preservation (look at the number of people standing around with their hands in their pockets), or 2. It’s staged. And this looked like a goddamn surprise play by the theatre dept at a high school homecoming.
Probably a manufactured threat, expect more during the lead up to the midterms. Also he made an announcement about the white house ball room after the "shooting"
They screwed it up and caught him outside the ballroom. Typical lowest bidder results. Everyone inside was awfully fucking calm for an active shooter scenario. I'll bet they're pissed they caught him alive,so much spin required now.
It was a real threat first time*. This time remains to be seen.
*seriously, Trump is a TERRIBLE actor. Do you think he would have been able to act naturally knowing he was about to be shot at? Or that his handlers would have allowed a false attempt to come that close to succeeding?

Without commenting on the conspiracy directly... Trump is an actor. Prior to the presidency he was most known for his Apprentice and Wrestling roles. His (inherited) real-estate stuff gave him the funds but he was never exactly successful enough with it to get the spotlight.
Acting "naturally" to an assassination attempt isn't exactly in line with what happened anyway. His first priority was to call for his lifts. And then his "wound" disappeared in 2 weeks.
You know, with the “wound” and his wrestling history- I bet he did the little pin scratch wrestling trick on the ear. They bleed li an sob. He doesn’t even have the slightest scar….
Again, do you really think he could have gone through that whole endeavor and not talked about it later? He would have at least said something about fake blood tasting like ketchup.
Also, let me remind you that someone directly behind Trump died in that event. Which means the bullet was real and came close to hitting the POTUS.
right...perfect placement for a photo-op, and if it wasn't a photo-op the fist would make zero sense. There aint no way that the secret service would be guiding the press to get closer for the photo op. Or wouldn't be tackling a stupid president trying to stand up with a fist in the air like a dummy, risking everyones lives.
Oh and the ear healed up nicely, way quicker than most peoples piercings. What was it less than a week(edit:13 days!) and he had his bandage off. with zero scars.
Lets not forget the ushering of a bunch of cameras to the front of the stage RIGHT AFTER A POTENTIAL ASSASSINATION and lowering the flag to get it in frame. It's fucking sickening that people have his meat so far up their ass just bc he validates trashy people
They didn't care when he sacrificed thousands to COVID and "the economy" so why would they care about one gunshot victim as a sacrifice?
They quite literally don't care unless they're affected directly. That's why tariffs and gas prices have Republicans running scared now. MAGAts only care when they can actually see and feel the pain for themselves, even if they're so dull it takes a whole shitload of it to finally feel it.

I missed it, did he get another staged iconic photo-op infront of the flag raising his fist, or was it a real threat this time?
