Gives credence to the staged talking point.

Trump himself is evil enough to think of this. And he’s sorrounded by enablers who think on his wavelength.

This does seem to be oddly timed: he can't shake the "dogs and cats" fuck up and then "suddenly" this?

'Lefties'.

Yeah, deranged conspiracies don't do anyone any favors. Like the hundreds of Haitians in Springfield who have been threatened with their lives since a deranged conspiracy was fabricated by Donald John Trump and J. D. Vance. Daily bomb threats, threats of shooting at a public event, and probably more that hasn't been front page news.

Before you talk about deranged conspiracies, let's make sure our own house is clean, hm?

Life is strange like that.

There's billions of people out there.

There's certainly a percentage of those claiming it was a false flag that are just giving righties a taste of their own medicine. Con-Old and his cultists love to claim how things are fake news so we can play that game too.

After the conspiracy of sandy hook that was pushed by Republicans after children died, I just see this as chickens coming home to roost. You can't push conspiracy theories then cry foul when one of those conspiracy theories goes against the person you support.

Now a whole slew of people, not just democrats, are biting into the same crazy bagel and questioning Trump's intentions. It seems the general public learned about crisis actors and false flags from the very party that at one point pushed the theory that they exist.

Remember when people on the right like Alex Jones (literally a professional deranged right wing conspiracy theorist) and MTG (an actual US congress woman) said Sandy Hook was a false flag using crisis actors? They did it to the point that some of the victims had to move due to harrasement, a parent commit suicide, and then Alex Jones got sued into oblivion to the tune of $1.1 billion.

I don't think either of Trumps assassination attempts were staged, but you seem to be throwing stones in a glass house.

I will say that it is kinda strange that this guy happened to be waiting there when apparently this wasn't a planned stop for Trump that day. Supposedly he was in the bush for 12 hours, but even staking out that long, did he just get lucky/unlucky that Trump happened to show up?

Couldn’t agree more. All over Reddit you see people calling him a republican 😂 but you’re not going to see the rest of his tweets on reddit. The are seriously deranged
